Remarks Private First Class Ivanac was a member of A Company. The morning report for August 9, 1944 on page 12 shows him severely wounded in action on August 8, 1944 and evacuated to the 108th Evacuation Hospital. Page 15 in the same morning report changes his status to died of wounds on August 10, 1944 which actually conflicts with the date registered with ABMC. Both pages can be seen below.

General Order 23 lists his commendation for a Purple Heart for wounds received in action on July 26, 1944.
