Service era: World War II

Date of death: Tuesday, November 26, 1946
Death details: On April 25, 2025, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) identified the remains of Cpl. Geroge F. Sepsey, missing from World War II. Sepsey entered the U.S. Army from Michigan and served with Company M, 3rd Battalion, 126th Infantry Regiment, 32nd Infantry Division. He was lost during the Buna-Gona Campaign on Papua New Guinea and was last seen near the Soputa-Sanananda Track during a grueling battle against Japan defensive forces there on Nov. 26, 1942. Following the war, the American Graves Registration Service, the military unit responsible for investigating and recovering missing American personnel in the Pacific Theater, began exhuming remains from approximately 11,000 graves in Finschhafen cemeteries in Papua New Guinea for shipment to the Central Identification Point at the Manila Mausoleum in the Philippines for identification. Sepsey was not among those identified. Remains that could not identified at the time were interred as Unknowns at the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial. In 2017, DPAA personnel exhumed one such Unknown, recovered from the Soputa-Sanananda area in March 1943, and sent the remains to the DPAA laboratory for scientific analysis. Based on the laboratory analysis and circumstantial evidence, the remains were identified as those of Sepsey.
