Myron Gracian Dick, age 24, from Hillsborough County Hillsboro, New Hampshire .
Spouse: Ethel (Parrotte) Dick
Service era: Korea
Date of death: Unknown
Death details: By mid-November 1950, U.S. and Allied forces had advanced to within approximately sixty miles of the Yalu River, the border between North Korea and China. On November 25, approximately 300,000 Chinese Communist Forces (CCF) “volunteers” suddenly and fiercely counterattacked after crossing the Yalu. The 2nd Infantry Division, located the farthest north of units at the Chongchon River, could not halt the CCF advance and was ordered to withdraw to defensive positions at Sunchon in the South Pyongan province of North Korea. As the division pulled back from Kunu-ri toward Sunchon, it conducted an intense rearguard action while fighting to break through well-defended roadblocks set up by CCF infiltrators. The withdrawal was not complete until December 1, and the 2nd Infantry Division suffered extremely heavy casualties in the process. Sergeant First Class Myron Gracian Dick entered the U.S. Army from New Hampshire and served in L Company of the 3rd Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division. He was reported missing on November 30, 1950, as the 23rd Infantry faced enemy resistance while setting up rearguard positions near Hill 201 on the Namdae River. He was put in a group with other prisoners of war (POWs) who were marched to Camp 5 on the Yalu River; however, SFC Dick was very ill during this time, and died while the group was en route. He was buried in a small village near Pukchin-Tarigol, though his remains have not been recovered and he was not identified among the remains returned to the U.S. following the war. Today, Sergeant First Class Dick 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.
