Then and Now History grad chronicles WWII heroic sites A long the shores of the Moselle River in northeast France, World War II continues. For the dedicated volunteers who scour the area for the remains of Allied soldiers killed in action, the war won 't be over until the last serviceman is located, identified and sent home for a proper ceremonial burial. The recovery work is just one of

many efforts that honors the memory - and the heroism - of World War II. Now, a group led by Terrence Hammes Mowbray, a 1981 history graduate, is documenting these efforts and linking them to courageous deeds , both military and civilian, of the past. This September, a film crew from the International American He ritage Foundation, of which Mowbray is president, visited nearly SO World War II sites in France, Germany, Holland and Belgium.They photographed and researched projects such as a community cemetery in Belgium where civilians risked their lives to bury downed fliers , and an ongoing mine removal effort in France. The foundation plans to publish a book that will feature these stories in photographs, showing the locations as they appeared during the war and as they look now.

"Today we can take for granted the sacrifices made by sol– diers and civilians in Europe ," says Mowbray, whose father and uncle served in World War II. "But we shouldn't be so jaded that we forget the heroes of the past and the heroic efforts that continue today." In addition to the book, the foundation - which includes for– mer USD professors Ray Brandes and Robin Winchester Goodenough , and alumni Elisabeth Bradbury '98 (M .A.) and Michael McGee '81 - plans a series of documentary films and a traveling photo exhibit.They'll return to Belgium in January to photograph the winter sites of The Battle of the Bulge.
