He volunteered to stay behind with Corporal James Kelly and hold off a German advance while his company retreated from Neuville-au-Plain.
Technical Sergeant Robert Joseph "Bob" Niland (Febru– June 6, 1944), 25, D Company, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division was killed in action on Jin Normandy. Second Lieutenant Preston Thomas Niland (Ma– June 7, 1944), 29, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division, was killed in action on June 7, 1944, in Normandy, at the Crisbecq Battery. In D-Day June 6, 1944, Ambrose incorrectly states that Edward died in Burma. 
Edward lived in Tonawanda until his death in 1984 at the age of 71. Edward had parachuted from his B-25 Mitchell and wandered the jungles of Burma before being captured. Army Air Forces: Imprisoned in a Japanese POW camp in Burma, he was captured on May 16, 1944, and liberated on May 4, 1945.
Technical Sergeant Edward Francis Niland (Decem– February 28, 1984), U.S. If “The Beard” shares “blame” for creating the modern Hollywood blockbuster, he has spent the last decade making the kind of films that modern tentpoles have pushed out of the marketplace. Spielberg famously claimed that Lincoln almost became an HBO original movie even as it made $275 million on a $65 million budget. However, that Spielberg has recently focused on old-school historically-specific American history dramas, the kind of star-driven, adult-skewing, high-minded films that would otherwise struggle to find a theatrical audience, has arguably made him an even bigger magnet for year-end acclaim. I’m not arguing that his pulpier entertainments ( Minority Report, War of the Worlds, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Tintin, The BFG or Ready Player One) were robbed in the Oscar race. Otherwise, Munich (maybe his best movie) in 2005, War Horse in 2011, Lincoln in 2012, Bridge of Spies (2015) and The Post in 2017 all made the cut. I don ’t count Catch Me If You Can as a drama, even though I’d happily put the Leonardo DiCaprio/Tom Hanks/Christopher Walken-starring con-kid caper alongside any of 2002’s best films (ditto A.I.: Artificial Intelligence in 2001). Saving Private Ryan won Spielberg his second Best Director statute in 1999 but (controversially) lost Best Picture to Shakespeare In Love. And it would be the last such film not to get a Best Picture nomination. 
Amistad, an ambitious but disappointing story of a slave ship revolt, was the first straight-up Spielberg drama not nominated for Best Picture since the unjustly ignored Empire of the Sun in 1987.
