From the 79th Infantry Division website:

An unusual burial site for an American lieutenant. 1st Lieutenant Paul Druaux died in combat at Arthies-en-Vexin on August 29, 1944, along with five of his comrades from the 315th US Regiment, from Nebelwerfer rocket fire. When the US cemetery at Saint-André-le-l'Eure was closed, his widow ensured he remained in France, as they were originally from Louisiana, and thus purchased a plot in the local cemetery. He along with the following soldiers were buried in this cemetery:

 GANT Ul., Pfc;

RANDOLPH William, Pfc.
NAVARO Eli,Pfc
SCHUCKERS Paul A., Sgt.
WILLS William E., 2nd Lt
