My great, great uncle, John E Carleton was in this regiment. He died on March 4th, 1945. He received a purple heart and is buried in Belgium. We don't know how he died, or much about him because he was so young and had no children.

Double response: WW2 was before my time but based on what you have posted:
To numbers, is this part of the Moody inquiries posted on other websites? Co E would have been 2nd Battalion of the 346th.
To sdcvt: I would surmise by the KIA date and internment at Henri-Chapelle Cemetary that he was killed during the attacks on Hills 648 and 649 in the regions of Ormont and Hallschlag. He would also have earned the ACM and EAME but military headstones only list Decorations, not Service Medals. If Infantry he would also have received the CIB and (in 1947) a Bronze Star Medal.
You post you don't know much about him. His NAAD data list his civil occupation as "Semiskilled chauffeurs and drivers, bus, taxi, truck, and tractor "
