I'm going to be going to Tunisia (among other places) over the holidays and plan on spending a little time at the North African American Cemetery in Tunis.  If any of y'all have relatives interred there, I'd be happy to do a grave stone rubbing for fellow Surls if time allows.  You can check it out here:

A few pics. A peaceful, beautiful and solemn place tucked right up next to the ruins of ancient Carthage.

We got there first thing in the morning so the light was great. They have gigantic mosaics that describe the campaign.

I’m glad we made the stop. I was a little surprised we weren’t the only ones there. There was a small tour group, presumably Americans. We were the only ones to sign the guestbook since 5 Dec 23.

Thanks for sharing.   Interesting thing on the marker you took a picture of for Clarence Fuller.   His date of death is January 1944.   I assume he was an airman flying out of Tunisia.   Kind of late to be a death attributed to North African fighting.

Yes.

Flight Officer 417th Fighter Squadron

I mainly posted because he was the first Texan I came across.
