Disinterred Unknown

In January 2016, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency exhumed the remains of an Unknown Soldier buried in Plot B Row 5 Grave 66 at Epinal American Cemetery with the belief that an identification could be made. Laboratory analysis and circumstantial evidence were used to positively identify the remains as belonging to Capt. Albert L. Schlegel, 335th Fighter Squadron, 4th Fighter Group, and lost his life August 28, 1944. His name remains permanently inscribed on the Tablets of the Missing at Lorraine American Cemetery.
