John J Carr

Pvt John Carr was killed in action on 17 June 1944, serving with Company C, 1st Battalion, 115th Infantry Regiment. On the night of 16–17 June 1944, the 1st Battalion, 115th Infantry moved north through St. Clair toward Les Foulons, encountering only light opposition along the way, and by morning had settled into a position roughly 200 yards east of the town, holding there through the early hours. That afternoon the battalion shifted southeast toward Couvains before turning west into the Bois de Bretel, where it was committed south of the woods and ran into stiff enemy resistance. Unable to push the advance further that day, the men dug in and held a defensive line through the night, awaiting the next push. These movements reflect the battalion's broader actions that day, and the specific experience of this company within it is not separately documented. Pvt Carr was killed in action that day; the report does not specify the individual circumstances.
