Killebrew

Pvt Killebrew was killed in action on 28 June 1944, serving with Company G, 2nd Battalion, 116th Infantry Regiment. On 28 June 1944, the 116th Infantry Regiment held its assigned positions along the line, continuing an active defense rather than pressing a new advance. Records at the division level indicate that patrols were sent out through the day to probe enemy positions and maintain contact with opposing forces, though specific actions by individual companies within Regimental Troops are not separately documented. The men of Regimental Troops would have shared in these general duties of holding the line and supporting patrol activity during this period. Pvt Killebrew was killed in action that day; the report does not specify the individual circumstances.
