These are historic photographs and speeches by Grand Duchess Charlotte and Brig.Gen. Howard L. Peckham (later Maj.Gen.) http://www.lulu.com/content/8261727
Gen. Peckham headed the American Graves Registration Command in Europe (1947-1950). NBC transmitted this Memorial Day broadcast in 1947 from Hamm Cemetery in Luxembourg to the USA. In her speech, the Grand Duchess pays tribute to American soldiers who lost their lives in the war--especially those who fought in the Ardennes--and to General George S. Patton, who had been laid to rest at Hamm.
