Mr. David Atkinson, Superintendent of the Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery, I received a letter;
In response to your request, enclosend is the
adoption certificate for the following soldier: Sergeant Cecil E. Hill.
We thank you for the respect you show the soldiers buried here at Henri-Chapelle
American Cemetery and are most pleased to send you the certificate.
