I'm going to be going to Tunisia (among other places) over the holidays and plan on spending a little time at the North African American Cemetery in Tunis.  If any of y'all have relatives interred there, I'd be happy to do a grave stone rubbing for fellow Surls if time allows.  You can check it out here:

Thanks for sharing.   Interesting thing on the marker you took a picture of for Clarence Fuller.   His date of death is January 1944.   I assume he was an airman flying out of Tunisia.   Kind of late to be a death attributed to North African fighting.

Yes.

Flight Officer 417th Fighter Squadron

I mainly posted because he was the first Texan I came across.
