Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery
Henri-Chapelle, Belgium
Awards: Purple Heart with Oak Leaf Cluster
At the Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery and Memorial in Belgium, covering 57 acres, rest 7,992 of our military dead, most of whom lost their lives during the advance of the U.S. armed forces into Germany. Their headstones are arranged in gentle arcs sweeping across a broad green lawn that slopes gently downhill. The cemetery possesses great military historic significance as it holds fallen Americans of two major efforts, one covering the U.S. First Army's drive in September 1944 through northern France, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg into Germany, the second covering the Battle of the Bulge.
After the War, grateful families in Belgium, Netherlands, and France began adopting the graves of soldiers to maintain and honor. Louis Douglas' grave has been adopted by Max Poorthuis of the Netherlands.
