A veteran from New Jersey who died at the age of 19 while imprisoned during the Korean War has been accounted for 71 years after his death, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency said.
The soldier was reported missing on Nov. 2, 1950, during a battle near Unsan, North Korea, officials said. POWs reported he had been captured and held as a prisoner of war at Camp #5 in Pyoktang, North Korea, where he died on or around March 31, 1951, the DPAA said. The unidentified remains were exhumed in 2019 and transferred to a DPAA laboratory in 2019 as part of an initiative to identify fallen Korean War veterans, officials said.
