JOVE23 Posted 23 July , 2018 Share Posted 23 July , 2018 Hello folks, Presented to you fine fellows is a Burial Index Card for an American World War I soldier. I've got most of this document figured out, but the one thing that is still vexing me is the "R.B. Sketch Number." I have a good idea what it is, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what R.B. stands for! I'm hoping that I can find this man's burial plat map if someone can figure out what the mysterious RB stands for. Been looking for this map for over 8 months so I'm trying to track down every lead that still exists. Best, Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry_Reeves Posted 23 July , 2018 Share Posted 23 July , 2018 (edited) Justin, it is the sketch as in RB Sketch Number - second paragraph. TR Edited 23 July , 2018 by Terry_Reeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Justin I suspect he is referring to the sketch which was mentioned as being used for re-burials. That would tie in with the 'sketch' mentioned on the form.

JOVE23 Posted 23 July , 2018 Author Share Posted 23 July , 2018 Hmmm, I see. Thanks! Now to locate the Reburial Sketches. I've found some, but my man's isn't among them. Might anyone have some pointers? I'd hate to think they were disposed of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph0ebus Posted 24 July , 2018 Share Posted 24 July , 2018 Got your PM, sorry I am late to the thread! I don't know if it connects or not but I found a reference to RB Sketches being Rifle Brigade sketches. No idea how legitimate this is, but link below for the source: http://albertkyte1914.blogspot.com/2015/07/ -Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
