WW2 MIA
#4

I rmember the 34th ID b eing in Italy with the 36th ID Rough war for both.

 

In the 90s when a lot of WW2 vets could still make the trip, battle field tours were heading for Europe every year. One group that fought in the Bulge had a former Company Cammander as a tour Guide. One Vet said we had a Lt. That was MIA after we were ordered to move up. He looked to the side and saw His Lt. get out of his foxhole and give the order. When they reached their objective the Lt. was not there.They moved on and never saw him again.

So the tour guide said where was his fochole? Over there! THey wlaked over to a clump of bushes and he pointed, right there. They scraped away some leaves and saw a pair of combat boots sticking out of the ground ina partially filled fixhole! His Lt. was found afetr 50 years as MIA, thnaks to one Veteran who focused on him during the tour.
