ARTHUR BRUNDEEN Mrs. Edith Brundeen, southeast of town, recently received the following official information with regard to the death of her son, Sgt. Arthur Brundeen, from wounds received in action on the war front in France on June 12/1944, in a letter written by Capt. W. L. Skow, 359th U.S.. Infantry: Headquarters 359th Infantry, June 12 1945 Mrs. Edith Brundeen Akron Iowa, R. R. No. 1. Dear Mrs. Brundeen: In reply to your letter of March 1, 1945 to the Chaplain, which was forwarded to this Headquarters for answer, requesting further details regarding your son, Sgt. Arthur Brundeen, 37440765, Company "K" who died of wounds June 12, 1944, the following information is now available: After landing in France on "D" Day, our Division was assembled and our first Headquarters in France was established at Loutres and our first attack was across the Merderet River, through the 82nd Airborne Division, who were being relieved. We met fierce enemy resistance. The hedgerows were lined with the enemy firing automatic weapons of every kind. When our troops ventured into a field, machine guns opened deadly crossfire, followed by mortar shells, which peppered our positions constantly. It was during the action that Arthur was felled by enemy rifle fire while advancing across a field, during an attack on an enemy machine gun nest. In spite of the deadly enemy fire, he was carried back, given first aid. A litter team was taking him back to the aid station when he passed away. The cause of his death was a severe wound in the stomach. He was then taken to the United States military Cemetery No. 1, St. Mere Eglise, France, and laid to rest in grave number 138, row 7, plot "N" after services were conducted for him by an army Chaplain of the Protestant faith. Today his grave has a white cross for a marker and lies in the midst of many of his comrades, with whom he fought and died so bravely. Your son made the supreme sacrifice bravely, unflinchingly, in the service of his country. Perhaps only those who have stood on the battlefield will know of the high courage with which he and his comrades carried in the fight to the enemy. He was a good soldier, of whom we were justly proud. We want to convey to you our deepest sympathy in the great loss you have sustained. Sincerely yours, W. L. SKOW, Capt. 359th Inf., Personnel Officer.
