| STORY | |||||||
| He was killed in six days of bitter fighting in blinding rain and bitter cold when the 100th Division entered the line for the first time in the Vosges Mountains. Attacking SW out of the town of Baccarat their objective was to break the German entrenched positions along 1,200 to 1,500 foot high ridges covered with dense forest. By 18 Nov 44 they had outflanked the town of Raon l'Etape and broke the German winter lines in this sector which was intended by the Germans to hold out until April of 1945. |

Sgt John D. Baud's father was born in France and his mother in Italy. He spoke with a slight French accent, his family was originally from Marseille, France. While in France during the war on the day he had his pass, he went to visit his family there. They, unfortunately, did not know that he would be knocking on their door, and they were not at home. Unfortunately, that was the only chancehe had to call on them, because just one pass was issued to each soldier while they were there. He was deeply disappointed. On 14 November 1944 L Company was attacking German positions outside St. Remy, France when artillery and mortar fire came in. One piece of shrapnel struck Sgt. Baud in the back of the neck just below his helmet and was killed almost instantly. He was the first soldier from L company to be killed. Source : MAJ Jimmy Cotton Findagrave.com | |||||||
