Victor Torres, a Corporal in the 3206th Quartermaster Service Company, was killed on the night of 28 April 1944 during Exercise Tiger - a rehearsal for the forthcoming Normandy landings, taking place off Slapton Sands, Devon. In a series of blunders, German E-Boats were able to intercept the landing craft and sank two and damaged two others; 946 U.S. servicemen were killed. The disaster was ‘hushed up’ at the time and remained classified for many decades, with the casualty details only released in August 1944 along with those for the actual D-Day Landings. Torres is commemorated on the American Memorial to the Missing at Cambridge Cemetery.


Sold with associated riband bar and a small U.S.A. flag for display purposes.
