Incident

Location: North Carolina Incident Date: Tuesday, March 9, 1943

Private First Class Bernard Schindler succumbed to injuries sustained the previous day when his military police motorcycle overturned on Reilly Road near Smoke Bomb Hill at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

He was rushed to the base hospital where he succumbed to his injuries early the next morning. It is believed that Private Schindler lost control of his motorcycle on wet pavement due to rain showers the previous couple of days.

Private First Class Schindler's body was shipped to his hometown of Harper, Kansas for burial at the Crystal Springs Mennonite Cemetery.

Bernard, On today, the 81st anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
