Roy White, age 24, from Tennessee, Madison county.
Service era: Korea
Date of death: Friday, July 10, 1953
Death details: On July 6, 1953, a large Chinese Communist Forces (CCF) unit attacked and overran the U.S. Army outposts on Pork Chop Hill in an attempt to seize whatever territory possible before the impending armistice agreement. After fighting for the position for four days, on July 10, the 7th Infantry Division Commander determined that the CCF disregard for casualties and desire to hold the outpost outweighed the position’s tactical value, and ordered a withdrawal that was eventually completed on July 11. The U.S. never again controlled Pork Chop Hill, preventing thorough recovery efforts for those who were killed or went missing during the fighting. Corporal Roy White, who joined the U.S. Army from Tennessee, served with Company I, 3rd Battalion, 32nd Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division. CPL White was killed during the CCF attack on Pork Chop Hill on July 10, though the exact circumstances of his loss remain unknown. His remains could not be recovered, and he is still unaccounted-for. Today, Corporal White is memorialized on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
