WASHINGTON –
The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced today that U.S. Army Pfc. Harold B. Dulyea, 23, killed during the Korean War, was accounted for May 30, 2025.
In July 1950, Dulyea was a member of Company F, 2nd Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division. He was reported missing in action on July 25 after the Battle of Yongdong in the vicinity of Yongdong, Republic of Korea (South Korea). Based on testimonies from returning prisoners of war, it was determined that Dulyea was a prisoner of war but was not among the POWs repatriated after the armistice agreement was signed on July 27, 1953. The Army determined that he had died in captivity and on Feb. 25, 1954, issued a presumptive finding of death.
This is an initial release. The complete accounting of Dulyea's case will be published once the family receives their full briefing.
