More information

S/Sgt Steven Revilock attended Lincoln High School and enlisted in Cleveland, Ohio on 1 August 1941.

On the 3rd of April we made contact with elements of the 6th SS Mountain Division near Breitenbaum. After we reached there the Company hastily deployed for action. Contact with the enemy was made at 11:45 hour and our push through the wooded and hill terrain began. At 15:00 hour intra-Company radio announced that our right flank had been held up by enemy action and that two men had been killed and one seriously wounded. These men were: 2nd Lt Muray D. Box, Leader of the 2nd Platoon and Pfc George R. Woodburn, rifleman, both were killed. S/Sgt Steven Revilock, platoon guide, seriously wounded.

Several days later we learned from our Chaplin that S/Sgt Revilock had died of his wounds. A moment should be dedicated to these men at this time. Finer soldiers, were never had. Lt Box with all his humor and grand ways was missed considerably. Pfc Woodburn, a good soldier, feared no one he fought and died a brave man. S/Sgt Revilock, a very competent platoon guide, was one of the older members of the unit and in heartfelt manner we salute him.
He was buried on the 7th of April at the US Military Cemetery Butzbach, Germany.

Next to him they buried T/Sgt Delgrego, in which Unit he served was unkown at the moment, and Pfc Miller of the Co A 5th Infantry 71st Division.
In August 1948 he was re-buried at the Margraten Cemetery and Memorial.
First buried at Block QQQ, Row 1, Grave 22.
