The Defense POW\/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) announced today that U.S. Army Pfc. Harry J. Hartmann, Jr., 19, of Mays Landing, New Jersey, who died as a prisoner of war during the Korean War, was accounted for July 13, 2022.<\/p>\n

In the fall of 1950, Hartmann was a member of E Company, 2nd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division. He was reported missing in action on Nov. 2 during fighting near Unsan, North Korea. Repatriated POWs reported he had been captured and held as a prisoner of war at Camp #5, Pyoktang, North Korea, where he died on or around March 31, 1951.<\/p>\n

During Operation GLORY in the fall of 1954, 495 sets of remains from burial grounds around Camp #5 were returned to United Nations Command. All but 38 were identified. Those remains were buried as Unknowns at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, also known as the Punchbowl, in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1956.<\/p>\n

In September 2019, during Phase 2 of DPAA\u2019s Korean War Disinterment Project, X-14617 Operation GLORY was disinterred from the Punchbowl as part of the planned exhumation of Operation GLORY burials originating from Camp #5, and transferred to the DPAA Laboratory at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii for analysis.<\/p>\n

To identify Hartmann\u2019s remains, scientists from DPAA used dental and anthropological analysis, as well as circumstantial evidence. Additionally, scientists from the\u00a0Armed Forces Medical Examiner System<\/a>\u00a0used mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis.<\/p>\n

Hartmann\u2019s name is recorded on the Courts of the Missing at the Punchbowl, along with the others who are still missing from the Korean War. A rosette will be placed next to his name to indicate he has been accounted for.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

LET US NOW OBSERVE A MOMENT OF SILENCE TO HONOR AMERICA\u2019S
\nPOW\/MIAs, TO THE SUCCESS OF OUR EFFORTS TO ACCOUNT FOR THEM, AND TO
\nTHE SAFETY OF ALL NOW SERVING OUR NATION!<\/p>\n
