SUBJECT: Non-Recover~ble

TO: Non-Recoverable Board, AGRC

1. It is recommended that the Board take action on the following cases:

NAJ!~S: See ~ttnched Roster

ORG.~NIZ)'TION: See 371 Forms

D.1TE OF DJ!~_,~TH: See 371 Forms

PL.~CE OF DE;~'i'E: See 371 Forms

SYNOPSIS: The casualties listed on att~ched roster are report by official records as tUBsing In Action or Killed In Action during grc~

air or naval operations in the department of M:mche, Fr'-lnce, from the period of 5 June 1944 to 15 l\UgUSt 1944. Extensive area senrches as wel~

as individual investig~tionB have to date failed to furnish information as to the ultimnte disposition of their rem~ins. Efforts to effect association vlith unidentifi~d recoveries from the nrea, now interred in U.S. Military Cemeteries, ho.ve also proven neg,J.tive. The Inck of specifi information regnrding the deo.th or burinl, limited search in Inost instances to genero.l loc~lities, however, documents on file in this Offie and Office of The 0uarterluaster General subst~ntiate the fact that numerous investigations covering the entire depnrtment of the iknehe, have been conducted. in the course of search oper.ltions for all losses, both recovered and unrecovered. The terr~in of the t~nche dep~rtment, fo' the most part, consists of f~rm and gesture l~nd which has been under constant cultiv:ltion and d.1ily use since the cessation of hostilities, thus the possibility of undiscovered grwes is remote. It can therefore only be concluded th~t the rem~ins of the decea~ed in question were re­duced by b~ttle action to a state which precludes recovery or identifi ­cation. The absence of s9ccific inform~tion concerning their deaths, the f~ilure of Field Investig~tions to provide evidence, and the lack of association 'with rccovorcd unlmonns would tend to substJ.ntiate these

AGPO-CR 704 Dead (17 Nov 49) 10345

August D. Parker, who was killed in action on 9 June 1944. Other inform tion contained in the indorsenent is substantially the same as that set forth in the preceding subparagraph concerning the disappearance of i"'riv~tes l10ke and Langston.

4. An examination of the index in Prisoner of ~~ar Information Bur au, P~.iGO, does not reveal any further information relevant to this review. The Captured German Records, now of record in this office, does not reveal the names of subject enlisted men. The QuartErmaster G neral's Office, Memorial Division (iVIrs. :,IcConaughy) reports there are no burial reports of record in tha t office, nor are there any favorable Unknowns to be associated with this case.

5. In the absence of any definite inform'tion as to the fate of subject enlisted men after they were wounded in action, it is concluded that the infor­rna tion 0 f record in the Department, as thi s time, doe s not warrant the issuance of official reports of death under the provisions of ~ection 9, Missing Persons Act.

Dear ra. s:

Since son, Priva e irat elas ymond • Sanders, 37 ,107,418, Infantry, was rep>rted mi sing in actio 6 June 1944, the ar D partment h s

n rtaine the hope that e survived an that information wo d be re­realed dispelling the ertaint surrounding hi absence. However, as i many cases, t e cond·tiona 0 warfar d ny u su h information. T e recor concerning yo son shows that he as ounded w "Ie participating in the invasio of northern rance, but that he was not seen or he d from there fter.

Full consideation has recentl een g ve to a inf rmation bearing 0 the abse ce of your so , iDcl-ding all rts and circumstance • These have b en ca ef 1 reviewe and con id re.. In

iew of the fact that ~e ve months ha now expi ed without the r ceipt of evidence of s pport a continued resumption of s v"val, the ar Depart­ment must termi te such absence by a presumptive .fin :tng of death. ccord­. gly, an offi i.l find ng f death has been recor en under he rovisions of ubl:tc La 491 , 7 7th Congr s , appro e .arch 7, 942, as amended.

The ·in jog d e not s blish an actual or rohable d te of eat; however, as requir y a it inc udes a presumntive date of death for the terminati.on of ay nd allowances, satt I ment of accounts and payment of death gratuities. In the case of your son hiR da e a been set as 7 June 94, the day 0110 ing t xpirati n 0 twe ve months' a s nc •

I regret th ecesaity for this message ut trust that t e endin of a Ion eriod 0 uncertainty may ive a lea t some small measu e of co ­solatiozU I ho that you may f" nd s tai. nomfort in t e thought that the un ertainty with whi~h ar has surrounded t e absence of our on has ~nh~c d the onor of his se vice to country an of his sacrif·ce.

rs. Eva ae Sanders 1 Spring Street

Hot Springs, Arkansas

De rs. Sanders:

I am re 1yin further to yeur r cent letter, r questing infor­mation conce ning y0 on, the late rivate First Class Raymond C. Sande s.

I realize your desire fo further details re arding t e status of your son. The in! rmation avai1a Ie in this 0 fice dlsc10~es that o 6 June 1944, riv~te Sanders as serving ith th 35 th Infantry Regiment in the ini ial assault on the northern coa~t of Fra ce,

'. ich made the e innin f the invas' on of este n ope y Allie forces. our son's organization landed on the ea t cast of t e Cherbourg Peninsula. Intense enemy oppos" tion w< encountered both during th 1 dings and agter beachheads had been establis'led. So e of the cr ft we hit and observed to sink or capsize, causing num­erous casu Itie. Other personne were last seen on the beaches, which were ein subjected to enemy artillery, mort r, and machine­gun fire, as well as cca"ional strafing and om ing by enemy planes. These extraordinary batUe conditions aused a "sr tion of normal administrative f cti n of our forces.

An officer reported that your son had been ser"ou ly woundeti. Repo ts reaching this of ice di not indicate the nature and extent of his wounds 0 contain detai as to the attending circumstan es. When no further word was receiv dreg rdin P ivate an e s and a caref check in the overseas theater failed to dis 10 e his here­abouts, the War De roent r cord wer~ amende to show hi a las­ing action. S hsequ nt y, all re orts and records concernin his di ppearance wer reviewed, pursuant to the provi ion of Pu lie Law 49 ,77th Congress, as amended, and it wa concluded, after care­f cons1derat on, t t the~e wa no asis to su part a resumption tha he {s ive. Accordin ly, P in "ng of e R i ~ued. In consideri any case under the cited law the ar Departm, tit oes not

deem it sound no icy to make a finding of death while any reason ble g ound remains fo a presumption that t e rson in question may till be alive.

In conn ction ~ ith yo belie that rivate Sanders mi ht e a victim of amnes:1.a, permit m to expla· that in 1 cases where a soldier's condition is such that e is un ble to make his identity prope ly kno n, v ious mans are sed to es lish conclusively his identify. These means include the c mparison of t e finger rints and dental chart of the individual inc ved wit those f 1 in ashi.gton, D. C. fter identit is positivelyes blished, the res­

ponsible authority, who is otified as to the persoh's e and Army seri umber, smits a r port to the lar Dep rtment for subsequent notification to the fami concerned.

Our overseas c manders are continuing efforts to obtain definite information regarding our men W 0 were reported issing in action and in whose cases death findings were SUbsequently made. You may b cer­tain that in the event a further r po t pe taining to your son is received, yo will be a vised prompt y.
