Marmaduke J. Wiltse

Hello.

I would like to add some information for my Uncle Marmaduke Wiltse Jr.
He was my Mother?s only sibling and she has asked me to do this.
Marmaduke was in Company ?G? in the 507 PIR and was killed by artillery fire on Jan 8th, 1945 near Chisogne Belgium while manning his machine gun.
He was buried in the Grand Failly Cemetery in France and moved back to the states in 1949.
I have a scanned image of him in uniform and would love to add it to his profile. If that is possible, please let me know how to proceed.

Thanks for this site. I think it?s wonderful what you have done here

Respectfully
James A Eisenhower Jr.
