When he was drafted in March 1943, Quinton was working in a foundry. After his initial training he was sent to England and assigned to A Company 116th Infantry. Despite heavy losses in A Company on D-Day PVT Ogle was not promoted until he was promoted to SGT on 13 Sep 1944. It is possible that he was not assigned to A Company on D-Day. SGT Ogle was killed in action on 30 Sep 1944.
SGT Ogle was repatriated and re-interred in Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood, California near his father and a brother.
Great-grandfather Armistead H. Beler served as a PVT in 6th Battalion Mississippi Cavalry during the Civil War.
