George Pedrero

Pvt George Pedrero was killed in action on 12 June 1944, serving with Company A, 104th Medical Battalion. On 12 June 1944, the 104th Medical Battalion was operating in the vicinity of Le Carrefour as the division pressed forward through the fighting around St. Clair-sur-l'Elle, Le Menil, and a river crossing near St. Jean-de-Savigny. Battalion records from this period describe casualties being evacuated during these operations, though the exact dates of individual evacuations within this window were not specified in the after-action reports. It was in this stretch of the Normandy campaign, amid sustained combat and movement across difficult terrain, that the battalion's aid stations and collecting companies would have been called upon to bring the wounded back from the front lines. Pvt Pedrero was killed in action that day; the report does not specify the individual circumstances.
