I am researching the death of a Bomb Disposal Tech from the 41st Ordnance Bomb Disposal Squad; T/SGT Louis Brovetto. He died on 30 July 1944. I have been in contact with his Commander, CPT Harvey Morgan, who turns 96 in a few months, who gave me some information as to how he died. According to Mr. Morgan, T/SGT Brovetto was investigating either a German or U.S. Tank on the morning of 30 July that was potentially stuck in a minefield; one of the tracks was apparently blown off. Mr. Morgan stated that their mission was to clear the tank of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) so it could be returned into service. Which leads me to believe it was an allied tank.
If anyone could help point me to a database or where to look for a second account of events that happened pertaining to this event, I would be very appreciative.
I'm assuming he was English. You could request his service record from the National Archive, you may also be able to request a unit roster in order to track down anyone else still living. Other than that I doubt you'll find much unless he was highly decorated for something else, dying in a war isn't that notable of an achievement(no offense intended).
