Parents: Myrtle M. Reynolds
Service era: Korea
Military history: 32nd Infantry, Eigth Army, medical division
Date of death: Thursday, April 26, 1951
Death details: On January 16, 2019, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) identified the remains of Private Winfred Lee Reynolds, missing from the Korean War. Private Reynolds, who joined the U.S. Army from North Carolina, served with the Medical Company, 32nd Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division. On April 26, 1951, he was attached to Company C, 1st Battalion, 32nd Infantry, when his unit’s defensive positions northwest of the town of Inje, South Korea were attacked by Chinese Communist Forces. He was killed during this battle while caring for wounded soldiers. Private Reynolds was buried near the area of his loss, but later investigations there failed to locate his remains. In 2017, a South Korean investigative team recovered human remains from near Inje, which were then transferred to DPAA facilities for further analysis. U.S. forensic analysts successfully identified these remains as those of Private Reynolds. Private Reynolds is memorialized on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. His name is also inscribed on the Korean War Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, DC, which was updated in 2022 to include the names of the fallen.

Date of death: Friday, September 22, 1944
Death details: In September 1944, American forces launched Operation STALEMATE II, the invasion on Peleliu, an island in Palau. On Sept. 15, the 1st Marine Division came ashore under enemy fire. The following day, Marines secured the island’s airfield despite taking heavy casualties. The battle for Peleliu lasted another two months, as Marines were forced to clear heavily fortified pockets of Japanese resistance across the island. The 1st Marine Division, reinforced by the 81st Infantry Division, slowly advanced north under nearly constant mortar and artillery fire. The invasion of Peleliu had the highest casualty rate of all the amphibious Pacific Island invasions of World War II. Corporal Albert Lee Ives Jr., who entered the U.S. Marine Corps from Georgia, served with Company B, 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division, Fleet Marine Forces. On September 22, 1944, CPL Ives was killed in action during an attack near the Five Sisters, north of the airport on Peleliu. His remains were not recovered at the time of his loss, and he is still unaccounted-for. Today, Corporal Ives is memorialized on the Walls of the Missing at the Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines.
