  (courtesy of Rita Hendren)

Grave marker application and resulting marker for Robert J. Scheanwald in Section 39, Lot 102, Grave 1 of the Calvary Cemetery, Toledo (Lucas county), Ohio.

Robert enlisted in the Army at Camp Perry, Lacarne, OH on 14 October 1942 and became a member of Company B, 508th PIR.

Robert enlisted in the Army at Camp Perry, Lacarne, OH on 14 October 1942.  Pvt Scheanwald was appointed as a Corporal on 31 August 1943 and then to the grade of Sergeant on 5 November 1943.

Sgt Scheanwald jumped into Normandy on 6 June 1944 and was later listed as missing in action that same day.  He was later listed as killed in action on 11 June 1944, a date which may actually reflect when his body was found, perhaps a victim of drowning.
