TSGT William C. Black is one of those men about whom we know very little. He was born in 1922 in Ohio and was drafted in February 1941 while residing in Jackson, Ohio. Assigned from the replacement depot to I Company 116th Infantry on 29 Oct 1944 as a SSG, William was promoted to TSGT on 3 Dec 1944 at which time he became a platoon sergeant. He was wounded by artillery fire sometime in December 1944 but quickly returned to his unit. Wounded again on 1 Mar 1945, TSGT Black was evacuated to hospital where he died of his wound(s) on 11 Mar 1945. He was awarded the Bronze Star but we do not know for what action this award was made.

This was a good soldier, somebody's son, maybe a husband and father. He should be remembered. If you can help us we hope you will.
