Last documented facts printed; settling files named · Osceola
The class is the person whose record stops short of home. Osceola's shape of it is not a vanished airman but the two certain war dead of the Wars leg, and their two different endings print whole. Harry B. Kincaid Jr. — the record is rich and the ending is overseas: Technical Sergeant, 736th Bombardment Squadron, 454th Bombardment Group (Heavy), serial 35557270, died of wounds May 27, 1945 — after VE Day, a tension the Wars leg prints as consistency-noted, not resolved — buried at Lorraine American Cemetery, St. Avold, France, Plot D, Row 43, Grave 9, Air Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster. The attribution conflict stands open beside him, unmerged: the Army Air Corps Museum's extracts place a Harry Kincaid among Mishawaka enlistments; the county veterans index attributes Harry B. Kincaid Jr. to Penn–Osceola, and he is claimed on the index (DELTA DF-27). He never came home because he is buried where the Army buried him; the record loses nothing but the town loses the grave. James Noble Kalil is the record's true loss: PFC, A Company, 1st Amphibian Tractor Battalion, 3rd Marine Division, killed in action in South Vietnam on August 18, 1965, aged twenty-one, his name at Panel 2E, Line 58 of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial — and no burial place for him was found in any open source searched, no province or circumstance of his death is stated in any source read, and his own battalion association's memorial page omits him for his death date, an omission the Wars leg prints unexplained. Last documented fact: the federal casualty file's line — OSCEOLA · 18AUG65 · HOSTILE, KILLED.
Named gap: Kalil's burial, his August 1965 obituary, and the place and circumstance of his death — settlers: the Tribune's August 1965 obituary file and VA gravesite records; the Wall of Faces search by home city Osceola, Indiana; the 1st AmTrac Battalion command chronology for August 1965 (NARA / Texas Tech Virtual Vietnam Archive).
