Remarks	The 331st Casualty Report (page 3, #75) for 1944 lists Pvt. Wilson as member of E Co. The casualty listing contains a different serial though, it reads 32669909 instead of 32669009 which is probably an error. The morning reports confirm this. Private Wilson was a member of E Company. The morning report for July 11, 1944 on page 13 lists him joining the unit from the 92nd Replacement Battalion on Jul 8, 1944. The morning report for August 17, 1944 on page 24 him as missing in action on July 17, 1944. The morning report for November 5, 1944 on page 5 corrects this last entry to being KIA on July 17, 1944. The pages can be seen below.
