More information

Pvt Delmont T. Rogers attended grammar school, was employed by the Berkeley Woolen Company and was single, without dependents.
He entered the Service from Clarksburg, West Virginia on 11 May 1943 as a Private.

On the 21st of September, the 1st Battalion continued with the mission of clearing Stolberg. One platoon of Company I, 16th Infantry, was pulled back to the vicinity of the 2nd Battalion Command post in Eilendorf. Many pockets of resistance in Stolberg were cleared, but the fortified houses caused considerable trouble. All three battalions were in need of rest, hot food, and warm clothing. Combat efficiency was greatly reduced due to the large number of casualties, exposure, and the extended period of immediate contact with the enemy. It was during this day that Pvt Rogers was killed.
