The date of his assignment to the 22nd Infantry is unknown but he was serving as a Private with Company B 22nd Infantry at least by October 1941 as he is in a Company photo taken at Fort Benning, Georgia during that time frame. Technician Grade 5 Thomson was killed in action in France during the attack against the Quineville Ridge on June 14, 1944. Arthur S. Thomson was buried in the temporary U.S. Military Cemetery Sainte Mere-Eglise #2 and was moved to the permanent cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, most likely in 1948 when the temporary cemeteries were shut down. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
