More information

Pvt Charles W. Sullivan was first buried at the Temporary American Military Cemetery of Solers, France.

Note: His gravestone and the ABMC database state that his regiment was part of the 82nd Airborne Division. However, this is a mistake. The 507th was only attached to the 82nd for the period from 14 June 1944, to 27 August 1944, but was never assigned to the Division and was therefore never an organic part of it.
