GETS DETAILS OF FUNERAL OF SON: PFC. ANDREW J. LAMPART KILLED BY ENEMY ARTILLERY MARCH 1.
Details of the death and burial of Pfc. Andrew J. Lampart, were received by his mother, Mrs. Annie Lampart, from Capt. Don F. Bline of the 399th Field Artillery battalion. Captain Bline wrote:
"It is with great sorrow that I inform you that your son, Private First Class Lampart, ASN 36413473, was killed in Germany by enemy artillery, March 1, 1945."
"He was buried with full military honors in Luxembourg. Before his death he as given the last rites of the Catholic church by Captain Noury, a Catholic chaplain whom Andrew knew well and liked very well. The funeral services were conducted by a Catholic chaplain from Corps Headquarters."
"In as much as Andrew had been a member of this battery for more than two years he was well known to all of us. In that time he proved himself to be an industrious worker and a cheerful and uncomplaining soldier, no matter to what job he was assigned. Some other soldier may be able to perform the duties which he performed in this battery, but no none will ever be able to take his place in our hearts. He will be sadly missed by all members of his section and his battery, for in losing him we know that we have lost one of our finest members, one of whom we and you can always be proud."
"Though I realize that no words of mine can comfort you at this time, please be assured that every officer and man in Battery 'B' extends to you his sympathy and condolence in our mutual loss."
