Timeline
Robert Lee "Bull" Wolverton (October 5, 1914 – June 6, 1944) was the commander of the American 3rd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, from 1942 until his death at Saint-Côme-du-Mont, Normandy, on D-Day, June 6, 1944, during World War II.
Despite being killed before landing on French soil, Wolverton's legacy endured, particularly on the strength of a prayer spoken to the 750 men in his battalion hours before the D-Day parachute drop behind enemy lines.
Born in Elkins, West Virginia, Wolverton graduated from the United States Military Academy with a B.S. degree on June 14, 1938.
His October 3, 1940 promotion to first lieutenant was made permanent on June 14, 1941.
Wolverton was temporarily advanced to lieutenant colonel on January 18, 1943.
After the war, his remains were returned to the United States and interred at the West Point Cemetery on October 11, 1948.
Upon the earthen hedgerow stood Lt. Col. Robert L. Wolverton, commanding officer of 3rd battalion, 506th PIR.
All were silent for two minutes as the men were left, each with his individual thoughts.
Then the colonel ordered, "Move out."
A few hours later, Robert Wolverton was killed by German machine gun fire in an orchard outside Saint-Come-du-Mont, Normandy, France.
According to Ed Shames, Wolverton sustained "162 bullet holes and bayonet wounds" due to German troops using him as target practice.
Of the paratroopers in his plane, 5 were killed (including Wolverton), 7 were captured (some later escaped) and 3 successfully fought on.
Wolverton's words were cited by President Ronald Reagan in a 1984 speech from Normandy on the 40th anniversary of the invasion and recounted in numerous books and in Newsweek and Associated Press stories on a battalion reunion held in Kansas City on the first D-Day anniversary after the war.
Following is a recounting of the prayer:
The men were called together, and they stood in the orchard on either side of a low earthen mound which fenced the fields.
On 9 June 2014 a monument was dedicated to Wolverton at Saint-Côme-du-Mont, Normandy, France.
