NO LONGER AN 'UNSOLVED MYSTERY'

LT. LINCOLN BUNDY'S GRAVE DISCOVERED Whatever happened to LL Lincoln Bundy, a

486th pilot, on June 10, 1944 has remained a real mystery to not only his parents, but apparently to the U.S. government as well, for almost 52 years.

Recently, however, President Dick De Bruin was contacted by an English writer-historian for information on Lt Bundy and providing us with a

solution to that mystery, an exciting revelation to those of us working closely with the 352nd's history.

On both our Association trips to England we

have visited the American Cemetery near Cam- bridge and seen Lt Lincoln Bundy's name on the "Wall of Missing" along with some 15 other 352nd

pilots. Now, at least, we know what happened to

Lt Bundy--but neither his family nor the U.S. gover- were aware of this disclosure-until we told them.

Our English contact, Paul McCue, advised us he

is soon to publish a book on "Operation Bulbasket ",

an operation conducted by a squadron of the 1st

Special Air Service Regiment and ending as a

major tragedy of war. The majority of the S.A.S.

troopers were captured and subsequently executed

by their German captors. At that time, the troopers were "harbouring" a

downed U.S. fighter pilot, Lt Lincoln D. Bundy. Despite Bundy's status as a non-member of these

'Special Forces', he was executed along with the

30 captured S.A.S. members. "The three mass graves of the dead were found

in December, 1944 after liberation," McCue writes. Reburial took place in the nearby village cemetery

in Rom in the Deux-Sevres region. McCue went on to say: "Since completing my

book, I have come across information which sugg-

est that Lt Bundy was a member of the 352nd FG,

shot dawn Th P519 43-7152 by flak on 10 June 1944

near Istres." Checking our 352nd records we found that the

Utah pilot had only reported into the Group a few

days before D-Day and had only flown a few com-

bat missions prior to going down. 486th pilot Joe

Geist recalls that they were strafing some enemy

trucks and that Bundy was apparently hit by Ger-

man groundfire and crashed. Lt Bundy was apparently picked up by French

Resistance forces (The Maquis) and turned over to the S.A.S. squadron a few days later. Then, when

the Squadron was captured while harassing enemy

communications and transportation facilities, he

was executed, too. We (DeBruin and I) I were quite excited by this

news and immediately wondered if the Bundy family knew about this and, if not, did the govern-

ment know. While Dick DeBruin was obtaining

It vam

more information from Mr. McCue, your Editor wrote to the Sheriff of Washington County in Utah

to see if the family could be located. On receiving my letter, Sheriff Glenwood

Humphries called me to say he lived only a few

blocks from Bundy's sister, Mrs Dell Wood, and

she said the family had no previous knowledge of

this news. Subsequently, we have also taken appro-

priate action to advise U.S. government authorities. Meantime, Dick DeBruin has talked with Bundy's

sister and learned that Lincoln was one of 16 child-

ren, eleven of them boys. The parents are deceased,

but the Bundy clan gathers each year for a reunion

and they are most eager to get all the details avail-

able from this discovery, which we will try to obtain

and furnish. Although we only have photo copies sent by Mr

McCue, we are hoping to obtain actual photos from

him for the family and our historical records. We

also plan to get a copy of Mr. McCue's book when

it is published. Keep tuned for more on this story.

8th AFHS MEMBERSHIP DRIVE Many of you may have received a letter from the 8th

Air Force Historical Society soliciting your membership,

and that choice is yours, of course. However, there is

a lot of controversy having to do with the current leader-

ship of the Society. It appears that current policies and

actions of the Society are not in the best interest of au

Eighth Air Force veterans, and until these issues are

resolved we are not encouraging our members to join.

Please note. however. that this has nothing to do

with the Eiahth Air Force Heritage Museum. a com-

pletely separate entity and not part of the Society.

Membership and participation in the Eighth's Heri-

tage Museum proiect is enthusiastically encourag- ed and endorsed by the 352nd's leadership.

Proceedings of Board of Review appointed in accordance with letter AGAO-S 293.9 (27 Mar 47) D-11, Dept., TAGO, 9 April 1947.

1. The Board convened pursuant to par. 4, SO 32, Headquarters 7887 Graves Registration Detachment, APO 757, US Army, 10 April 1951, at Liege, Belgium, on 6 August 1951.

