Soldier to be buried 60 years after dying as POW

[John Szalay]

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A soldier will be buried in an Ogden cemetery on
April 30, some 60 years after he died at a Korean prisoner of war camp.

Lt. Jack J. Saunders will be buried in Aultorest Memorial Park next to the
grave of his wife, LaRelle, after a laboratory at Hickam Field in Hawaii
positively identified his remains, the Deseret News of Salt Lake City
reported.

Saunders, who was born in Clearfield in 1924, served in World War II and
was called back into action during the Korean War. According to the Army,
he became missing in action in February 1951 while his unit was breaking a
roadblock near Hoensong in what is now South Korea. The Army thinks he died
in April 1951 as a result of maltreatment and malnutrition.
