If you go to this link you will have the official website citation for your relative with a photograph of the MARGRATEN Cemetery. (Good job, Louis and Charlie!)
http://abmc.gov/detailww.asphttp://abmc.gov/detailww.asp
Of particular interest to you may be the fact that the position of his grave is easily identified in the photo on the ABMC site.
As a means of reference, look at the citation and note the capital letter E in the word "Entered".If you use the upper left corner of the letter E as an arrow-head pointer you will notice that it points directly at a narrow pathway between two grave plots--if the edge of the photo is 12 and 6 o'clock, the narrow pathway runs off at about 10 o'clock.If you proceed up this narrow pathway the plot on your left is Plot G and the Plot on your right is Plot H.
You will then reach an intersection of two paths with Plots at all four corners--you will also be standing in the shadow of a tree that casts a shadow at the intersection of the two paths.The tree casting the shadow is directly in front of Row 1 of Plot L.Based on my observation of this plot--two paratroopers in my own research are buried on Row 1 of Plot L and Row 1 ofPlot K--your relatives grave marker is precisely where the trunk of the tree appears to touch the leaves of the tree--Plot L Row 5 Grave 14.
I hope this helps you in knowing the location of Trooper "Miles" final resting place.