2. Members present:

JOES C. MacFARLAND, Lt Colonel, XC CLYDE W. STEINSIEK, Major, r= ROBERT W. GANSEL, 1st Lt, QM

3. PURPOSE: To review and determine, from evidence presented, the non-recoverability of the remains of World War II dead lost in the geographical area described below:

a. Vicinity of Rom, Deux-Sevres, France. Case A030.

b. Facts:

2nd Lt Lincoln D. BUNDY, 0 804 996, was the pilot and sole occupant of aircraft P-51-B-10 #43-7153, which was last sighted at 1015 hours on 10 June 1944, near Le Lailleraye, France.

4. FINDINGS:

a. Information on file reveals that Lt Bundy survived after 10 June 1944, and made contact with a unit of the British 1st S.A.S. Regiment. It is reported that Lt Bunt- was captured by the enemy, along with thirty (30) members of the British Unit, on 3 July 1944. This group of thirty one (31) men were executed in the forest of St. Sauvant, on 7 July 1944, and were interred in the local Cemetery at Rom, Deux-Sevres, France.

b. Investigation by the British G.R.E. Unit at Rom Cemetery disclosed that thirty (30) remains were clothed in battle dress, and one in civilian clothing. Individual identification was only established on three of the casualties. The remains which were dressed in civilian clothing were removed by American authorities to IMO Champigneul, Believed to Be the remains of Lt Bundy, however the remains could not be identified as Lt Bundy, and were subsequently designated as Unknown X-331, Champigneul, later Permanent Overseas Cemetery, Epinal, France.

Non-Recoverable Board Proceedings (Conttd)

c. The British have been contacted as to the possibility

of a Joint Processing of the remaining twenty seven remains that were

not identified, however, as a result of the Imperial War Graves re-

fusal to consider joint reprocessing of the remains in question in

a collectively named grave in the Communal Cemetery at Rom, France,

The Office of The Quartermaster General has requested that the re-

mains of Unknown X-331 originally interred with this group, be re-

turned to the Rom Cemetery as Non-American. This was completed on

23 July 1951.

GROP 293.9 19 February 1951

SUBJECT: Identification of World War II Decedent 2nd Lt Lincoln D. Bundy, 0-E04996

TO: The Lilitary Attache American Embassy London, England

1. This headquarters is endeqvoring to recover and identify the remains of 2nd Lt Lincoln D. Bundy, 0-804996, USAAF, who was the pilot

of a P-51 type fighter aircraft, which was last seen in the vicinity of La :eilleraise, France on 10 June 1944. Accordind to information acquired through French and British sources, Lt Bundy survived the

crash of his Aircraft and made contact with a unit of the British 1st

SAS Regiment. On 3 July 1944, he was captured, together with thirty (30)

members of that unit, and the entire group was executed in the forest of

St Sauvant, Deux-Sevres, France. All of the renains were then interred

in the local cemetery of Rom, France.

2. Subseouent investigation and disinterment of these graves by

British Graves Registration personnel disclosed that thirty (30) of the

remains were clothed in battle dress, whereas one (1) was in civilian

clothes. It was then assumed that the later mentioned remains were those

of Lt Bundy and they were consequently released to an American Graves

Registration Unit. Of the thirty remains the British were able to iden-

tify four (4) of them individually. The remainder were collectively named as the rest of the British casualties.

3. Processing in the Central Identification Laboratory revealed that the released remains were not these of the American decedent. They

were resultantly designated as Unknown X-331, USMC Champigneul, France.

4. Negotiations to obtain permission to examine the collective

graves of the British casualties were then initiated through the Imperial

War Graves Commission. This proposal was categorically refused but the

Commission offered instead to accept custody of Unknown X-331 for interment

in the collective graves and to commemorate Lt Bundy with the group in

accorance with the existing agreement, between our governments, wherein

32

group burials of British and US Deceased, the country having the prepon- derance of casualties retains the custody of the group and commemorates the other's casualties.

5. The Office of the Quartermaster General contends that the rule applicable to such groups does not apply in this instance inasmuch as no evidence exists that the remains in the collective graves are mangled or co-mingled. Thus anthropological processing by qualified technicians would result in the individual identification of Lt Bundy and possibly the British casualties.

