| Message | Reply to Eric Lien Guestbook posting: Eric, I did check the abmc site and found the information on Hugh James Holthouse. I didn't see the FAQS before, which give more information as to why remains are not always returned home. Hugh must have been on the third USS Houston, which was hit at Formosa on Oct 14, 1944, because his name is listed there, too, as part of the Lost at Sea Log. I don't know much about this or why he was buried in the Manila cemetery if lost at sea -- maybe, because his body was not recovered. I know his daughter will appreciate all the help you have given me and she will be very grateful. If she needs further information, I have printed out phone numbers to call, etc. Thank you again, very much for your help. Deann Ernhard |
