Found a couple items on a Gordon B. Queen. If you recieve his IDPF file from St Louis it will have info on his death. There is no mention of him in any of the 80th Div Morning Reports or After Action Reports posted on the 80th`s website

From a database search at the American Battle Monuments Commision Website:

He was a sergeant in Company B 105th Engineers and took a commission as an officer in the 305th Engineer Battalion. If I am not mistaken, thte 105th Engineers were assigned to the 30th Infantry Division.