6. The Commission was again informed of O'TG's position and the fact that we are prepared to furnish the necessary technicians and bear all costs incident to the proposed operation.

'7. Information contained in an informal letter to the RAF Liaison Officer, this headquarters, indicates that the Commission will not reconsider their previous decision and that a reply to this effect is being forwarded through diplomatic channels.

8. The above cited facts are provided, herein, to acquaint your Office with the c,se so that appropriate action can be taken to present the American viewpoint to the offices concerned, when you receive the Imperial War Graves Commission reply.

Bundy, Lincoln D.

STATEMENT OF INVESTIGATION

1. Subject decedent was pilot and sole occupant of a P-51 type

aircraft which was last seen in the vicinity of La Meilleraise, France

on 10 June 1944. According to information acquired through French and

British sources, Lt. Bundy survived the crash of his aircraft and made

contact with a unit of the British 1st SAS Regiment. He was caotured

with the thirty (30 members of that unit on 3 Jul v 1944, and the entire

group was executed in the forest of St. Liauvant, Deux-Sevres, France.

All the remains were interred in the local cemetery of Rom, France.

2. Investigation and disinterment of these graves by British

Graves Registration personnel disclosed that thirty (30) of the remains

were clothed in battle dress and one in civilian clothes. Tt was be-

lieved that the remains clothed in civilian clothes were those of Lt.

Bundy, and they were released to American ',raves Re-istration Service.

Four (4) of the thirty (30) remains have been individually identified

and the remaining twenty-six (26) were collectively named as British

casualties.

3. Subsequent processing of the remains believed to be Lt. Bundy

established unfavorable physical characteristics and dental comparison.

The remains were designated Unknown X-331, Champigneul.

4. Attempts to secure permission from the British War Graves Com-

mission to process the twenty-six casualties resulted in refusal. (Tab A)

In a final attempt to gain permission for exhumation of the British cas-

ualties, the State Department was requested to take up the case with the

proper authorities (Tab B). Reply (Tab C) received through the State

Department indicates that the Foreign Office is unable to modify the terms

of the British agar Gra'res Commission.

5. All possible efforts have been made to gain permission for the

exhumation of the twenty-six British casualties with negative results.

It is therefore concluded that the remains of Lt. Bundy are nonrecoverable.

2. This headquarters and the office of the fluartermaster General,

',:ashington, D.C. do not have sufficient evidence that the remains of 2d Lt

Lincoln D. Bundy, 0-804996, should be included in a Group Burial so that the

next of kin may be advised accordingly. There is no evidence that the remains

interred in the collective grave at Rom are mangled or co mingled and, because

of the nature and circumstances of death, a disinterment and processing of the

remains by qualified Identification Technicians would result in the identification of 2d Lt Bundy.

3. Clualified Identification Technicians are available to accomplish

the processing and complete reports including tooth charts and physical charac-

teristics of the remains will be furnsihed the Imperial War Graves Commission upon completion and processing as an aid in establishing the identification of

the British personnel involved.

4.It is urgently requested that the possibility of a joint disinterment

SUBJECT: Identification of World War II Deceased

14 March 1951

1. The investigation conducted by this Office and the 7887 Graves

Registration Detachment, Liege, Belgium, to recover and/or identify

the remains of Second Lieutenant Lincoln D. Bundy, 0-804996, has

resulted in the conclusion that the remains designated Unknown X-331,

USL'C Champigneul, France, recovered from the Communal Cemetery, Ron,

France, are those of a British subject and that the remains of Lieutenant

Bundy are included in the interment in 26 graves of the Communal

Cemetery, Rom, France.

2. Lieutenant Bundy was the pilot and sole occupant of a P-51

aircraft, number 43-7153, which was last sighted on 1C June 1944, near

La Mailleraye, France, while on an area patrol mission.

3. On 5 December 1945, a British Captain, J. Fraser T:LLuskey,

reported that "Lt Bundy, who had apparently bailed out somewhere in

France during the summer of last year, was captured by the Germans,

along with one of our Squadrons which he had joined, and (etas) shot

along with, on or about 7 July 1944. He is buried, along with 30

members of the Squadron in Rom, Deux Sevres, France (France 1/250,000

Sheet 20. U 2946)". Four of the 30 remains have been individually

identified as British subjects.

