PFC. Wallace Siarkowski
The sad story of Wallace Siarkowski. Wallace was also a member of the Task Force, as a private first class in the 33rd Armored Regiment of the 3rd Armored Division. He too experienced the encirclement of Marcouray and unfortunately lost his life there.
As he was a Christian, his comrades hastily buried him behind the church of Marcouray on December 22, 1944, two days before Christmas. When the village was finally liberated, his remains were exhumed and reburied in the provisional cemetery at Foy (near Bastogne). His final resting place is at the Henri-Chapelle military cemetery.
Wallace coached a bowling team in New York (far right in the last photo) and was killed in action at age 19 in the small village of Marcouray, Belgium.
