More information
Pfc Paul D. "Dale" Reno entered the service March 19, 1944 and went overseas in May 1944. He was a member of the 1942 graduating class of the Civil Bend High School. During his high school work he was active and a leader of the musical activities of the school. He was noted for his beautiful bass voice. He was killed during the Battle of the Bulge."Eight thousand crosses row on row,
Eight thousand tiny drifts of snow.
Eight thousand memories multiplied
By all that knew the brave who died."
(from a poem L. Dean Reno wrote to commemorate the Henri-Chapelle Cemetery in memory of his brother Dale who is buried there. The whole poem is published in the book "A Missouri Boy Growing Up in the County".)
