On August 15, 1944, he jumped into Provence with the "C" battery of the 460th Parachute Field Artillery Battalion. Just after the jump, his group was pinned to the ground near Trans en Provence by a German machine gun nest. 2nd Lt Harry Moore and Pfc Philip Kennamer decided, with the help of the French Assault Battalion soldier (Jacques Debray) to neutralize the enemy machine gun. All three were killed during the assault.
