James T Gribble

Pfc James Gribble was killed in action on 13 June 1944, serving with Company I, 3rd Battalion, 175th Infantry Regiment. On 13 June 1944, the 175th Infantry Regiment was operating in the vicinity of Lison as part of the ongoing push through Normandy following the invasion. During this period, at approximately 1205 hours, the Regimental Commander, Colonel Good, went missing near Montmartin-en-Graignes amid a withdrawal action involving Company G, and he was thereafter listed as missing in action, believed wounded or killed. The regiment continued its operations in the days that followed, with command passing to Lt. Col. George at some point before June 17th, though the exact timing of that transition was not precisely recorded. Pfc Gribble was killed in action that day; the report does not specify the individual circumstances.
