Two pages from Lt Giddings' IDPF
detail the transfer of his remains from

to
The National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific
Lt Giddings' remains were disinterred from the Yokohama Cemetery
in February 1949 and transported to
the American Graves Registration Service ( AGRS ) facility
at the Port of Yokohama.
They were there until 17 September 1949
when they were placed on board the
U S Army Transport ( USAT ) Daniel I Sultan.
By 7 October 1949 his remains arrived on
Oahu and Distribution Center 64, most likely Fort Shafter.
Interment took place 3 November 1949.
Beneath these documents is a letter to Mrs Giddings
stating that she would be receiving a form
requesting her wishes for her son's grave marker.
