  • [S1825] Alicia M. Flicklinger (Government Information Specialist), "Individual Deceased Personnel File (IDPF) for Vaud L. Gott - 39054732," Freedom of Information Office, Department of the Army, US Army Resources Command, Fort Knox, Kentucky, 19 Oct 2017 (transmittal letter to Carl Fields, with 53-page enclosure containing digital images of personnel file, all downloaded from a temporary US government web as pdf of page images). The pdf version received by Fields from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was later converted to jpg digital images.

    The following paragraphs summarize information primarily from the IDPF (with some information added from two other sources identified at the end of the summary).
    Information in the IDPF identified his widow as Mrs Mattie Eunice Gott, residing at 110 First Street, Coalinga, California (as of 15 Oct 1945). Children: "Paul Eugene & Elizabeth Di Ann Gott"

    At the time of his death, he was a private, serving in Battery B, 402nd Field Artillery Battalion, 42nd, Division. This unit was among Allied occupation forces in Austria.
    His death was due to accidental gunshot wound, in line of duty, not due to his own misconduct, and an autopsy was performed. An investigation was also performed. No additional details or documentation of the results of the investigation or the autopsy are in the file.

    He was injured at "Kefstein" Austria at 1630 on 30 June 1945. He died at the "112th Evac. Hosp.", Winkl Germany, on 1 July 1945. Cause of death was listed as G. S. W (gunshot wound) with the bullet "Perf. W. Skull," which likely means the bullet perforated (the width? of) the skull. "Kefstein" should probably really be "Kufstein". The 42nd Division history indicates that on 12 June 1945 the territory for which the division was responsible for occupation was altered to include the Kufstein region (one of several adjustments in which army divisions were responsible for occupying various portions of Austria and Southern Germany during May and June 1945).

    He was initially buried in the U. S. Military Cemetery, Reutti, Germany (Coordinates: "X-733-764), at Grave 915, Row 5, Plot Number G, with a cross marker, on 3 July 1945.

    His remains were reburied on 25 September 1945 in St. Avold, France (Coordinates: 0-260-584), Grave number 3017, Row Number 17, Plot V, with the grave again marked with a cross. It is likely that the entire Reutti Cemetery (or a significant portion of it) was relocated at this time because the same two sets of remains were interred to Gott's right and left in St. Avold as had been alongside his remains in Reutti. St. Avold Cemetery was described as being 23 miles east of Metz France.

    On November 10, 1947, Mrs Mattie E. Gott relinquished her rights to direct the final disposition of the remains of her late husband to Sarah E. Theis, his mother. Mattie Gott's address on that date was listed as 168 Whittaker Way, Dinuba, California. Sarah Theis's address was listed as P. O. Box 765, Shafter, California. Mrs Gott did this by filling out a portion of "OQMG Form 345 Military," "Request for Disposition of Remains," dated 13 October, 1947, which had been mailed to her. She also indicated on this form that the remains were to be returned to the US for burial in a private cemetery (in this case, "private" means a cemetery other than a National Cemetery).

    A second version of this form was completed by Sarah E. Theis and was signed by her on 21 Jan 1948. That form gave the same Shafter California address as the earlier form (with the additional information that she resided in Kern County, California). This second version requested the same option as the first one: that the remains be returned to the US for burial in a private cemetery. This later form provided the additional information that the next person in line for determining the disposition of remains was Vaud Gott's brother, Doil W. Gott, whose address was listed as 1217 Olive Avenue, Sanger, California. The form also identified the Cain & Creager Funeral Home in Sanger California as the location to which the remains should be delivered.

    His remains were disinterred in France on 26 Aug 1948. At that time, a few notations were made about their condition, including that they were skeletal, there was a fractured skull, and that a cranial autopsy had been performed. They also noted that two bones of the lower left arm were missing. The remains were casketed (for the first time) on 1 Sept 1948. The other burials had been only in military clothing -- or perhaps also an improvised shroud (such as a mattress cover).

