    Best I can figure, the US 90th Infantry Division passed through the area after June 12th, but if there was in combat, it was limited, as the division moved on to the west and was in the Golleville-Urville area 17 June. There also could have been some isolated paratroopers from the 82nd and/or 101st AB, but that probably would have been squad size or smaller.
