Alfred T. Langevin from Weymouth, Massachusetts, Norfolk county.
Service era: World War II
Date of death: Tuesday, November 7, 1944
Death details: On July 30, 2025, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency identified the remains of U.S. Army Pvt. Alfred T. Langevin, missing from World War II.
Langevin entered the Army from Massachusetts and served in E Company, 2nd Battalion, 109th Infantry Regiment, 28th Infantry Division. On Nov. 6, 1944, he was reported missing in action while on a reconnaissance patrol southwest of Hürtgen, Germany. The exact circumstances of his loss are unknown, but the fighting in this area, part of the Battle of the Hürtgen Forest, involved combat against fortified German positions, and difficult terrain that hampered visibility and movement. Following the end of hostilities, American Graves Registration Command personnel recovered a set of remains from the woods in the area where Langevin was lost. All identification efforts were unsuccessful, and in May 1949, the remains were declared unidentifiable and interred at the Ardennes American Cemetery in Belgium. In June 2021, DPAA disinterred this set of remains and transferred it to the laboratory for analysis. Using modern forensic techniques, scientists then identified Langevin.

Alva J. Carpenter from Weymouth, Massachusetts, Norfolk county.
Service era: World War II
Date of death: Sunday, July 26, 1942
Death details: Following the Allied surrender on the Bataan Peninsula on April 9, 1942, the Japanese began the forcible transfer of American and Filipino prisoners of war to various prison camps in central Luzon, at the northern end of the Philippines. The largest of these camps was the notorious Cabanatuan Prison Camp. At its peak, Cabanatuan held approximately 8,000 American and Filipino prisoners of war that were captured during and after the Fall of Bataan. Camp overcrowding worsened with the arrival of Allied prisoners who had surrendered from Corregidor on May 6, 1942. Conditions at the camp were poor, with food and water extremely limited, leading to widespread malnutrition and outbreaks of malaria and dysentery. By the time the camp was liberated in early 1945, approximately 2,800 Americans had died at Cabanatuan. Prisoners were forced to bury the dead in makeshift communal graves, often completed without records or markers. As a result, identifying and recovering remains interred at Cabanatuan was difficult in the years after the war. Private Alva J. Carpenter entered the U.S. Army from Massachusetts and served with the 698th Ordnance Company in the Philippines during World War II. He was captured in Bataan following the American surrender on April 9, 1942, and died of dysentery on July 26, 1942, at the Cabanatuan Prison Camp in Nueva Ecija Province. He was buried in a communal grave in the camp cemetery along with other deceased American POWs; however, his remains could not be associated with any remains recovered from Cabanatuan after the war. Today, Private Carpenter is memorialized on the Walls of the Missing at the Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines.
