PRIVATE LAURENT F. CHOIMER
III, 20, of Ridge Avenue, Glendora NJ, was killed in action while
serving with the 134th Infantry Regiment on October 7, 1944, during
combat in the Foret de Gremercy. A champion swimmer while a student at
the Camden County Vocational School, he had been employed as a draftsman
at the B.F. Sturtevant Company in Camden, prior to being called up in
May of 1943. While the November 14, 1944 edition of the Camden Courier-Post reported
that he went overseas in June of 1944, it is
highly likely that he shipped out in May. The
Choimer-Trace
VFW Post 8714 in Glendora bears his name.
