PLATOON SERGT. HARRY A. NOGLE, 29, was killed in action with the 29th Division while storming St. Lo on July 11, relatives here were informed last night in a telegram from the War Department.
Sergt. Nogle was the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Nogle of East Seventh street, this city, and for many years had resided with Mr. and Mrs. Edward Bentz, 272 Dill avenue. He was in the 29th Division from it's induction and had only recently been raised to a platoon sergeant from staff sergeant, Mr. Bentz said last night. The last letter received from him was mailed from Normandy July 6 and was of a very cheerful tone.
Sergt. Nogle, who was well known and popular locally had a premonition that he would not survive the war. Last May he had dinner with Yeoman Harry L. Decker, this city, in the latter's apartment in London and in bidding farewell expressed the opinion that "I'll never get back to old Frederick." He explained that the 29th Division had gone through the most rigorous of training and that he would certainly be in the thick of the fighting when the invasion was launched and that his chances of survival were slim.
Sergt. Nogle was an excellent marksman with a rifle and vitally interested in affairs of the Frederick Club. He was a member of the civilian rifle team that represented Maryland in the national shoot at Camp Perry, O., several years ago. He was a graduate of Frederick High School and was active in DeMolay circles. He was a member of Grace Evangelical and Reformed church, this city. From the time of his graduation to his induction he was employed at the Rug Store owned by Mr. Bentz.