4. An investigation at Rom, France, by American Graves Registration

Service Personnel, European Area, resulted in the recovery of remains

believed to be those of Lieutenant Fundy through the inscription on

the cross marking the grave. Subsequent examination of the remains

revealed physical characteristics and dental features which cannot be

associated with those recorded for Lieutenant Bundy. It is therefore

apparent that an administrative error occurred in recording the

initial interment in the Comunal Cemetery at Rom, France, and that the remains now designated Unknown X-331 are those of a British subject.

The remains of Lieutenant Bundy have not been recovered because of the

administrative error.

5. The Head Office of the Imperial War Graves Commission, French

District, ARRAS, has expressed the view that the grave containing 26

British burials should not be opened. The Commission assured that,

should the remains of Unknown X-331 be returned for reburial in the

collective grave at Rom, they will commemorate Lieutenant Bundy, USAAF,

there in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the United

States Government (concerning Group Burials involving decedents of both

nations. (See Incl l)

6. Because of the circumstances through which Lieutenant Bundy

became a casualty and individual identification of his remains was

established at the time of interment in the Communal Cemetery at Ron,

France, it can be concluded that no commingling of remains should

exist and that the major identifying features are present. Therefore,

this Office is extremely reluctant to inform the next of kin of a

Group Burial before every possibility of recovering the remains is

explored. (See Intl #2)

7. The American Embassy, London, England, received from the

Foreign Office, note No. 04, dated 13 February 1951, regarding a request made by 7887 Graves Registration Detachment, Liege, Belgium,

through the RAF Liaison Officer to the Imperial War Graves Commission,

(Incl #2) for permission to exhume the 26 remains buried collectively

in Rom Communal Cemetery, France. The Foreign Office referred to the

basic agreement between the British and American Governments in which

it was decided that final disposition concerning a mixed grave should

rest with the nation whose dead were in the majority, and that correspondence on the subject of mixed graves should be conducted

through diplomatic channels. (See Incl #3)

8. Since all available evidence indicates that no commingling of remains exists, that all remains involved were interred in individual

graves in the Connunal Cemetery at Rom, France, that the remains of

Lieutenant Bundy were individually identified at the time of interment,

and that the remains have not been recovered because of an administrative

error, this Office has not considered the basic agreement concerning

mixed graves applicable.

graves in the Communal Cemetery at Rom, France, that the remains of

Lieutenant Bundy were individually identified at the time of interment,

and that the remains have not been recovered because of an administrative

error, this Office has not considered the basic agreement concerning

mixed graves applicable.

The Embass,y has received from the Foreign Office note Noo k/54 dated February 13, 19519 a copy of Which is quoted below, regarding a request made by the American Graves 0 Registration Comuland, European Area, through the RAF Liaiton Officer to the Imperial War Graves Commission for permission to exhume 26 remains buried collectively in Rom Communal Cemetery, France° In this conneotion the Foreign Office refers to the basic agreement between the British andAmerioan Governments in which it was decided that final disposition concerning a mixed grave should rest with the nation whose dead were in the mejorite, and that correspondaftee an the subject of mixed graves should be conducted through the

diplomatic channel°

"I have the honour to state that in July, 1950 the Head Office of the Imperial War Graves Commission in France received a request from the American Graves Regiete ration Command, European Area, through the Royal Air Forow Liaison Officer, for permission to exhume twenty.naix remains collectively burled in Rom Communal Cemetery, France, in an endeavour to establish the identity of Se eondeLleutenent Lincoln Do Bundy 0-804996, United States Army Air Peieee

"The Commission were informed that the American +.:reves Registration Detachment (Liege) had been unable to identify the remains of a twenty-seventh casualty, at one time presumed to be those of Second Lieutenant Bundy, and Shove in their recorde as ?Uekrown X-331, U0SoMoCo ChampimeUro

"In August 1950 the French District Office of the Commission were instructed to inform the American Graves Registration Command, European Area, with regret, that permission to exhume the twenty-six remains was contrary to their established policy and could not be accorded, but that consequent upon the return of the remains of "Unknown Xe531" to the collective grave at Rom, the Com mission would willingly commemorate Second-Lieutenant Bundy there, in accordance with the terms-of the Agreement which exists between our two Governments regarding the iinal disposition of the remains of United States and British dead x"elc.

