Photo 2. Dan Lamey visiting his brother's grave.
I assume my father visited Rannie's grave after WW II ended in 1945. Perhaps the summer as he is in his shirtsleeves. There were just the wooden crosses at that time. Gravestones went in later. Dad came home in early 1946. I understand Rannie was killed just 5 miles from where my father was stationed in September 1944.

Dan Lamey visiting his brother's grave.
This is a long view of my father at Rannie's grave. And of how the cemetery looked in summer 1945. There were just the wooden crosses at that time. Gravestones went in later. Dad came home in early 1946. I understand Rannie was killed just 5 miles from where my father was stationed in September 1944.

My father Dan Lamey at the grave of his brother Rannie. Dad is wearing a heavy coat here. He returned from overseas so perhaps this is winter 1945-46 just before he a sailed home. Or the winter of 44-45 after Rannie was killed.

SCHOONSELHOF CEMETERY Belgium
Antwerp lies 57 Km north of Brussels on the E19 and 59 km north east of Gent on the E17 motorway. The cemetery itself is located in Wilrijk, a suburb of Antwerp. From the Bistplein in front of the railway station in Wilrijk follow the Kleinsteenweg for 300 M until you arrive at the ring road. Turn right and follow the ring road for 100 M to the first set of traffic lights and turn left. Go under the flyover and continue straight on over the dual carrageway into Jules Moretus Lei. Follow this street for 1 kilometre and the entrance to the Municipal Cemetery is on your left. After entering the cemetery follow the Commission signs to the three Commission plots at the far end of the cemetery.
Alternatively ask for their location at the office within the cemetery.
