He attended <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Citadel,_The_Military_College_of_South_Carolina" target="_blank"><span>The Citadel</span></a> before being inducted into the Army on June 10, 1943. He served in G Company, 71st Infantry Regiment, 44th Infantry Division. He was killed in action on January 4, 1945 in eastern France (probably in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bas-Rhin" target="_blank"><span>Bas-Rhin</span></a> based on his regiment's position at the time). He was 20 years old. According to family history, he studied French at The Citadel and served as an interpreter. He was killed, we believe, by friendly fire when the convoy he was traveling in was mistakenly targeted in an American air attack.https://jeparleamericain.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/bubble.jpgbubblehttps://jeparleamericain.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/grapevine.jpggrapevinea grapevine at my parents' home after an
