Museum Refuses To Accept A World War II Soldier’s Uniform After Searching Through Its Pockets

Remains Of Marine

The missing remains of Staff Sgt. Thomas L. Meek of Lisbon La. and Capt. Henry S. White of Kansas City, Mo. are discovered some 70 years later after the crash in the South Pacific. The plane crashed near the coral reefs and until 2010 there was no evidence about their missing remains. The plane took off from the Turtle Bay Airfield on Espiritu Santo Island in New Hebrides in the month of July 1943 but nothing could be heard after that.
