A Site Worth Seeing .. http://www.msnusers.com/ssleopoldville/ Allan Andrade has dedicated his website to remembering the 763 American soldiers of the 66th Infantry Division who were killed on Christmas Eve 1944. Their troopship was torpedoed in the English Channel 5.5 miles from Cherbourg, France. The bodies of 493 soldiers were never found. There are hundreds of families still unaware that it was the Leopoldville's sinking that took the life of their loved one. Andrade, the "Leopoldville Disaster" author and historian, has reached out to many families and provided them with information unavailable to them for 60 years. As the result of his efforts there is now a Leopoldville Disaster Monument upon which are engraved the names of all 763 dead in alphabetical order by state. The monument is located in Fort Benning, Georgia (home of the infantry) and was dedicated on 7 November 1997. Most recently Andrade helped the White House Commission on Remembrance coordinate a wreath-laying ceremony honoring the soldiers killed in the Leopoldville disaster at the Tomb of the Unknowns, Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. Arlington, The event took place on 15 November this year -- the 60th anniversary of 66th Division sailing from New York to England -- and was attended by 160 people from 23 different states from Maine to Florida to California. This Christmas Eve will be the 60th anniversary of the catastrophe. Anyone seeking info regarding a relative they think might have been killed in the disaster may contact Andrade via e-mail at agandrade37@msn.com He has a copy from the National archives of the official Army Leopoldville casualty list, which was prepared on 29 December 1944.

"My only intention is to help families find some measure of peace about relatives lost so many years ago in the sinking of the ship," Andrade said.
