STORY

The Carthage, N.C., native enlisted in the Navy, where he became a lieutenant and was on active duty two months after his graduation.

He spent five months at the naval training school at Harvard University followed by the naval training school at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He married Elizabeth Anne Maloney of Springfield, Mass., and they had a son.

By February 1944, he had landed overseas and, that summer, was part of the U.S. forces’ movement southwest of out Normandy into Brittany.

His job was to eliminate German radar dispersed along the French coast used in tracking English aircraft.

As he was driving his Jeep on one of those missions, he hit a German mine and died in August.
