From the book "Unfinished Journey" by Kerry P. Redmann, Pfc Redmann's brother: During a lull in a German artillery barrage, only minutes prior to being killed, Morris helped take casualties from the woods to the road for evacuation. To quote his commanding officer, Lieutenant Charles P. Macke, in a letter to Morris' Mother: "after helping the wounded out, Morris returned and again the Germans started shelling and it was at this time that he was killed and as Fate would have it, in the same hole that he had just helped one of his wounded buddies out of. There are no words of praise that I might use that I should consider praiseworthy of his act, so I shall not try."
Morris was killed by a German 88 mm artillery shell. A piece of shrapnel entered his back and hit his heart, and another piece of shrapnel entered the spinal column of his neck.

It was during this action in Tettingen and Butzdorf, in the vicinity of a wooded area known by the 376th as Monkey Wrench Woods, that Morris B. Redman, Jr. was killed.
