Additional information
A Pfc. Walter Milby is listed in the memoirs of Capt. Harry C. Gravelyn, Co. D, 331st as being a member of the 1st.Platoon MG in July 1944.

The 331st Casualty Report (page 3, #90) for 1944 lists Pfc. Milby as member of D Co. This document also notes Milby, Walter NMI but with the correct ASN therefor the author of this website assumes that the Milby from Capt. Gravelyn's memoirs and this Milby are the same.
