Seeking information on vehicle accident & PFC David Gray Pennell

Christina Drain Nov 11, 2019 4:43 PM

I'm looking for information specifically on PFC David Gray Pennell, who was killed in a truck accident in Charleroi, Belgium 14 Feb. 1945. His grave marker in Cleveland, Ohio says Co. C 23rd Armored Infantry, although we aren't sure if that is correct. Also looking for more information on the accident and circumstances around it, as well as the forest rebuilding mission of the Ardennes Forest, WWII. Thanks!

Dear Ms. Drain,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

The information you seek may be contained in his Individual Deceased Personnel File (IDPF). For the IDPFs from 1940-1976 of personnel with surnames that begin with M-Z, please write to U.S. Army Human Resources Command, Casualty & Memorial Affairs Operations Division, ATTN: AHRC-PDC, 1600 Spearhead Division Avenue, Department 450, Fort Knox, KY 40122-5405.

For the information you seek about the World War II Ardennes reforesting mission, we suggest you contact the National Archives of Belgium and Ardennes Region, Europe for additional information.

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