ARMY - ACTIVE DUTY
COMBAT INFANTRYMAN - ACTIVE DUTY
EDUCATION/TRAINING: Bill's initial entry into the Army was to attend an IRTC (Infantry Replacement Training Center). The training was probably centered on the eventual June 1944 invasion of mainland Europe.
ASSIGNMENTS: Sergeant Andre was Killed in Action (KIA) after surviving the initial invasion of Europe at Normandy. The Allies were pushing the Germans back into their homeland, when they made a massive counterattack on the French-German border. This massive counter attack is called "The Battle of the Bulge" in military history. It was during this time, December 1944 and January 1945, that Europe incurred its coldest winter in the previous one hundred years and the casualties were exacerbated because of the cold. Bill was one of those casualties.
MAJOR AWARDS/DECORATIONS: The only known award is The Purple Heart awarded to all casualties, whether KIA or wounded. Bill could not have been over twenty one years of age.
