Military officials said on Tuesday that the soldier who lost work during a water mission in World War II was calculated.

US Army PFC. Robert L. was appointed. Bryant, 23, for the company B, at the Fourth Guardian Battalion, as part of a group known as Darby Rangers, POW/MIA Accounting Agency said. The battalion was trained by Colonel William Darby, who also created a battalion later growing into the Rangers of the Modern US Army, The army said. The battalion was active at the Mediterranean Theater, which included Italy, North Africa and the Middle East.

Bryant was one of 170,000 allies who were arrested in the Avalanche operation, when the forces invaded Italy in a series of amphibious landing operations between September 9 and 18 September 1943. On September 23, he was reported to be lost at work after his four -man patrols near Peter, Italy.

DPAA said that the Brian’s body had not been recovered, and the German forces have never reported that he was a war prisoner. The Ministry of War announced that it is not refundable on July 19, 1949. Its official telegram has informed his parents that he was killed, according to a local newspaper piece participating in DPAA.

The name of Bryant was registered on the walls of the missing in the American cemetery, Sicily in Netono, Italy.

After World War II, American cemeteries began to work to restore missing American individuals from all over the world. In 1947, investigators were found to register in a cemetery in the Italian village of San Nicolas. The remains are set as X-152 NAPLes, and since the remains cannot be related to nearby, they were entered under this name in the American cemetery Sicily.

In 2019, DPAA historian who studies American losses during the Avalanche process collected multiple records that showed that Bryant was lost near the place where the remnants of X-152 were discovered. In 2022, the remains were not established and sent to the DPAA laboratory to determine the identity.

Scientists with DPAA used anthropology and teeth analysis to study the remains. DNA analysis of mitochondria and circumstantial evidence was also used to confirm the remains as a Brian. DPAA said the descendants of World War II Rangers Inc, and Associazione Salerno 1943, and the national archives at College Park also provided “my research help.”

The remaining family members were informed of Bryant to determine his identity. A rose will be placed next to his name on the walls of the missing in the American cemetery, Sicily, Rome, to indicate that it has been calculated, and will be buried in April 2025.
