Dutch foundation dedicated to recovering MiA's
« on: August 24, 2009, 06:36:38 AM »
I found this on a Dutch forum, I didn't know until then that such an organisation existed. Their goal is to locate and where possible identify the remains of soldiers of any nation listed as missing in action but actually fallen and whose remains have gone lost maybe in battle, or after a withdrawel of friendly forces, so they may yet be given the proper honours and any existing family may be informed.

The site is in Dutch, German and English.

Thanks Ocin,

You should be proud of your fellow countrymen for such a noble endeavor. I too was unaware of this group and I thank you for the information.
