FORT KNOX, Ky. – The remains of U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Leslie H. Solomon, killed in action during the Korean War, will be interred April 11, 2026, in Sugar Hill, Georgia. Flanigan’s Funeral Home & Crematory will coordinate services and interment.
In December 1950, Solomon was assigned to Headquarters and Battery D, 15th Anti-Aircraft Artillery, Automatic Weapons Battalion, 7th Infantry Division. He was reported missing in action on Dec. 2 when his convoy was ambushed by enemy forces while in route to the vicinity of Hagaru-ri near theJangjin (Chosin) Reservoir, Republic of Korea. The U.S. Army issued a presumptive finding of death on Dec. 31, 1953, and on Jan. 6, 1956, he was declared non-recoverable.
The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency accounted for Solomon April 1, 2025.
