If anyone knows the whereabouts of this missing soldier's relatives, please contact:
Harold Davis (hgdavis@bellsouth.net)
40th Infantry Division
Korea ’52-‘53
910-791-2333
EUGENE F TROSS
Born: October 17, 1925. Caucasian
Service # RA37647419
Unit: 21 Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division
Type of casualty: Captured (POW) August 12, 1950
Died while a Prisoner of War
When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are 78 families in Missouri that have not been located.
When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.
I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.
