A long time ago, I posted a reqeust for finding the family of Lawrence F. Shea, a World War II soldier who is buried at the American War Cemetery Margraten in the Netherlands, I have adopted his grave and I take care for it. I found fortunately his family and have already contact for a few months with them. Again thank you for the help and your support, with finding information about Lawrence F. Shea!!!
In February and October this year I have two other graves adopted. On is the grave of Richard A. Wertheim. When I was looking for information about him I noticed that he also, like Lawrence Shea, came from Kings County. I will give some more information about him!
Richard A. Wertheim was born in 1915. He had two sisters, who are both deceased. He served first in the United States National Gard and drafted after one year in the US Army Air Forces. He was married with a women who is called probably Florence Wertheim, or something similiar to this name, I don't if she is still living. Richard Wertheim was Second Lieutenant in the 401st Bomb Squadron, 91st Bomb Group. He flew 8 missions as bombardier of his plane . He died on March 6, 1944 when his plane, the B17 My Darling Also, was rammed by a German Focke Wulf 190. The plane crashed. Two crew members could bail out but the other eight members were all killed. Richard A. Wertheim was 29 of 30 years old when he was killed. He is buried now on the Ardennes War Cemetery in Belgium. In October of this year I have adopted his grave.
I would be happy if I could get in contact with his family or when I will get more information about him. I would appreciate it when you want to help me with finding his family or information about him! Here is a picture of me with Second Lieutenant Richard A. Wertheim's grave:
I am still looking for the family of Richard Wertheim. I have the names of his sisters and his wife, but I believe they are all deceased. I will post the names of his sisters and his wife here, I hope anyone who know more about them or know a relative or a relative of them. I would be very happy if I can get in contact with Richard A. Wertheim's family.
Sisters:
Ruth Wertheim
Viola Wertheim
I guess they were married, so their last names would be have changed.
Wife:
Florence Wertheim
As said I hope that any knows a relative or is a relative of him, I would be really happy to get in contact with a relative of him!
