ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) — A soldier from South Carolina who was killed in the Korean War will be buried in his hometown this summer, more than 70 years after he went missing in action.
The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency said Thursday it had accounted for Army Pfc. Louis N. Crosby, 18, of Orangeburg last year.
Crosby was reported missing in action on Dec. 1, 1950, after his unit was attacked by enemy forces near the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea.
Officials said his remains could not be recovered after the battle.
