Which bears a sword Can pierce an armed man. It hurls its barbed syllables, And is mute again. But where it fell The saved will tell On patriotic day, Some epauletted brother Gave his breath away. |
Wherever roams the day, There is its noiseless onset, There is its victory! Behold the keenest marksman! The most accomplished shot! Time’s sublimest target Is a soul “forgot”! ----- Emily Dickinson |
The temporary U. S. Military Cemetery at Andilly, France received 10 unknowns who have never yet been identified. This web page lists all 10 and gives a summary of the information for each. The columns are:

The administrators at Andilly did NOT include the X-number on some of the cross-reference identification sheets. Instead they used a France-wide numbering system for Unknowns. Thus instead of an identification sheet showing "Unknown X-47" those sheets showed "Unknown 21349 France". The following table gathers the information from all Andilly cross-reference identification sheets and burial rosters (3 distinct PDF files). Clearly, the cross-reference sheets fail to include all accounted Andilly Unknowns. The main ETO Unknowns web page includes references to some of those other Andilly X-numbers, sometimes with identification and sometimes without identification. Those are NOT included on this web page, since this web page includes only references in the surviving Andilly-specific records. At this time (7 Aug 2019), the references below have not yet been integrated into the main ETO Unknowns web page, but I do intend to do that integration when time allows. NOTE: X-23 and X-44 appear in both the list above of still-unidentified cases and in this list, since in both cases remains from another case were consolidated into those cases. |
