| 1Lt Lloyd POLETTE |
Many
people know and have read about 1Lt Lloyd Polette's distinguished, albeit short
career in the 508th PIR, 82nd Airborne. He earned the DSC for extraordinary
heroism during the first two days of Operation Market Garden near Nijmegen,
Holland. (The citation will be added to his photo.) He is so revered, that
"today, the 4th Brigade Combat Team of the 82nd Airborne Division at Ft.
Bragg, NC has an annual competition called the Lt. Lloyd L. Polette Cup which
is held to determine the brigade’s best lieutenant."
1Lt
LLOYD L. POLETTE Jr. died of wounds during the Battle of the Bugle on January
29, 1945.
b.
February 8, 1916, d. January 22, 1945; he was 28.

| Charles POLETTE, circa 1939 |
What
most people do not know, is that 1Lt Polette had a younger brother, 6 years his
junior, who enlisted in the Army in 1942.
2Lt
CHARLES E. POLETTE also died of wounds while serving with the US Army on Okinawa, May 30, 1945. Unfortunately,
there is no more information surrounding 2Lt Charles Polette's death, and I
will update this status when I find more. I was able to find one of two
archived photographs of Charles Polette; none are military portraits. The photo
provided is his high school graduation yearbook photo.
b.
October 4, 1922, d. May 30, 1945; he was 22.
The
brothers Polette are buried at Saint Joseph Cemetery, Shreveport, Caddo Parish,
Louisiana, USA. RIP
