Notes

Machinist Murray was killed in a plane crash in 1944. The aircraft was recovered in 1970 and his remains were identified. His name is permanently engraved on the Walls of the Missing at Manila American Cemetery

When an individual’s remains have been accounted for by the U.S. Department of Defense, a rosette is placed next to the name on the Wall/Tablet/Court of the Missing to mark that the person now rests in a known gravesite.
