Private First Class William J. Winchester was twenty years old when he was reportedly captured by the Volunteer Forces at Prisoner of War Camp #5. He later died as a prisoner of war (POW) on February 28th, 1951, as witnessed by another POW. It wasn't until 2019 when the Winchester Family received news that William's remains were properly identified. William's grandchildren as well as James' children were notified and proceeded to honor his legacy by holding a funeral service at Memorial park Cemetery on August 10th, 2021.
