More information

Pvt Peter M. Waugaman attended Thomas A. Edison Vocational School. He was employed at Republic Steel Company in the Electrical Department.

He enlisted on 1 April 1943 in Cleveland, Ohio and was sent overseas in June 1944.

According to a Headstone Inscription and Interment Record, Pvt Waugaman was originally buried at the Frankfurt Mausoleum Cemetery. This must indicate that he was taken prisoner and probably died in a POW camp in the vicinity of Frankfurt, Germany. Further information is not available.

Pvt Waugaman is also listed on the Walls of the Missing at Normandy American Cemetery.
