Exercise Tiger Tribute in Mexico, Missouri

 

See the photographs from an Exercise Tiger Memorial in Mexico, Missouri
sent to me by Lyndal Barker, whose uncle,
Pfc. Wallace Smith, of the 3206th Quartermaster Service Co., perished on board LST 531.
His name is on the Wall of the Missing at
Cambridge American Cemetery

Many of the soldiers who died from the 3206th, were residents of the state of Missouri.
