231594 S/Sgt. John Joseph Henry United States Army Company H 41st Infantry Rehiment from:Bronx, NY (d.6th Aug 1944) My Uncle Johnny J. Henry was attached to 41st Inf, 2nd Armed Div., company H. He was killed in action, from what I have read in battle taking place in Mortain, Vire, Flers, Domfront and leading to the eventual closing of Falaise gap. An obituary from the Long Island Press from Oct 1941 contained information on Johnny's death. It stated he was killed in action in France on August 6, 1944 and that he had been wounded earlier during the invasion of Sicily. In the Army 4 years he went overseas two years ago shortly after his marriage to the former Helen V. Hasper of Jamaica. Two of his brothers were in the Army, William in France and Christopher in Hawaii. Sergeant was his rank and was attached to an armored division and had been recommended for the Silver Star. He was in the textile business prior to his induction. He was a graduate of All Saints Parochial School and Washington Irving School, both in Manhattan.
