Seaman First Class Harold Hardin Elfreich, s/n 2931949, of Evansville, Indiana and the
United States Navy Reserve, was declared killed in action April 12, 1946, after being
missing for a considerable length of time. He was in the South Pacific during World War
II. His status remains missing or buried at sea and his name is honored on the
"Tablets of the Missing" at the Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines. He
was awarded the Air Medal and two Gold Stars.
We found this reference at the Indiana State Library, World War II database but we do not
haev the information since we live in the Philippines. This infor would greatly enhance
our chances of finding the family so we can give them free photos of his grave site. We
hope someone will be grcious enough to help.
