Death details: On December 16, 2010, the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC, now DPAA) identified the remains of Sergeant First Class James Charles Caldwell, missing from the Korean War. Sergeant First Class Caldwell entered the U.S. Army from Virginia and was a member of Headquarters Company, 3rd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division. He was killed in action while fighting the enemy along the Nammyon River near Unsan, North Korea, on November 2, 1950, 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 in North Pyongan Province from an area correlating to SFC Caldwell’s loss; in 1993, U.S. analysts used modern forensic techniques to identify SFC Caldwell among the remains recovered.
