Clarence James Ernest Jr., age 24, from Louisiana, Pointe Coupee county.
Service era: Korea
Date of death: Thursday, July 9, 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. Sergeant Clarence James Ernest Jr. entered the U.S. Army from Louisiana and was a member of Company K, 3rd Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division. He was killed in action on July 9 during the fighting at Pork Chop Hill. His remains were not recovered, and he is still unaccounted for. Today, Sergeant Ernest is memorialized on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
