My Dad, Thomas Senior was in the 143rd cannon company. He Had a friend killed next to him with the first name of Laverne. I do not know his last name. Laverne's Mom & Dad kept in touch over the yrs until my Dad passed in 1963. Dad named my younger brother's first name Laverne. In the 36th book I only found to Lavern's but both of them survived the war. I checked the roster in the whole book and never found another Laverne. Any other way to find his last name....

The only soldier with the first name "Laverne" in the Cannon Company, 143rd Infantry Regiment is Laverne Kincannon, who was taken prisoner on September 19, 1943. He did survive the war and died in 2001 :https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/59924612/laverne-martel-kincannon
Maybe the soldier was from another unit which was attached to the 36th Infantry Division?