2. In addition to the information furnished by your office in tae above cited indorsement, this office has on file a letter dated 5 December 1945 from Captain J. Fraser McLuskey, British First Special Air Service Regiment concerning the above mentioned deceased, which, it is believed, is not a matter of record your office.

3. On the basis of the information furnished in Captain McLuskey's letter, an investigation was made at Rom, France, in June 1946, and resulted in the recovery of the remains believed to be those of 2/Lt BUNDY. How- ever, the identity could not be established and these remains were designated Unknown X-331 Champigneul. Sub- sequent efforts by this Headquarters failed to substan- tiate any association with the deceased in question. The remains of Unknown X-331 Champigneul have been declared unidentifiable.

4. It is believed that the remains of X-331 are those of a British soldier and that the remains of 2/1,t Bundy are still interred among the twenty-six (26) collectively named burials in Rom Cemetery.

Dear Colonel Power,

I understand that the location of the grave of the crew of

one of your aircraft, which crashed on the night of 18th/19th July 1944 in Nievre, France, has already been brought to your notice.

The crew are buried near the village of Marigny ltEglise, which is not far from Lormes in the Nievre. The pilot of the aircraft was Lt. Michaelson and I understand that the plane was a Liberator.

At the time of the crash, I was operating with one of the squadrons behind the German lines in the Nievre and your aircraft collided with a British plane which they were attempting to sup-

ply our area. Both aircraft fell in the area of our camp. I

buried the members of the American crew.

The crew of the British aircraft, which fell nearer the main road, were buried by the Germans in the local parish cemetery where a monument has been raised to the members of both crews by the local villagers. I enclose a snap of the monument and a copy of the inscription which is not clear on the snap.

If there is any further information which I could supply, or

if there is anything I can do for the next-of-kin, I shall be glad if you will let me know.

7 I should also be glad to have from the name and address of

the next-of-kin of 0-804996 Lt. Bundy (Lincoln D.) U.S.A.A.F. Lt. Bundy, who had apparently baled out somewhere in France during the summer-Oflast year, was captured by the Germans along with one of our Squadrons which he had joined and shot along with them on or about 7th July 1944. He is buried, along with 30 members of the Squadron, in Rom, Deux Sevres, France. (France 1/250.000 Sheet 20, 13.2946).

I do not know whether the location of this grave has already been notified to you or not, but I should be glad to write to his next-of-kin acquainting them with the circumstances of his death.

I am, Yours faithfully

a/J. Fraser McLuakey.

P.S. I have notified the location of the grave at Rom to D.A.D.G.R Major Ratcliffe, 20 Rue Pasteur, BORDEAUX, who is registering British war graves in that area.

There is enclosed a letter dated April 3, 1951 from

the Department of the Army, with its enclosures, regarding the

desire of the Army to recover the remains of Second Lieutenant Lincoln D. Bundy, interred in the Communal Cemetery at Rom. It will be seen that through an administrative error the remains

of Lt Bundy have not been recovered. In view of this administrative error and since it does not appear that the grou7) remains

which include those of Lt Bundy are co-mingled, it is honed that

the Imperial War Graves Commission will reconsider its decision reported in the despatch under reference.

Please take this matter ur with the appropriate authorities and renort to the Department.

SUBJECT: Identification of World War II Decedent 2nd Lt Lincoln D. Bundy, 0-804996

TO: The Military Attache American Embassy London, England

1. This headquarters is endeavoring to recover and identify the remains of 2nd Lieutenant Lincoln D. Bundy, 0-804996, USAAF, who was the pilot of a P-51 type fighter aircraft, which was last seen in tie vicinity of La :Seilleraise, France on 10 June 1944. According to infonna: ion acquired through French and British sources, Lt Bundy survived the crash

of his aircraft and made contact with a unit of the British 1st SAS Regiment. On 3 July 1944, he was captured, together with thirty (30) members of that unit, and the entire group was executed in the fercit of St Sauvant, Deux-Sevres, France. All of the remains were then interred in the local cemetery of Ran, France.

