PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The remains of a World War II soldier from Oregon who went missing in the final weeks of the Guadalcanal campaign have been positively identified 76 years after he was listed as missing in action, according to the U.S. government.
1 / 3FILE - In this Aug. 3, 2017, file photo, the dog tags and a Hawaiian pressed penny charm of Pfc. Dale W. Ross are displayed at Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. The U.S. Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency has positively identified skeletal remains recovered two years ago on the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific as those of Pfc. Dale W. Ross, whose surviving family lives in Ashland, Oregon.
A search was conducted, but fellow soldiers were unable to locate his remains. On July 14, 1949, based on a lack of information, the U.S. Army determined Ross to be non-recoverable, the statement said. He was 22 at the time he was last seen alive. The man gave her a pressing of the dog tags, which included Ross' name and hometown of Ashland, Oregon, Esposito said in a phone interview Monday from her home in upstate New York.
