PVT Junior Graves was likely born in Kentucky.  We know that a Charles Graves was the next of kin (but not the relationship).  Junior was assigned to H Company 116th Infantry.  Initially reported as missing in action on 9 Jun 1944 when the units were sorting out their D-Day losses, he was later found to have been killed in action on 6 Jun 1944.

PVT Graves is buried in the Normandy American Cemetery.
