The Story

T Sgt Joseph Taylor was killed in action on 14 June 1944, serving with HQ Company, 3rd Battalion, 115th Infantry Regiment. On 14 June 1944, the 115th Infantry's Regimental Troops remained in division reserve, a position the unit had already settled into and would continue to hold for the next two days. No movement or change in disposition was recorded for this date, as the regiment's after-action report notes the reserve position was maintained until the afternoon of 16 June. The day thus passed without significant incident for the regiment as a whole, as it held ready in support of the division's ongoing operations in Normandy. T Sgt Taylor was killed in action that day; the report does not specify the individual circumstances.
