The Story
Pfc David Jones was killed in action on 09 June 1944, serving with Company C, 1st Battalion, 115th Infantry Regiment. On this date, the 1st Battalion, 115th Infantry, was holding a defensive line in the vicinity of Bricqueville, a position it had maintained since the previous day. The battalion was reported to be under nearly continuous attack from German forces operating near Trevieres, tasked with covering the regiment's left rear during this period. Company-level details for this specific day are not separately recorded, but the battalion as a whole was engaged in this defensive stand. Pfc Jones was killed in action that day; the report does not specify the individual circumstances.
