Korean POW/MIA Remains Returned – Funeral – Pfc George Porter
Remains of 1950s POW to be buried
The remains of a Philadelphia soldier declared missing in action during the Korean War have been identified and will be buried this week, the Defense Department said Monday.
Army Pfc. George A. Porter, 21, was taken prisoner Feb. 11, 1951, during the battle of Hoengsong, said the Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office.
Porter, of Battery B, 15th Field Artillery Battalion, was unaccounted for until the 1990s, when North Korea gave the United States more than 200 boxes of remains from the war.
