Message:
Thanks again for your interest in helping me find information on my cousin. His name was Raymond J Boucher SN 20108665. He is buried in Easthampton, MA where he was born on May 3, 1921. My records indicate he was killed on April 12, 1944 and was from the 3rd Bomb Group, 90th Bomb Squadron. I assume he is buried in Easthampton but the marker may be just a memorial and not an actual grave.
You indicate England but that may be New England.
Thanks again.
