Coleman Miesner

Cpl Coleman Miesner was killed in action on 11 June 1944, serving with Cannon Company, 115th Infantry Regiment. On 11 June 1944, the 115th Infantry Regiment continued to hold its positions along the Elle River defensive line, with conditions largely unchanged from the previous day. Patrols sent out by the regiment attempted to push across the river but were turned back by heavy enemy fire coming from the far bank. The situation along this stretch of the front remained tense and static, as the regiment worked to maintain its line while probing for any opportunity to advance. Cpl Miesner was killed in action that day; the report does not specify the individual circumstances.
