The Navy Seaman at the age of 18 killed a US destroyer during World War II scattered over 80 years after his death, war officials said on Tuesday.

The US Navy Reserve Seaman 2nd Class Jerome M. Mulleney, 18, 18, was allocated by a Ssennon in the summer of 1944, Defense Pow / Mia Accounting Agency said the release of news. Glennon participated in D-Day on June 6, 1944. Two days after attack, the water water hit the France coast. The ship was trapped and could not be investigated before it was impressed by Artillery Retarnery Barrage on June 10.

The ship sank after being hit by German Barrage. Sailors are maglaney and 24 sailors labeled as scarcely. Mallaney said that he could not find him in May 1949, less than five years after sinking. His name was recorded at the Cambridge American Cemetery Cemetery in England. He is given a purple heart, according to the written Abituary in the end of August.

After World War II in 1945, the command of the American GraVascripts began to find American Service Missing Members during the fight. The agency made a number of French coast, DPAA said. In 1951, the agency had identified five sailors from USS Glennon.

In 1957, Salvagers Est Marie Du Mont, France pulled pieces of USS Glennon on the beach. The pieces were discarded to rip. The local residist found people living in a large part of injury in the front of the ship, said DPAA. American authorities from Mausoleum war in Frankfurt, Germany, took the remains to collect x-9296. Efforts to obtain failures failed, and they entered into the Arderen-American cemetery in Belgium on March 1959.

In 2021, DPAA historians began new efforts to tell sailors from the dead and enter within USS Glennon. On August 2022, X-9296 bodies were fired from Belgian cemetery and passed on to the DPAA laboratory. A study involving analysis of teeth and anthropological anthropolical, and the Mitochondrial analysis and the Y-Chromosomese DNA, points to remains such as Mullaney’s on March 2025.

Mullaney’s Ovituary said it was one of 10 children. All their siblings have died, but he has a high nephew, or cousin and cousins. Abituary said his funeral would be in his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania. He was set up for burial for his parents, Obituary said.
