Soldier Accounted For From Korean War (Manring, G.)

WASHINGTON  –  

The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced today that U.S. Army Master Sgt. George C. Manring, 21, killed in action during the Korean War, was accounted for March 17, 2025.

In September 1950, Manring was assigned to Battery B, 57th Field Artillery Battalion, 31st Regimental Combat Team, 7th Infantry Division. He was reported missing in action on Dec. 6, 1950, in the vicinity of Hagaru-ri near the Chosin Reservoir, Republic of Korea. The U.S. Army did not receive any indication that he was ever held as a prisoner of war and with no evidence of his continued survival, issued a presumptive finding of death on Dec. 31, 1953.

This is an initial release. The complete accounting of Manring's case will be published once the family receives their full briefing.
