Hi, Bob and George, Thank you, the description of the sign and what each section/word meat is exactly what I needed. It has been years since I was in Germany (1985) but I'm glad I remembered it was like a city limits sign in the USA. The description or explanation of the burial proceedures helped too.. Thank you Nelda Nelda L. Percival nee Gilpin, IBSSG http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bonsteinandgilpin/ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gillock/ http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com
