Death details: During the last week of October 1950, Republic of Korea (ROK) Army forces under the control of the U.S. Eighth Army were advancing deep in North Korean territory, approaching the Yalu River on the Chinese-Korean border. Chinese Communist Forces (CCF) struck back in a surprise attack, engaging the ROK 1st and 6th Divisions near Unsan, some sixty miles north of Pyongyang. The U.S. 1st Cavalry Division, with the 8th Cavalry Regiment in the lead, was rushed forward to reinforce the ROK units in the Unsan area. On November 1, the regiment’s 1st Battalion took up positions north of Unsan, while the 2nd Battalion moved to guard the Nammyon River valley west of town, and the 3rd Battalion was placed in reserve at the valley’s southern end. Private First Class Daniel James Di Sylvester, who joined the U.S. Army from New Jersey, was a member of Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division. On November 1, 1950, Headquarters Company was supporting 2nd Battalion units in defense near Unsan when the Battalion was hit by an enemy attack and forced to withdraw. Private First Class Di Sylvester went missing during this action. Eventually, Americans released from prison camps reported that PFC Di Sylvester had died of wounds he received during the withdrawal. His remains were not recovered, and he was not identified among the remains returned to U.S. custody after the ceasefire. Today, Private First Class Di Sylvester is memorialized on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
