Units of the 2nd Battalion, 11th Infantry crossing the Moselle River at Dornot on September 8, 1944.
In the Battle for the Dornot Bridgehead, the 2nd Battalion of the 11th Infantry Regiment suffered a total of 459 casualties (40 KIA, 28 MIA, 172 WIA and 219 Non-Battle), almost 50% of its force. The high proportion of non-battle casualties attests to the physical and mental pressures endured by the men, and the unceasing severity of the three-day struggle.
