7th Armd Div Patch

Spare a minute
to think
of the young who didn't grow up,
and how young they looked when they died,
and how no one will ever remember them looking tired and middle-aged
or even be bored by tiresome recitals of the time of their youth.

- - - - Russell Baker "How to Observe Dec. 7" (NY Times, Dec. 1965)

This is a list of all men of each element of the 7th Armored Division who died in World War II and have never been found and identified.
The list is chronological by actual date of death (not always the same as official date) of death, so that they are also roughly grouped geographically to facilitate investigations in any particular area.

So they will not be Forgot
There is a word
Which bears a sword
It hurls its barbed syllables,-
At once is mute again.
But where it fell
The saved will tell
On patriotic day,
Some epauletted brother
Gave his breath away.
Wherever runs the breathless sun,
Wherever roams the day,
There is its noiseless onset,
There is its victory!
Behold the keenest marksman!
The most accomplished shot!
Time s sublimest target
Is a soul forgot !
 ----- Emily Dickinson

    Soldiers reported seeing his remains, so that it seems likely that he was recovered but never identified and thus buried as an Unknown. Click here for web page of all information related to his death.

    He was seriously wounded by the same explosive round that killed Maj. Wells (above). Those captured with him carried him on a door about 9 miles toward Germany, as POWs. They came to a German Field Hospital, where the German doctors tried to save him. But he died at the field hospital and was probably buried there. His remains may still at that site or may have been recovered as German after the war and then buried in a German military cemetery as an Unbekannt.

  41. Bonds, Howard Thomas (17 Tank) - Rank: Pvt. - Last Day on Duty: 1944-Oct-04 - Last Duty Location: between two woods west of Kijkuit and north of Castle Hattert, east of Overloon, Holland - Died Actual: 1944-Oct-04 - Died Official: 1944-Oct-04
    7th Armored Division Association Historian Wesley Johnston's research leads him to believe that Bonds, Davenport, and Tompkins were in a tank that was hit west of Kijkuit and north of de Hattert and that their remains were probably entirely destroyed in the fire within the tank. (NOTE: He has made a detailed map of the movements and events of the task force, which identifies their approximate location when they were hit.) However the IDPF for Bonds does say that he was last seen leaving the tank. So there is a possibility that his remains were buried and/or recovered. But there is no such mention on the same form (OQMG 371) for Tompkins.
  42. Davenport, William G. (17 Tank) - Rank: Cpl. - Last Day on Duty: 1944-Oct-04 - Last Duty Location: between two woods west of Kijkuit and north of Castle Hattert, east of Overloon, Holland - Died Actual: 1944-Oct-04 - Died Official: 1944-Oct-04

    Based on the recovery, as late as 1977, of others in his company lost in this combat, it is likely that his remains are within a 1/2 mile by 300 yard section of land along the Kamphoefweg (a road), just west of Overloon. In September 2014, DPMO historians Christine Cohn and Ed Burton met with local WWII historian Piet Peters and with Sieb Willemsen who in 1977 discovered the two most-recently found sets of remains. There is hope for a return visit in November 2015.

    His remains may be those of Solers X-43, since X-43 was recovered near Paris in his tank which had been sent by rail for salvage. The Paris tank and his tank had the same number. DPAA has approved disinterment of Solers X-43 (which were buried at Epinal B-47-21.

    An 88mm shell hit his tank directly at his bow gunner position, and the tank then burned. The one surviving crew member (the driver) had no memory of what happened. One crew member was initially recovered as an Unknown and later identified. A search of all Unknowns within 100 above and 100 below that X-number found none that matched Slate. His body was most likely shattered by the initial shell impact and then cremated inside the tank in the ensuing fire and are probably unrecoverable.

    As a POW at Stalag III-A, recently hospitalized, he and all other POWs were marched by the Germans about a mile west of the camp, fleeing on-coming Soviet troops approaching from the east. The Soviet troops caught up to the column and began a gun battle with the Germans, during which he and seven other POWs were killed. He is presumably buried at the site of the gun battle, about a mile west of the site of Stalag III-A. A 2012 DPMO mission made good local contacts for a future return mission, but at this time there is no date yet set for the second mission.
