The plaque on Government Bridge across the Moselle at Flavigny reads: "In Memory of Lt. Ralph T. Brennan and his Comrades of the 35th American Infantry Division Who Gave Their Lives for Our Freedom 10-11 September 1944." Lt. Brennan was commanding officer of F-134-44 at the time of his death. Family members engraved a cross for him 1946, but records were lost. In searching for the origin of the cross, citizens of the area also recovered information about the battle of Flavigny and erected the Flavigny memorial. The plaque was installed in 1998. - This information was graciously provided by Paula Baker
