PFC Adrian M. Holt

PFC Adrian M. Holt was born 30 May 1924 in Maryland the son of Inez (Abigill) Holt.  His father, name unknown to us, apparently left the family shortly after his birth.  His mother remarried and his step-father, Glenn Forrest Anderson, was a carpenter. 

Adrian had only completed 2 years of high school when he was drafted in April 1943.  He was sent to England and assigned to B Company 116th Infantry.  He trained with that unit for the amphibious assault on the French beaches and made the assault with that unit.  PFC Holt was killed in action on 17 Jun 1944.


PFC Holt is buried in Baltimore National Cemetery in Baltimore, Maryland. Adrian's uncle, PFC Melvin L. Abigill, was died of a non-battle related injury in Italy in 1945 and is also buried in the Baltimore National Cemetery.
