Andrew T Wagner

Pfc Andrew Wagner was killed in action on 17 June 1944, serving with Company C, 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry Regiment. On 17 June 1944, the 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry held its position along the main line of resistance near La Vacquerie, continuing the pattern of active patrolling that characterized its operations through the latter half of June. No specific incident was recorded for this date, but the battalion remained engaged in the watchful, small-scale actions typical of holding a defensive line in Normandy during this period. Companies under its command would have shared in this steady, day-to-day vigilance as part of the broader battalion effort. Pfc Wagner was killed in action that day; the report does not specify the individual circumstances.
