The Wellington Leader October 24, 1946
Through information received recently, Mr. and Mrs. W.M. Davis of the Lone Mound community have learned that their son, Lt. Glen Davis, who was killed while flying a mission over Austria February 23, 1944, is buried in a German cemetery at Lambach, near Wels, Austria.
The Ward Department, which sent this word to Mr. and Mrs. Davis, received its information from German records translated into English.
Lt. Davis went overseas at Christmas 1943, and was stationed at Manduria Base, near Foggia, Italy. The mission on which his plane, the "Leaky Tub," went down was one to Styer, Austria. He was reported missing as of February 23, 1944.
The German report, dated February 28, stated that the plane, a Liberator, was shot down at 12:10 on that day by a German fighter, and listed the place of the crash as Bergham, Community Winsbach, near Lambach.
The report added that the plane was burned out in a crash and the wreckage was 100 per cent.
Lt. Davis was buried February 25, at Lambach.
First listed as missing, Lt. Davis was later declared by the War Department as presumed to be dead. A short time ago Mr. Davis' brother-in-law, Frank Stockton of Oklahoma City, was in Washington, and he requested the War Department to give him any information that he might desire from Glen Davis' file. It was after this request that Mr. and Mrs. Davis received the information as to their son's place of burial.
