Marines Sergeant
Elden William Grimm, age 26, from Menasha, Wisconsin, Winnebago county.
Parents: Freda A. Grimm
Service era: World War II
Date of death: Thursday, November 25, 1943
Death details: On September 26, 2017, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) identified the remains of Sergeant Elden William Grimm, missing from World War II. Sergeant Grimm, who entered the U.S. Marine Corps from Wisconsin, served with Company A, 1st Battalion, 18th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division. On November 25, 1943, Sgt Grimm was killed in action during the assault on the Japanese-held atoll of Tarawa. His remains were not recovered at the time. After the war, remains from battlefield cemeteries on Tarawa that could not be identified were disinterred for analysis at the Central Identification Laboratory in Hawaii. Remains that still could not be identified were reinterred at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. In 2016, DPAA analysts exhumed a set of these remains and, using modern forensic technology, identified them as those of Sgt Grimm.
