Graveplot charts of the US Temporary Military Cemetery, Truk

mlbc Feb 28, 2018 10:02 AM

I am looking for Graveplot charts of the US Temporary Military Cemetery, Truk, Moen Island, Caroline Islands, Central Pacific. The cemetery was in operation from 8 Dec 1945 until 31 Dec 1946. I would like the graveplot chart and any other records for the Unknown Graves marked X-1 through X-7. I believe these to be part of RG 92.9.2 Records of the American Graves Registration Service (AGRS). How do I request these?

Dear Ms. Collins,

Thank you for contacting the History Hub!

A search of the National Archives Catalog indicates that two series titled “Maps of Temporary American Grave Sites Overseas, 1946 - 1951” [NAID 642000] and “Grave Plot Charts of American Dead, 1946 - 1951” [NAID 643574] may be the records are you seeking. These series are in the custody of National Archives at College Park - Cartographic (RDSC) and the email address is carto@nara.gov. Please contact them for access to these records.

We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
