Baylor, Stanley Earl
Army Corporal

Stanley Earl Baylor, age 21, from Perry, New York, Monroe county.

Service era: Korea

Date of death: Thursday, November 2, 1950
Death details: On December 17, 2008, the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC, now DPAA) identified the remains of Sergeant Stanley Earl Baylor, missing from the Korean War. Sergeant Baylor entered the U.S. Army from New York and was a member of Company L, 3rd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division. On November 1, 1950, his company was occupying a defensive position near Unsan, North Korea, in an area known as the “Camel’s Head,” when Chinese Communist Forces (CCF) attacked. He was killed during the resulting action and his body was not recovered at the time. Between 1991 and 1994, the North Korea government repatriated remains of U.S. service members that were exhumed near Chonsung-Ri in Unsan County, correlating to the area of his loss; U.S. analysts used modern forensic techniques to eventually identify SGT Baylor among the remains recovered.
