The Story
Pfc Adrian Holt was killed in action on 17 June 1944, serving with Company B, 1st Battalion, 116th Infantry Regiment. On this date, the 116th Infantry, as part of the larger division effort, resumed its attack at 0400 hours, advancing on the left of the division line with supporting attachments. By the close of the day, the regiment had secured its designated objectives before dark. Records at this level do not break the action down to individual companies or detachments, so this account reflects the regiment's broader movements rather than the specific activities of any one element within it. Pfc Holt was killed in action that day; the report does not specify the individual circumstances.
