Comments:
Floyd L. Settles was born on January 13, 1909, in Rutherford County, North Carolina. He served in the 41st Armored Infantry Regiment, 2nd Armored Division, as a Private First Class during World War II. He was Killed in Action on September 17, 1944, at the age of 35, and is now buried in the Little White Country Church Cemetery, Rutherfordton, Rutherford County, North Carolina, USA. PFC Settles was one of the 65 soldiers killed in battle during the liberation of the Limburg region of the Netherlands and Belgium. His headstone was mistakenly inscribed with the wrong unit. We believe that it should be "41st", not 91st.
