This is my grandpa Francis Diveley's brother. Information at this link gives more detail about how he died. https://uiaa.org/veterans/wayne-clement-diveley/. Mom had thought he was buried in Holland. A cousin thought he had been shot as a paratrooper on D-Day. So I looked him up. University of Illinois Alumni, Veteran's Memorial Project, Wayne C. Diveley, Decatur, Illinois. https://uiaa.org/veterans/wayne-clement-diveley/. Thanks very much! I think our veterans should be remembered as much as possible.
