On June 6, 1944, U.S. Coast Guard personnel manned the infantry landing craft USS LCI(L)-92 which carried approximately 25 crew members and 200 soldiers for the D-Day landings at Normandy, France. While off the coast of Omaha Beach, the landing craft was hit by enemy shells and mortar fire before it struck a mine that ignited fuel in its forward troop compartment. The men positioned inside the compartment were killed instantly by the intense fire that spread throughout the ship, which was ultimately burned out and abandoned on the beach. The fire's intensity prevented the recovery of the remains of twenty-four men from the troop compartment.

Corporal Julius G. Wolfe, who entered the U.S. Army from Missouri, served with the 149th Engineer Combat Battalion. He was aboard LCI(L)-92 at the time of its loss on June 6, 1944. He was killed during the incident but his remains were not recovered, and he is still unaccounted-for. Today, Corporal Wolfe is memorialized on the Walls of the Missing at the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, France.

Based on all information available, DPAA assessed the individual's case to be in the analytical category of Non-recoverable.
