Despite heavy losses, the 116th penetrated the enemy defenses and established a tenuous beachhead by nightfall." On November 16, 1944, the 29th Division joined in one of the largest U.S. Army offensives of the war to date as a component of the Ninth Army. The goal was to smash through the German lines in the Rhineland, cross the Roer River at Jülich, and drive on to the Rhine by Christmas 1944. In three weeks of brutal combat, however, Gerhardt’s men only managed to advance nine miles and were halted on the west bank of the Roer just short of Jülich. The miniscule German towns through which the 29th fought—Siersdorf, Dürboslar, Aldenhoven, Bourheim, Koslar, and others—would be remembered by the 29ers as some of the most brutal fighting they experienced in World War II. Further, as cold and wet weather set in, the 29th Division lost hundreds of men due to exposure and trench foot. Per the 1930 US census, he was living with his parents and the family consisted of the following (all born in North Caroling): R. D., head, age 51, salesman/men's clothing Judie, wife, age 45 Millie, daughter, age 16 George, son, age 15 The people listed on the 1940 US Census were George and his wife Virginia. They were both working in the hosiery mill, George a a knitter and Virginia as a seamer.
