This February, DPAA announced that it had accounted for CPL James C. Rix, US Army. CPL Rix was lost in North Korea on 30 November 1950.
CPL Rix will be buried later this week – on Saturday, 4 May 2019, in Alamo, Georgia. Regrettably, DPAA does not seem to have posted the specific location for his funeral or interment.
If any TAH readers have the precise location for either CPL Rix’s funeral or interment, please post it in comments below. And if any readers are in that area and have the time, here’s an opportunity to give someone lost during the Korean War a proper final send-off.
Memorial services will be held Saturday, May 4, 2019, at Union Springs Baptist Church, 3577 Scotland Road, Alamo, Georgia, at 2:00 p.m.
Interment will follow in the church cemetery with full military rites.
Rest in peace, Corporal.
