The Story

Sgt Pierre Robinson was killed in action on 07 June 1944, serving with Company I, 3rd Battalion, 115th Infantry Regiment. On this day, the 3rd Battalion, 115th Infantry had moved up to the outskirts of St. Laurent-sur-Mer overnight and launched an attack at daybreak, securing the town by mid-morning. The battalion then pushed onward toward Louvieres but was held up in front of that town, meeting resistance that halted its advance. Specific actions of this company within that day's fighting were not separately recorded, but this was the broader situation the battalion faced on 7 June 1944. Sgt Robinson was killed in action that day; the report does not specify the individual circumstances.
