John Hershel White, age 20, from Alabama, Jackson county.
Service era: Korea
Date of death: Thursday, November 2, 1950
Death details: On June 18, 2008, the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC, now DPAA) identified the remains of Sergeant John Hershel White, missing from the Korean War. Sergeant White entered the U.S. Army from Alabama and served with Company H, 2nd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division. On November 2, 1950, members of Company H were occupying a defensive position near Unsan, North Korea, north of a bend in the Kuryong River known as the “Camel’s Head Bend.” That day, elements of the Chinese Communist Forces struck the 1st Cavalry Division’s lines, collapsing the perimeter and forcing a withdrawal. SGT White did not survive this combat, though the details of his loss are not recorded. In 2007, the North Korean government repatriated human remains excavated from an area near Unsan; U.S. analysts later identified SGT White from these remains.
