Notes

Pvt. Putnam was initially listed as Missing in Action. Following the war, his remains were recovered and identified. He is buried in a private cemetery in Indiana. His name is permanently inscribed on the Tablets of the Missing at Florence 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.
