Funeral for 1st. Lt. Burleigh E. Curtis (World War II)
Last December, DPAA announced that it had accounted for 1st. Lt. Burleigh E. Curtis, US Army Air Corps. 1st. Lt. Curtis was lost in France on 13 June 1944.
1st. Lt. Curtis will be buried next week – on Tuesday, 25 June 2019 – in Windham Center, Maine. Regrettably, DPAA does not seem to have posted the specific location for his funeral or interment.
If any TAH readers have the precise location for either 1st. Lt. Curtis’ funeral or interment, please post it in comments below. And if any readers are in that area and have the time, here’s an opportunity to give someone lost during World War II a proper final send-off.

Here’s hoping for a good turnout for Lt Curtis’s Services. I will raise a glass to him next Tuesday my self. Wanna bet Lt Curtis was recruited by Joshua Chamberlain back in June of ’44 to fly Air Cover for him and the 20th ME Troops when he arrived in Valhalla?
Thanks for the update Hondo.
It would appear that a memorial service was already held for him on June 15th, but specific details pertaining to a burial on the 25th are not forthcoming.
RIP and Hand Salute, Jug Driver.
Rest in peace Sir.
Rest in peace Sir, and a most LONG overdue: WELCOME HOME.
Rest in peace, LT Curtis. Second star to the right and straight on ’til morning.
Fair winds and following seas, Lt. Curtis.
Rest in Peace.
