Guest rgaulke Posted 24 September , 2003 Share Posted 24 September , 2003 Ladies and Gentlmen, Forum member Paul Guthrie has suggested that I post information regarding my new website, www.meuse-argonne.com, on this list. After starting the project in early 2003, I have filled in a lot of the empty pages over the last six months. The focus is on the Meuse-Argonne sector of the Western Front, with an emphasis on the battlefields. My goal is to make this an interactive website, so I am always looking for suggested website links, article and photo contributions, corrections, etc. Please take a look at it, and email me with any comments or suggestions.

Guest Pete Wood Posted 24 September , 2003 Share Posted 24 September , 2003 Hi Randy I like your before and after photos. Keep up the hard work. I hope you don't mind, but I will repeat your link so people can click on it from here rather than cutting and pasting. Here is the link to www.meuse-argonne.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul guthrie Posted 24 September , 2003 Share Posted 24 September , 2003 My pal Randy knows this subject well, he organized our US Branch WFA tour there in 1998 with Tony Noyes , speaks fluent German, some French, Re before and after, look in the background at the Exermont picture, barn has huge hole in 1918 and in 98 there is just a patch 80 years later, a hoot! Also the dead German in 98 being attended to by French dog is Randy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_East Posted 27 September , 2003 Share Posted 27 September , 2003 Hello Randy, You have a good historical site developing. I like paricularly the article on Frank Luke.His name will be forever remembered in air force circles by the naming of the now USAF base that bears his name. Did USAF Luke contribute to the restoration of his memorial? Present day units usually volunteer to assist. I will be in the Meuse -Argonne area in the next few weeks and I will try and get a close up photograph of the plaque on Frank Luke's memorial.As you know he is buried at nearby US Romagne Military Cemetary which must be one of the finest landscaped Western Front cemeteries although Bellau Wood takes some beating.

Frank_East Posted 19 October , 2003 Share Posted 19 October , 2003 Here is a close up of CMH Frank Luke's restored plaque on his memorial situated on the side of the D 102 in the sleepy village of Murvaux, Meuse Department, Lorraine. It has been in place for nearly 3 years and perhaps will remain to remind all of the bravery of one particular airman. Regards Frank East View of monument to follow.

Frank_East Posted 19 October , 2003 Share Posted 19 October , 2003 This should give a better definition of the inscription but the image pixel width specification will be excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
