This pains me to hear, but completely understandable

Stayed in Houffalize at the big hotel there for several weeks while we excavated a B-26 crash site in the area for DPAA. I frequently would walk or run up to that CWGC plot for that Lancaster crew.

THIS is what the socials are for, learning things I didn’t have a clue about

PGY-28

FFS, I wasn’t even in the ballpark 🤦‍♂️

We pretty much do finger these days on my HEMS program.

Is Waterloo Uncovered working on the battlefield again this summer?

That’s the stuff of nightmares…

Interesting, have you run across other posters for the Republican Air Force?

(My initial interest was the air war over Spain, but that of course led me down the rabbit hole of the entirety of the war)

Real Stasi vibes…

Unidentified WWI soldier exhumed from Wausau cemetery as agencies work to identify man The veteran died by suicide in 1930 and left a note that did not contain his name. He was buried with military honors in Pine Grove Cemetery in Wausau.

A project our team at the @uwmadison.bsky.social Missing in Action Recovery and Identification Project helped with last week:

Only stumbled upon it a few years ago and it has been a yearly listen for me.

Last year I listened to it on Christmas night in a dense fog while walking around the airfield at work…talk about ambiance fitting the occasion…😮

Staying tuned…

Very much looking forward to it 👍

The group I volunteer with at @uwmadison.bsky.social has done several successful archaeology excavations (terrestrial) and recovered US airmen in France and Belgium as a DPAA partner (in fact we were the first University partner). It is intensely gratifying but very challenging work.

55?
The RAF allowed “vintage” airmen on ops?
(Or only if you were an MP?)

There was a story on @npr.org this past week as well. Rare to see archaeology hitting the regular press, but welcome all the same.

A Hero Comes Home | On Wisconsin The UW’s MIA Project journeyed to France to find the remains of missing World War II pilot Walter “Buster” Stone and return them to grateful family members.

This Memorial Day, we highlight UW–Madison’s MIA Project, which is helping to discover and return the remains of soldiers who went missing in WWII and other conflicts.

Thank you for highlighting our MIA work, a project I’ve been involved with since 2015.

I knew a guy in Resources Management at Grand Canyon in the early ‘90’s that knew Abbey and apparently served as something of an inspiration for one of the characters in the “Monkey Wrench Gang”, his memory seemed ever present in those days at GRCA

Well deserved to you both, congratulations 👍

Many have commented on this as a plane “crash”…

That’s not a “crash” (!)

That’s a nicely executed forced landing.

Well, I guess there’s that…

What’s the view on the street in Japan about all of this?
Glean any sense on that front?
