Raymond S. HOBACK - 29th Division.
Bedford Boys Fallen - Raymond Samuel HOBACK never had a chance to reach 100 years old today. Instead, he sacrified his life for our freedom... Raymond may have made it out of his landing craft, but he never made it to shore. Others recall seeing his body in the water. Bedford also failed to make in on the beach. He was killed by an exploding 88mm shell. Their time in the battle could be measured in minutes... [American D-Day facebook] Lire plus...

Account
The sections organized quickly on the beach. The A&P platoon started through the passage to the initial CP, firing unexperienced beach engineers in a minefield. The demolition squad, having lost their equipment through casualties, broowroned the equipment of the engineers and proceeded to mark the minefield and direct troops through the passage. The Headquarters and wire section followed to the initial CT at 682896.
The Company moved forward to establish a second CP at 1145 hours in the vicinity of 684892, where constant communications were maintained with the companies of the Battalion and surrounding units, prisoners were received and taken to the rear by the Intelligence section, and the necessary administrative work was handled by the Headquarters section. The Company stayed at this location for the remainder of the day.
