WASHINGTON  –  

The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced today that U.S. Army Pvt. Mack Kidd, 20, killed during World War II, was accounted for Feb. 14, 2025.

In the summer of 1944, Kidd was assigned to Company K, 3rd Battalion, 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional). After arriving at the recently captured airfield in Myitkyina, Burma, Kidd’s battalion was advancing south from the villages of Mankrin and Radhapur against heavily fortified Japanese positions north of Myitkyina. Kidd was reported to have been killed during the battle and was declared non-recoverable in August 1950.

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