Re: S/Sgt William C. Barber - 26 March 1944 - Broadway - L-1

Thanks for your informative replies.

Apparently the situation is the same for S/Sgt William H. Neff, who collided with S/Sgt Ngon Tom on 10 Feb 1944, with both killed.
Story on p. 11 in Ex-CBI-Roundup (first link in my above post) says Sgt Neff was only found four days later and was buried beside wreckage of plane.
Evidently his remains were not recovered or identified post war. He's also still on the MIA list, while his gravestone (Rock Island, Illinois) is a memorial. He's also on the Manila Memorial.

Regards,

Leendert