2. Subsequent investigation and disinterment of these graves Sy British Graves Registration personnel disclosed that thirty (30) of the remains were clothed in battle dress, whereas one (1) was in civilian

clothes. It was then assumed that the later mentioned remains were those

of Lt Bundy and they were consequently released to an American Graves Registration Unit. Of the thirty remains the British were able to identify four (4) of them individually. The remainder were collectively named as the rest of the British casualties,

3. Processing in the Central Identification Laboratory revealed

that the released remains were not those of the American decedent. They

were resultantly designated as Unknown 1-331, USMC Champigneul, France.

4. Negotiations to obtain permission to examine the collective

graves of the British casualties were then initiated through the Imperial War Graves &ommissicn. This proposal was categorically refusA but the Ccmmission offered instead to accept custody of Unknown 1-331 for interment

in the collective graves and to commemorate Lt Bundy with the group in accordance with the existing agreement, between our governments, wherein

69




.

GROP 293.9 SUBJECT: Identification of WW II Decedent


19 February 1951

group burials of Br!tish and US deceased, the country having the prepon- derance of casualties retains the custody of the group and commemorates the other's casualties.

5. The Office of the Quartermaster General contends that the rule applicable to such groups does not apply in this instance inasmuch as no evidence exists that the remains in the collective graves are mangled or co-mingled. Thus anthropological processing by qualified technicians would result in the individual identification of Lt Bundy and possibly the British casualties.

6. The Commission was again informed of =GIs position and the fact that we are prepared to furnish the necessary technicians and bear all costs incident to the proposed operation.

7. Information contained in an informal letter to the RAF Liaison Officer, this headquarters, indicates that the Commission will not reconsider their previous decision and that a reply to this effect is being forwarded through diplailatic channels.

SUBJECT: Identification of World War II Decedent 2nd Lt Lincoln L. Bundy, 0-804996

TO: The 1. litany Attache American Embassy London, England

1. This headquarters is endeavoring to recover and identify the remains of 2nd Lieutenant Lincoln D. Bundy, 0-804996, USAAF, who was the pilot of a P-51 type fighter aircraft, which was last seen in the vicinity of La ireilleraise, France on 10 June 1944. According to informa-don acquired through French and British sources, Lt Bundy survived the crash of his aircraft and made contact with a unit of the British 1st SAS Regiment. On 3 July 1944, he was captured, together with thirty (3)) members of that unit, and the entire group was executed in the forest of St Sauvant, Deux-Sevres, France. All of the remains were then interred in the local cemetery of Ran, France.

2. Subsequent investigation and disinterment of these graves by British Graves Registration personnel disclosed that thirty (30) of the remains were clothed in battle dress, whereas one (1) was in civilian clothes. It was then assumed that the later mentioned remains were those of Lt Bundy and they were consequently released to an American Graves Registration Unit. Of the thirty remains the_British were able to identify four (4) of them individually. The remainder were collectively named as the rest of the British casualties.

3. Processing in the Central Identification Laboratory revealed that the released remains were not those of the American decedent. They were resultantly designated as Unknown X-331, USMC Champigneul, France.

4. Negotiations to obtain permission to examine the collective graves of the British casualties were then initiated through the Imperial War Uraves Commission. This proposal was categorically refused but the Commission offered instead to accept custody of Unknown X-331 for interment in the collective graves and to commemorate Lt Bundy with the group in accordance with the existing agreement, between our governments, wherein

group burials of Brtish and US deceased, the country having the prepon- derance of casualties retains the custody of the group and commemorates the other's casualties.

5. The Office of the cuartermaster L;eneral contends thA the rule applicable to such groups does not apply in this instance inasmuch as no evidence exists that the remains in the collective graves are mangled or co-mingled. Thus anthropological processing by qualified technicians would result in the individual identification of Lt Bundy and possibly the British casualties.

6. The Commission was again informed of (..QMG's Position and the fact that we are prepared to furnish the necessary technicians and bear all costs incident to the proposed operation.

7. Information contained in an informal letter to the RAF Liaison OfZicer, this headqarters, indicates that the Commission will not reconsider their previous decision and that a reply to this effect is being forwarded through diplomatic channels.

Embassy's despatch no 4024, February 28, 1951, entitled "Mixed Grave at Ram Communal Cemetery. France."

