<\/i>Individual Deceased Personnel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le Graves Registration Service Departement de l’arm\u00e9e a compil\u00e9 un dossier pour chaque soldat mort pendant cette guerre. Ce dossier porte le nom de Individual Deceased Personnel Files,\u00a0\u00bb ou IDPF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les Quartermaster Graves Registration Company \u00e9taient des unit\u00e9s d\u2019intendance charg\u00e9es des affaires mortuaires. La mission consistait a assurer la r\u00e9cup\u00e9ration des corps, leur identification et leur inhumation ainsi que le retour de leurs objets personnels au Quartermaster Personal Effects Depot de Kansas City au Missouri. Ils leurs incombaient en outre d\u2019assurer l\u2019entretien des cimeti\u00e8res.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le FM 10-63 pr\u00e9cise que les corps devaient \u00eatre retir\u00e9s et enterr\u00e9s aussi rapidement que possible du champ de bataille afin de maintenir le moral du combattant.
Les itin\u00e9raires menant au lieu d’inhumation devraient, autant que possible, \u00e9viter tout contact avec les troupes. Les corps devraient \u00eatre couverts, surtout s\u2019ils avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 mutil\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resident of France Seeks Info On WWII Rockland Soldier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Nanuet Patch<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
September 15, 2011<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rockland County History Writer Linda Zimmermmann joins search to help find out about PFC James Jones who was killed in 1944 in France.Do you know a soldier named Private James Jones who came from Rockland County? A gentleman from France is trying to find out as much information as he can about Jones to keep his memory and his sacrifice alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fabrice Martin is a Frenchman who helps care for the graves of Allied soldiers killed in World War II. He has sent one Rockland County resident a photograph of Jones\u2019 final resting place, which is marked by a white cross and commemorates his death as June 15, 1944. His resting place is located in St. Laurent, France which overlooks Omaha Beach and it contains the remains of 9,387 American soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jones\u2019s story came to light thanks to Martin, who works for a software company in France. He is part of a group called Les Fleurs de la Memoire which is dedicated to honoring and cleaning the graves of American servicemen who freed France from Nazi occupation. Martin
had reached out to Rockland County resident and author Linda Zimmermann seeking information about the life of Jones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have been interested in the history of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy for many years,\u201d said Martin in an e-mail conversation with Patch. \u201cI used to go to ceremonies remembering D-Day and the Normandy landings.\u201d*<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Decades later, he would meet the American soldiers who survived the invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese ceremonies were always emotional for us; I was always fascinated that so many of them were young men when they left their homeland to fight in a land that was not their own. Many of them died and they need to be honored,\u201d said Martin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was particularly moved by Jones\u2019 tomb and he wanted \u201cto do something to say thanks.\u201d Martin also wanted to learn more about Jones\u2019s life before coming to France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen I received the e-mail from Mr. Martin about what he wanted to do, I was deeply touched,\u201d said Zimmermann. She explained, because she authored \u201cRockland County Century of History,\u201d Martin had e-mailed her seeking to find information about Jones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Martin\u2019s research, he found that Jones had been born in 1907 and he was 35 years old when he enlisted at Fort Jay Governor\u2019s Island. He landed in France during the Normandy Invasion on D-Day on June 6, 1944 as part of the 12th Infantry Regiment. However, his records were destroyed in a fire at the National Personnel Records Center in 1973\u2014yet he is listed on the World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War Memorial outside the Rockland County Courthouse in New City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Jones family had been residing at 124 Ramapo Road in Garnerville. His parents, Irving and Bertha, are buried in Mount Repose Cemetery in Haverstraw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Jones was killed in a battle of nearby Montebourg city which Martin described as a \u201cbloody step towards the capture of this port.\u201d And it wasn\u2019t until Jan. 1945 that his parents received his personal effects. In a letter sent to the family on behalf of the Army, the family received his wallet and pocket knife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was genuinely interested in knowing what life was like in Rockland County in the 1940s before James Jones was sent to the front,\u201d said Martin. \u201cI would be honored to thank his family for their sacrifice. I have two children myself, and I can\u2019t imagine the horror of
losing a child the way Irving and Bertha Jones (Jones\u2019 parents) did.\u201d He said his goal is to learn everything he can about Jones because he has earned Martin\u2019s \u201crespect, remembrance and friendship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zimmermann is asking for assistance to help connect Martin with Jones\u2019 family. She is hoping to find photographs, stories or anything that can be shared with Martin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust check out the news and sometimes countries can butt heads, but I wanted to share this, because here is a case of one person reaching out from one culture to another to say thank you for their assistance in the past,\u201d said Zimmermann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martin said the people of France were \u201cgrateful to the people of America and to the people of Rockland County.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHowever, time passes and we need to build or make new relationships to keep the memory of this period alive for present and future generations,\u00a0\u00bb said Martin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
