Edward was working in textile manufacture when he was drafted in June 1943. After his basic training he was sent to England and assigned to G Company 116th Infantry. He was likely assigned to the unit not very long before the D-Day amphibious assault that took place on 6 Jun 1944. He wasn't wounded that day but was wounded on 17 Jun 1944 and evacuated to hospital. Edward did not return to the unit until he was transferred from the replacement depot on 16 Feb 1945! PVT Konefal was killed in action on 1 Mar 1945.
PVT Konefal is buried in the Netherlands American Cemetery.
