Greetings Ms. Whitesell,

Your great-great-grandfather Arnold Thomasson is definitely
buried here, and we appreciate very much your interest in
the accuracy and completeness of what we know about him
(admittedly, that's very little). I've just finished
updating our website to reflect the good information you
sent in your e-mail. Here's the link:

http://www.gravegarden.org/roster/t.htm

Thomasson is buried in an individual grave (i.e., *not* in a
mass grave), but he does not have his own headstone.
However, his name, military unit, and grave number *are*
listed on the large marble monument in the pictures I sent
Debbie last year. The monument sits in the center of Lot
178 and lists the names of all 50 men buried there,
including Thomasson.

If you have any other questions, or if I need to make any
changes to the roster webpage, please let me know.

Thanks again,
