Emile LESOIR, born in Morialmé (Belgium) on 14.04.1931
(according to the entries in „Remarks“ of this card and in his DP 2 card)
I entered these data in the corresponding first (main) fields.
When reaching the US army he claimed to be „Australian“
„Gene Yiiui“ and DOB „31.07.1931“ probably were also made up.
I entered these in the correspondig additional (+) fields.
his father (in a/m. CM/1)
Could this be him?
Aimé LESOIR, born in Morialmé, Namur on 11.05.1903.

@velthove1, maybe you can find out more? I’m not sure if my ideas are correct…
Hi @routebleue . The CM/1 form refers to a Gene YIIUI . Could you pls check ?
Sorry, @velthove1, where in his CM/1 form did you find a reference to „Gene YIIUI“ ?
I assume that „Gene YIIUI“ is a fake name made up by the boy,
(see my comment above)
I only found it in this DP3 card, along with the entry in „Remarks“:
„Now his name is Lesoir Emile, 14.04.1931, Belgian, 22.5.48“ (probably the date of this subsequent entry)
Quote from his CM/1 form (with typos):
„Emile Lesoir left Belgium in 1944
have one brother one sister
my father live in 14 rue […? Morialmé ?]
I have ben claiming to be australian
is fause (false ?)
Möchte zurück nach Belgien zum seinem Vater.“ [end of quote]
(= would like to go back to his father.)
(All these tangled fates… a 14-year-old-boy, stranded alone in Germany at the end of WWII, like so many other children…)
Hi @routebleue , I didn’t check your contribution carefully. Sorry for that.
About Emile, i could only find this additional info which confirms your findings.

The Aimé Lesoir that you found is most probably the father of Emile. ( Addresses mathing. i assume it should read „Rue Donveau 14“.)
