Frank LennonSpecial to The JournalOn a Sunday four weeks ago, I walked through the stillness of a North African summer morning, marveling at the perfectly manicured grounds of the 27-acre North Africa American Cemetery in Tunisia. Here lie the remains of 2,841 of our military dead from World War II, representing 39% of the burials originally made in North Africa and Iran. He died Aug. 9, 1942 – a full two months before the U.S. invasion of North Africa began in November. The initial Providence Journal report (Aug. 31, 1942) says Leger died in an airplane crash, not that he was shot down. Furthermore, seven of the 11 crew members survived, and they must have corroborated what had happened.
