The Story
Pfc Tommy McKeehan was killed in action on 10 June 1944, serving with Company L, 3rd Battalion, 115th Infantry Regiment. On 10 June 1944, the 3rd Battalion of the 115th Infantry remained positioned south of Colombières, continuing to hold the defensive line it had established in the days prior. No significant movement was recorded for the battalion on this date, suggesting a period of consolidation as the unit maintained its ground in the Normandy hedgerow country. Companies within the battalion would have shared in this general posture, though no specific actions for individual units were noted in the surviving records for the day. Pfc McKeehan was killed in action that day; the report does not specify the individual circumstances.
