Roy Cobb 31 Roy Cobb Nickname Cobb Born June 18, 1914 New York Died January 1990 (aged 75) Niagara, New York Allegiance United States Service/branch United States Army Years of service 1933-1945 Rank Private Roy Cobb Unit Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division Battles/wars World War II • Operation Torch • Operation Market Garden • Battle of the Bulge Private Roy W. Cobb (June 18, 1914 - January 1990) [1] was a soldier who served with the 1st Armored Division years before enlisting in the paratroopers with Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, in the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army during World War II. During his military service, Roy's rank was always Private. Cobb was portrayed in the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers by Craig Heaney. Military service Cobb had served in the army for nine years prior to enlisting in the Parachute Infantry. [2] During that time, he took part in an assault landing in Africa with the 1st Armored Division. [2] He survived a torpedo attack that sank the troop ship he was on when travelling back to the States. [2] During the drop into Normandy on June 6, 1944, he was wounded inside the plane and was unable to jump. Cobb and George Luz had exchanged seats because Luz wanted to jump earlier in the stick. Luz was afraid of being hit in the plane and not being able to jump. [3] After recovering in England, Cobb rejoined his unit after they were relieved from combat operations in France; he took part in Operation Market Garden in the Netherlands, and fought at Bastogne in the Battle of the Bulge. In January/February 1945, he was selected for a patrol at Haguenau under Lt. Jack Foley. [4] When the patrol commenced, Cobb's raft riding capsized, sending the men into the frigid water of the Moder River. They were then ordered to remain behind by an officer. The patrol returned with two prisoners, while one severely wounded German was left on the riverbank. David Kenyon Webster feared the wounded German, if recovered, would give away the outpost's position and threaten their safety, therefore he offered to silence the wounded soldier. Webster and another paratrooper each threw 2 grenades, none of which killed the German. Cobb later made one attempt with a grenade of his own, killing the wounded soldier. Cobb was discharged from service after assaulting his platoon commander, Lt. Foley, in Haguenau, after consuming a bottle of schnapps. [5] While handing the court-martial papers in, Robert Sink said, "Foley, you could have saved us all a lot of trouble. You should have shot him." [5] Cobb died in January 1990 at Niagara, New York.
