2 more US soldiers from WWII get monument rosette after remains identified

A pair of World War II memorials in France inscribed with the names of missing American troops had a bronze marker added to them this week, signifying that two more U..S. service members had been accounted for.

On Wednesday, the American Battle Monuments Commission placed a rosette next to the name of Army Cpl. Robert A. Bartlett on the Wall of the Missing at Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer.

A day earlier, another marker was inserted near the name of Pfc. Alcario V. Flores on a similar wall at the Epinal American Cemetery in Dinozé, in northeastern France.

They’re the latest in a recent uptick in positive identifications by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency of American military personnel who fought in Europe decades ago.
