A flight from Hawaii carrying his remains landed on Friday at Harrisburg International Airport.
WWII soldier’s remains returned home for burialArmy Pvt. Horace H. Middleton, 20, of Northumberland County, killed during World War II, was accounted for on Oct. 31, 2019.
“He’s going to be back and buried with his family,” said Middleton’s relative, John Bower of Milton. “His parents, his grandparents all died without knowing what happened to him. The graveside stone has been there with his name on since the 60s. It’s a sense of relief that he’ll permanently be at rest.”
After taking the airfield in Myitkyina, Burma, from the Japanese on May 17, Middleton’s battalion was tasked with holding the airfield and taking part in the siege of Myitkyina. Middleton was reported to have been killed during fighting on July 12, 1944. In January and February 1946, all of the remains at the U.S. Military Cemetery were disinterred and transferred to the U.S. Military Cemetery at Kalaikunda, India.
On Sept. 17, 2018, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency disinterred Unknown X-63 Kalaikunda from the Punchbowl and accessioned the remains into the DPAA laboratory at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii.
