Below are a few pages from Lt Grace's IDPF that explain how
the decisions to declare his remains as non-recoverable were reached.
These decisions discounted the statements by members of the crew
who were at various POW jails and camp.
( See Elements
of Doubt )
The three letters and documents within this section concern the
Quartermaster Corps unsuccesful efforts to
recover and / or identify the remains of Lt Grace.
Hap Halloran met several times with researcher Mr John Chapman III.
Mr Chapman's efforts were successful and
below is a letter written to Mr Chapman in 1993.
This letter is in the first two pages of Lt Grace's IDPF and
also appears on page 95 in Hap's War.
Page 2 has letters from within the Quartermaster Corps
requesting information or providing details of
the steps that had been taken to identify Lt Grace.
