Hello Listers, Would any of you like to help, or have any ideas on how to locate information on this WWII soldier from Minneapolis who died in Belgium in 1944 and is buried in Belgium? See letter I received below. I found Albert C Martin with his parents in the 1930 census living on Mt. Curve Ave. in Minneapolis. Albert was 9 years old and the only child in the household. I found his parents in the 1955 Minneapolis Telephone Directory, still living at 1828 Mt. Curve Avenue. I don't know if it's possible to locate living relatives, especially if Albert Martin was an only child. Possibly, there was an obituary for him in the Minneapolis newspapers when he died in Belgium, an obituary for his parents, or if Albert graduated from High School maybe his pictures in a yearbook? Could there also be army photograph of him somewhere? Is there an archive? He served as 1st Lt. (Serial # 0514722) 590th Field Artillery Battalion, 106th Infantry Division. Let me know if you can help out or have any ideas. Thanks, Claudia Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2008 3:33 PM Subject: Albert C. Martin Sire, Let me introduce myself. My name is Vandeberg Vincent, I 'am 39 years old. I am married and have two children, Mandy and kevin. I am living in Baelen- Membach (Belgium). Its are 9 miles from the American Cemetery from Henri-Chapelle .We living in the corner from the Dutch and German border. I am very interrested in WWII. I have a Willys jeep and take part to the commemorations in my county. I collect also intems from WWII. I have also adopted many graves from US Soldiers at the American Cemetery from Henri-Chapelle (Belgium) and one grave at Colleville sur Mer (Omaha-Beach, France).I think that it is normal to pay homage to those which released us from the Germans. I am looking to find more information from 1 Lt. Albert C. Martin he cames from Hennepin County ,Mn, and died 21 December 1944 in Belgium. I adopted also his Grave at the American cemetery from Henri-Chapelle. The only information that I have are the name from his father and mother and address where the burial flag where send; Mac Martin and Helen Cobb Martin , 1828 Mt Curve Ave. , minneapolis ,minnesota. I am looking to find a family member or if its are posibel a picture from him and also a little information . I posted also the storie from Albert C. Martin on Kevin Klumps website ; http://www.inproudremembrance.com/front%20page.html Have a nice day. Looking forward to hearing more from you. Vandeberg Vincent from Belgium.
