Private First Class Louis Albergucci, ASN 37725773, born in 1921, was the son of Emilio L. and Marie Albergucci from Girard, Crawford County, Kansas. Girard is in far southeastern Kansas 40 miles north northwest of Joplin, Missouri. His brother Edward was his next of kin so he may have been divorced. He left a son Louis (see pic in replies).

In the 1930 census 9 year old Louie is living with his parents and three older siblings, Edward 25, Arthur 19, and Julia 13, in rural Washington, Crawford County, Kansas. His parents and Edward were born in Italy. His father and two older brothers are coal miners.

Louie enlisted at Ft Leavenworth, Kansas on 3 Nov 1943. Hed had a grammar school education and his occupation was listed as general farm hand. He was married.
From History of the 330th Infantry Regiment: BRITTANY After the now famous breakthrough, we spent a short rest period in the vicinity of Marigny, and on the 3rd of August we moved by motor into Brittany, through Granville and Avranches, seeing towns for the first time that had escaped the total destruction of the villages around the beachhead. We arrived at Dol after a quick motor move; advances that took weeks to make in Normandy were made now in a few hours. Then while the remainder of the division made its history-making attack on St Malo, came our feint with the river crossing at Vicomte sur Rance; we were recalled and set out motorized, to cross the Brittany peninsula, heading in the direction of Brest as part of task force A. Our mission was to clear up the pockets of German resistance that remained in the scattered towns of the peninsula. Among these, Morlaix will perhaps be the longest remembered, as here it was we learned something of the gratitude of the French people, who had been living four years under harsh German rule.
Private First Class Albergucci was a member of I Company, third battalion of the 330th IR. The morning report for August 2, 1944 on pages 2 and 3 list him joining the unit from the 41st Replacement Battalion on July 31, 1944. The morning report for August 23, 1944 on page 26 lists him as killed in action.
