Pvt. Francis Lupo
There were many newspapers articles out on Private Francis Lupo, a missing action soldier from World War I. The best that I read is from the Washington Post
Private Lupo was killed in action July 20, 1918 in France. He had been in the army less than six months before he was killed. His body was found 3 years ago, along with another body, in an unidentified grave in France. Apparently he had been killed and quickly buried by his unit to await reburial later. He was reburied at Arlington National Cemetery 88 years later. He had no living relatives who remembered him when he was alive.
