Raymond U. Schlamp, Private First Class U.S. Army, died at the age of 28, on September 8, 1944, after being wounded in battle near Dornot, France, during WWII.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 10 a.m., Saturday, April 6, 2024 at the Lawrence Community Center, Anamosa. Rev. Holly Knouse will officiate. Military Honors will be accorded by the United States Army following the service. Private burial will be in Linwood Cemetery, Dubuque, where he will be laid to rest next to his mother.
Raymond was born in Leroy, WI on January 3, 1916, the son of John and Mabel Schlamp.
Serving in General George Patton’s Third Army from November of 1941, he was wounded crossing the Moselle River near an area known as Horseshoe Woods. Due to the heavy fighting, he was left behind when his unit retreated, and his remains were not located and identified following the battle.
Raymond’s family would like to thank the United States Army, which, through DNA testing, identified, recovered, and returned him to them.
