My Mother's 1st Husband was killed in France, threes before VE Day. The town listed in his Obit is Cheveries, France, however I cannot find that town on Google Maps. The closest I can come is Cheverny, France. Can someone tell if there might be a town called Cheveries, and if so might they have newspapers from April 1945? He was killed is a train explosion, which should have made news in the area, as it was rather large. Any assistance would be greatfully appreciated.

Sincerely,

Dick Flippo

    @dflippo Could the location have been this airforce base? Chièvres Air Base

    This is another interesting article...not the same crash, right? Can you tell us the name of the veteran or any other information?
