John H Gantner

Pvt John Gantner was killed in action on 18 June 1944, serving with Company A, 1st Battalion, 115th Infantry Regiment. On 18 June 1944, the 115th Infantry's regimental troops remained in position in the Bois de Bretel, with no further movement recorded for the day. The unit's location carried forward from the previous day's positions, as operations during this period were tied to the timing noted under the "180400B" date-time group referenced in the 17 June record. The regiment held its ground in the wooded area as part of the broader Normandy campaign then underway. Pvt Gantner was killed in action that day; the report does not specify the individual circumstances.
