Roy A Young

Pvt Roy Young was killed in action on 30 June 1944, serving with Company A, 1st Battalion, 115th Infantry Regiment. On 30 June 1944, the 1st Battalion, 115th Infantry moved into positions near La Forge that had been held by the 36th Infantry of the 3rd Armored Division, taking over the ground as those armored infantry units withdrew back through the battalion's lines. This kind of relief-in-place put the battalion into a defensive posture along a front recently vacated by another division, though the surviving records do not detail the specific actions of individual companies within the battalion that day. Pvt Young was killed in action that day; the report does not specify the individual circumstances.
