BURIAL
Warrensburg Cemetery
Battle of Hürtgen Forest, GermanyOriginally assigned to: Battery E, CAC (Coastal Artillery Corps) near Newport News, VA
Later KIA while assigned to: Company A (Infantry), 1st Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment (Warrior), 4th Infantry Division ("Old Ivy")
According to his death date, Tech Sergeant (T/4) Rumrill died during the Battle of Hürtgen Forest. A fellow 12th Infantry member, Sergeant William H. Buell, later described the fight as: "the worst month of war for the 12th Regiment, which suffered 1,493 battle casualties and 1,094 non-battle casualties". This bleak assessment is echoed in a thorough history written by the executive officer of Rumrill's battalion, Major (later Colonel) Gerden F. Johnson. In the appendix of Johnson's book "History of the Twelth Infantry Regiment in World War II", Rumerill's name is listed as KIA on a roster of unit members.