    The casket was shipped from USMC (probably, US Military Cemetery), St Avold, by rail to what appears to be a "casketing point" in Antwerp Belgium on 11 Oct 1948. It was then transferred from the AGRC (probably something like Army Graves Registration Center), Antwerp Belgium, to USAT Barney Kirschbaum, apparently on 27 Dec 1948. USAT is probably US Army Transport (ship).

    His remains were received by a representative of the funeral home at the Fresno California rail station on 4 Feb 1949.

    Date of burial is the US is unknown, but was probably early Feb 1949.

    Government-suppled bronze marker shipped to cemetery on or around 20 June 1949.
    His personal effects at the time of this death (per an inventory form dated 3 July 1945) were listed as:

    1 Wrist Watch ("Menter" - probably a brand name), 7 jewel, shockproof

    1 Cigarette Lighter

    1 Automatic Pencil

    2 Fountain Pens

    1 Billfold (contents not itemized)

    Money in the amount of "30 ½ Marks" (above the space on the form); "60 Austrian Shillings" (below the space on the form).


    A brief internet search indicated Austria's "normal currency" for most years of the twentieth century and early 21st century was (and is) the Schilling. The primary exception to the use of the Schilling was the period between 1938 and 1945, when it had been annexed by (Nazi) Germany. During that time the German currency (Reich mark) was in use. It appears the Schilling returned to use during the Allied occupation, starting (sometime) in 1945. However, it is not clear that Schilling currency had actually been issued at the time of Gott's death in on 1 July 1945. This entry (listing both Marks and Schillings) possibly means that he had in his possession 30.5 Reich marks, which were assigned the value of 60 (perhaps-not-yet-issued-as-currency) Schillings. It could be the US government (i.e., the US Army) was reluctant to "accept" Nazi Germany's Reich Marks in exchange for US dollars. It may have been more politically correct to convert the Reich Marks to the equivalent value of Schillings (possibly via pro forma bookkeeping), which were then exchanged to US dollars. The US-dollar equivalent of the currency was returned to his widow as $9.08.

    A handwritten letter from his widow, dated 22 April 1946, indicated his mother had received his billfold, but (as of that date) his other belongings had not been returned to the US. A later letter from the army (dated 3 May 1946), said that army records indicated the package containing the billfold, had also contained a mechanical pencil and two fountain pens. The wrist watch and the cigarette lighter seem to have been recorded as missing (listed as "shortages" items) in a shipping document dated 31 Oct 1945. They were likely lost or stolen.

    Two additional documents were consulted in preparing the summary narrative listed above.

Daley, 42nd Infantry Division: A Combat History of World War II, 1946, Army and Navy Publishing Company, Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Internet Archive, digital images, (https://archive.org/details/… : accessed 1 Nov 2018). It appears digital-image "copies" of this volume (a book) were located at several different web sites in October and November 2107, although perhaps in several slightly different (variant) forms. For example, the pdf version at the Ike Skelton Combined Arms Research Library (CARL) (http://cgsc.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/… : accessed 1 Nov 2017) seems to have omitted certain front matter and is divided into two separate files (the 1945 occupation mission in Austria is covered in the second of the two files).

    The Daley book is a largely pictorial unit history. The pages of this book are apparently not numbered. However, approximately page 150 (Image 150 of at the pdf digital version from the Internet Archive) indicates the division took over occupation of the Kufstein region (among other regions) on June 12. This was one of several repositioning adjustments among the various occupation forces in Austria and Southern Germany. The same page indicates that on May 23rd, the division began a training program in preparation for redeployment to the Pacific Theater, with the training focusing on countering Japanese Army tactics.

    The Daley book is a largely pictorial unit history. The pages of this book are apparently not numbered. However, approximately page 150 (Image 150 of at the pdf digital version from the Internet Archive) indicates the division took over occupation of the Kufstein region (among other regions) on June 12. This was one of several repositioning adjustments among the various occupation forces in Austria and Southern Germany. The same page indicates that on May 23rd, the division began a training program in preparation for redeployment to the Pacific Theater, with the training focusing on countering Japanese Army tactics.
