Individual Deceased Personnel File (IDPF) for Wallace J. Horton of the 119th Co. A. was killed in action in the village of Fouron le Comte between 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM. He was killed by a 20mm maching gun that stood at the crossroads of Fouron le Comte. Co. A was the first American troops to enter the town. Horton was 19 years old and came for Clifton Forge, VA.

This UNBELIEVABLE photo is of the commemoration of the liberation of Fouron le comte on the spot where Wallace was killed one year ago .Picture was taken in 1946. Wallace was killed between the 2 wooden barracks. It shows the exact spot with two little Belgian girls laying a wreath on the location.

The original cross of the 1st anniversary of Wallace's death . This cross was given to me (Vincent Heggen) by a citizen of my town . The inscription is in French and means: In honor of a GI fallen for our Freedom. September 12, 1944.

The Story of Wallace's death:
This comes from the testimony of Maria Kurvers-Habets of Fouron le Comte;

“September 11 at the evening, German sleeps in our workshop on straw. We were very afraid.

They are irritated because they know that Americans are not far. Indeed, they are in Warsage. Worms 23 hours 30, German leave our house very quickly. The remainder of the night is calm.

September 12 in the morning, the Germans draw in all the directions and run. A few moments later, the American strike with our door. One of the GI speaks French

Unfortunately, the Germans are always present, in ambush behind an electric cabin with 200 meters of our house. They open fire with a gun of 20 millimetres and machine-guns.

Other GI coming from Berneau are also the target of these German to the vault Sainte Anne. The brawl will last two hours.

When we leave our cellar, we see a US aircraft. It was a grasshopper piper cub typ L4. This plane was supplied in fields close to the castle of Altembroek where remained by after the Colonel Edwin and later the General Leland Hobbs.

The Germans flee towards the village. The Americans return in our kitchen with a casualty who suffers atrociously. He will be evacuated.

Another GI died outside, opposite our house. This soldier was at the time unknown for people of the village, later he was identified by the resistance of the area.

Wallace Horton grave today. SPECIAL THANKS to Vincent Heggen of Fouron le Comte for information and especially the photos.
