"Western Wisconsin soldier killed during Korean War accounted for 70 years later"
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A western Wisconsin man who was killed during the Korean War was accounted for on June 20, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced Monday.
The remains of Army Private First-Class Charles A. Dickman, 17, of Cashton, were identified as part of the Korean War Disinterment Project, according to a press release.
Scientists from DPAA used dental and anthropological analysis, as well as chest radiograph comparison and circumstantial evidence to identify Private Dickman's remains.
Private Dickman was a member of Mike Company, 21st Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division during the Korean War. He went missing in action on July 12, 1950, after his unit engaged in defensive actions north of Chochiwon, South Korea.
Due to intense fighting, his body could not be recovered at the time, and there was no evidence that he was a prisoner of war. The Army issued a presumptive finding of death for Private Dickman on Dec. 13, 1953.
After regaining control of Chochiwon in the fall of 1950, the Army recovered remains from the area and sent those that could not be identified to be buried at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, known as the Punchbowl, in Honolulu.
Private Dickman's unidentified remains were buried at the Punchbowl until July 2018, when the DPAA proposed a plan to re-analyze 652 Korean War Unknowns.
Private Dickman will be buried in Cashton on October 21.
