PFC Marvin R. Herrman

PFC Marvin R. Herrman was born 25 Apr 1919 in Baltimore, Maryland to Frank and Sue E (Davis) Herrman.  His father was a "bolter" in a shipyard and a house painter. In 1940 Marvin was working as an aircraft mechanic. 

Marvin was drafted in March 1943.  Sent overseas, he was assigned to I Company 116th Infantry prior to D-Day and participated in the amphibious assault on "fortress Europe". PFC Herrman was wounded on 17 Jun 1944 and evacuated to hospital where he died of his wounds on 18 Jun 1944. 

PFC Herrman was repatriated in 1948 and is buried in Baltimore National Cemetery

Although Marvin is noted on his enlistment record as being married we have not found any further information about his wife.
