Additional information
Private Hillyer was a member of B Company. The morning report for August 5, 1944 on page 6 lists him as lightly wounded in action on July 22, 1944 and transferred to unknown evacuation hospital. Page 6 can be seen here as well. We note that July 22, 1944 does not match the date ABMC has registered so there is probably a later morning report correcting this entry.
