SGT Frank Eugene Carnrike was born 9 Jan 1916 in Corry, Pennsylvania to John Henry and Velma (Wilson) Carnrike. His father was a dairy farmer, and worked in a furniture plant.
When Frank was drafted in September 1942 he was apparently working in some sort of metal fabrication. Assigned to B Company 116th Infantry he trained for the amphibious assault that was to take place. On 5 Jun 1944 he was promoted from CPL to SGT. On D-Day, 6 Jun 1944, SGT Carnrike was killed in action during the amphibious assault.
SGT Carnrike was repatriated in 1948 and buried with his parents in Pine Grove Cemetery in Corry, Pennsylvania.
