Extract from War Department Letter dated 16th May 1946: “It is revealed that the P-51 plane which he was piloting crashed at Chiao-Tso, China. His plane broke off from a formation of nine, flying eastward. Five planes broke off from the formation and began bombing the railroad bridge, seven miles west of the town, while the remainder continued flying east. At least five bombs were dropped when one plane started on a steep dive. It exploded mid-air: the right wing fell off and the plane dropped to the ground. It was in this location that your son lost his life. His body was recovered by a Kaifeng search team and identified by the watch and ring he wore.” His body was initially interred in the United States Military Cemetery, Shanghai, China, after a full military funeral, before later being repatriated at his Mother’s request to his home town of New Kennington Pennsylvania.
