bkristof Posted 2 December , 2004 Share Posted 2 December , 2004 Hi, Today i finally (after 2 year searching, asking) recieved more info about the site of death and cause of death of Richard Blieck (see signature). He was wounded in the area of Boyau du fusil (the rifle trench). He was hit by a schrapnell splinter who went in his belly on the right and went straight trough him ,coming out him on the left side. His intestine was hanging out a bit. He was also badly wounded at the left hand and arm. He was helped and transported by SB Vermeyen. He recieved firts aid at Boyau du fusil PS (poste secours / first aid). He died there of wounds at 06.00 and was transported to Lettenburg PS (i know that location). Knowing the location of dead, Dixmude and know the siteLettenburg, he possibly fought in the Trench of death as well! A very new topic for me! He was Trench Mortar man for the 7,5 cm mortar MVD. I just wanted to share this with you. kristof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
