2Lt. Traywick was assigned to the 168th Infantry Reg't of the 34th Division in the Italian Campaign.

From: "Domenic Marvin Corgiat,
World War II Experience"
Part 3 - Italy 1
On October 31, the 133d and 168th Infantry continued up the LETE VALLEY and then into the SAVA RIVER VALLEY. To protect the division left flank, the 133d Infantry climbed over the steep, brush-covered mountains on the left and occupied CIORLANO, a village clinging to the terraced slopes of La Croce Hill. The 168th Infantry took FONTEGRECA  and, on November 1, drove on to CAPRIATI A VOLTURNO.(1)  It was likely during this drive on November 1st that 2Lt. Traywick met death.
