The view from the window of the coaches cottage swept downhill to steep rocky cliffs that enclosed the emerald blue Pacific Ocean. "Ted Treharne was declared Missing in Action during the Battle of the Bulge? Was his body eventually recovered?" Caydance asked her brother.

arrow "His body was never found. Probably his name is engraved on a Wall of the Missing at the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten or in Belgium at the Ardennes American Cemetery."

"But why is there a painting of Utah Beach -- a painting that a retired University Archivist thinks is by Treharne himself-- hanging on the wall of the studio/workshop?

"On June 6, 1944, D-Day, Utah Beach was the site of an initial US Infantry Division landing," Jack replied. "That was only the beginning of the six month Allied march across occupied France and Belgium that culminated in the deaths of many soldiers at the Battle of the Bulge. At night, bivouacked on battlefields, painting an accurate vision of what Utah Beach would look in the future is not likely. But if that did happen, a comrade could have taken that painting home, clandestinely entered Captain Treharne's studio, and hung up that painting as a memory."
