From WKRG 5 CBS News "World War II soldier from Alabama accounted for; will be buried in Spanish Fort."
The Defense Department POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced Jan. 26 that an Alabama soldier killed in action during WW II was identified July 9, 2021.
Army Pfc. Bill Morrison, 29, of Birmingham, Alabama, will be relocated to his home state and buried in Spanish Fort. A date has not been chosen yet, however.
Morrison was assigned to Company G, 2nd Battalion, 110th Infantry Regiment, 28th Infantry Division in November 1944. His unit fought Germans in the Raffelsbrand sector of the Hurtgen Forest in Germany. Morrison was reported KIA on November 8, 1944, and they were unable to recover his body.
After the war ended, the American Graves Registration Command was tasked with investigating and recovering missing American personnel in Europe.
