A 25-year-old prisoner of war from Colorado who died during World War II was finally accounted for in late 2023, and his remains will be buried at a cemetery in Florence this month.
The body of 25-year-old Clifford H. Strickland, a U.S. Army technician fifth grade from Fowler in southeastern Colorado, was officially identified five years after being exhumed from a Philippine cemetery, where he and other POWs had been reburied as unknown soldiers following the end of the war.