There is enclosed a letter dated April 3, 1951 from -

the Department of the Army, with its enclosures, regarding the 2

desire of the Army to recover the remains of Second Lieutenant r-

Lincoln D. Bundy, interred in the Communal Cemetery at Worn. It will be seen that through an administrative error the remains m of. Lt Bundy have not been recovered. In view of this admInistrat=2" ive error ana, since it does not appear that the group remains which include those of Lt. Bundy are co-mingled, it is hoped that the Imperial War Graves Commission will reconsider its decision reported in'the despatch under reference.

Please take this matter up with the appropriate authorities and report to the Department.

Dear Amlong:

41

2 April 1951

Our friends in the Department of State have been quite disturbed by your action in taking up direct with the British, the cases of second Lieutenant Lincoln D. Bundy, 0-804996, and Corporal George C. Miller, 35381016.

In the case of Bundy, the British protested through our Embassy in London that we had gone out of channels, and in the case of Miller, a member of the Embassy Staff expressed a similar view.

While there is no desire here to restrict informal liaison with the operating personnel of other na'ionalities actually engaged in graves registration aotivities, our friends in the Department of State feel that approaches to United States diplomatic missions and foreign governments should be made only through our established channel here. The Department of State then will determine the proper action.

I am inclined to agree that at this stage in our operations there is nothing so urgent that it cannot be taken up through this Office with the Department of State. This course will avoid both embarrassment and confusion such as we now are suffering in connection with the un- recovered dead in the Soviet occupation zone of Austria. There some- body speaking in behalf of the Army apparently has informed the United States diplomatic mission that there are only twelve unresolved cases, whereas here we know of nearly two hundred requiring further search.

Sincerely yours,

JAI TS B. CLEARWATER Colonel, QLIC

MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD:

A0B/hgb/1C6745111376

26 September 1949

SUBJECT: Review of Circumstances Surrounding the DisappearInce of Second Lieutenant Lincoln D. Bundy, 0804996, Air Corps.

1. Second Lieutenant Lincoln D. Bundy, 0804996, Air Corps, was re ported missing in action over France, since 10 June 1944, while on flying pay status, by Casualty Shipment No 099, EEO, and was presumed dead as of 11 June 1945, under the provisions of Section 5, Missing Persons Act.

2. Missing Air Crew-Report No. 5552, dated 10 June 1944, reveals that Lieutenant Bundy was pilot and sole occupant of a P-51 aircraft No 43-7153, which departed AAF Station F-141, in England, on an area patrol mission to France on 10 June 1914. The plane was last sighted at 1015 hours an that day near LeMailleraye, France, under the conditions given in the following-quoted statement of Second Lieutenant William H Reese, 0701163, which is attached to the Crew Report:

"2nd LT LINCOLN D. BUNDY, 0-804996, AC, was flying Angus White Two and I van flying White Three.

"We had just finished strafing a group of trucks, one of which Lt Bundy destroyed, with our flight leader, Major STEPHEN W ANDREW, 0-429340, AC. I rejoined with Major Andrew and when the Major called to Lt. Bundy to rejoin formation there was no response.

"It Bundy was last seen in the area near La Mailleraye, France. The time was approximately 1015 hours."

3 Captured German Records, of record in this office, show a number of P-51 (Mustang) aircraft downed in the vicinity of Cherbourg and LeHavre, France, on 10 June 1944, but no association can be made with Lieutenant Bundy's aircraft, due to the difference in time.

4. The Office of The Quartermaster General, Memorial Division, (Miss Dyer) reports that Identification Section was endeavoring to associate X-331 Unknown with that of Lieutenant Bundy, but have set with negative results.

5.. In the absence of any definite information as to the fete of Lieutenant Bundy, of the location of the place where the plane crashed, it is concluded that the information of record in the Department of the Army, at this time, does not warrant the issuance of an official report of death under the provisions of Section 9, Missing Persons Act

his property is being forwarded in a footlocker and should

reach you in the near future.

of itself, vest title in you. The items are forwarded in

order that you may act as gratuitous bailee in caring for

them pending the return of the owner, who has been reported

essary that the property be turned over to the person or

persons legally entitled to receive it.

it if you will sign one copy of the inclosed receipt, indicat-

ing that you will act in the capacity stated, and return it
