Lacoma #31416084 (spelled his last name with a c) was wounded at Normandy on July 14, spent 3 months in the hospital, rejoined his unit, and was killed Dec,2,1944 in Belgium. He was part of the 8th. Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division, Company C. He is buried in the Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery. I believe he was killed in the Hurtgen Forest. I wish I could find more information about him but haven't had much luck. Any information about the battle in the Hurtgen Forest would be appreciated. My uncle Pvt. John J.
