    Below is a list of the members of the 300th Engineering Combat Battalion who died on June 19th, 1944.  Most are listed on the Tablets of the Missing at the Normandy cemetery.  Approximately 9 have burial sites at the cemetery.  I included members of the 3000th ECB who died at a later date and are buried in the Normandy Cemetery.  I do not know if the later deaths are "Died of Wounds" inflicted as a result of the LST hitting a mine or if they died in combat unrelated to the LST 523.

    Wow, that is exactly what I need!!  Thank you!  I'm working on a project with a group called STARS who are writing the stories of fallen WWII veterans for Fold3. I have chosen this ship because my uncle was one who lost his life that day.

    You are welcome.  There was a website for the 300th ECB but it is no longer operational.  The Internet Archive has archived pages from the website.  The archived website is not fully functional; some of the links don't work.  The Gallery is of particular interest with photos of stateside training and training in England prior to the invasion.  You may read more about the 300th ECB at this site:

    Major Tucker, who died on 27 June 1944 is not listed among the casualties of LST 523.
