The Story
S/Sgt Raymond Flynn was killed in action on 09 June 1944, serving with Company F, 2nd Battalion, 175th Infantry Regiment. On 9 June 1944, the 2nd Battalion moved as part of the 175th Infantry's regimental column advancing toward Lison, taking up the rearmost position in the line of march behind the 3rd Battalion, Regimental Headquarters Company, and the 1st Battalion. The column's progress that day brought the regiment into the vicinity of La Potelaie by day's end. As no separate company-level record survives for this date, this account reflects the battalion's movements as a whole rather than the specific actions of any single company within it. S/Sgt Flynn was killed in action that day; the report does not specify the individual circumstances.
