More information
Pvt Isaac M. Rosenberg attended 2 years of college before he joined the Regular Army in Clemson, South Carolina on 8 October 1942.The company commander, Capt. S. L. Skow, witnessed what happened:
"Before crossing the Saar river, the company was located in the vicinity of Fremersdorf, Germany. The area occupied by the company was completely dominated by enemy observation and shelled constantly. Due to the swollen condition of the river at the time and heavy enemy action, the company was forced to remain in this defensive position for many days. The intense enemy artillery fire caused many casualties. It was during this action, that a shell exploded close to the foxhole Isaac occupied. A piece of shrapnel penetrated his neck, causing his death instantly."
He was first buried at the Temporary American Military Cemetery in Limey, France.
