NORMANDY, France (June 19, 2018) Radioman 2nd Class Julius “Henry” Pieper’s niece, Susan Lawrence, places a rose on the grave of Pieper’s twin brother, Radioman 2nd Class Ludwig “Louie” Pieper, during the funeral service for Henry Pieper at Normandy American Cemetery. Henry and Louie Pieper were both killed when their ship, Landing Ship Tank (LST) 523, struck an underwater mine off the coast of France on June 19, 1944. Louie’s remains were found immediately, but Henry’s remains weren’t identified until December 2017. The family requested that Henry be buried in Normandy next to his brother.
