A Kentucky soldier who was declared missing in action during World War II will be laid to rest in Muhlenberg County Wednesday.

The U.S. Army Human Resources Command says U.S. Army PFC Kenneth Dunbar Burgess of Central City will be interred at the Rose Hill Cemetery on May 7. Tuckers Funeral Home will host visitation at 9 a.m. with services at 11 and burial with full military honors to follow.

Burgess was assigned to Company B, Fourth Ranger Battalion, “Darby’s Rangers,” in the Mediterranean Theater. During Operation AVALANCHE, he was reported MIA on September 25, 1943, following a patrol toward the village of Sala, Italy. Burgess was 29 years-old.

The HRC says “Burgess was accounted for by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency on September 13, 2024, after his remains were exhumed in March 2022 from the U.S. Military Cemetery, Nettuno – now Sicily-Rome American Cemetery, Rome, Italy, for laboratory analysis and identification.” A rosette will be placed next to Burgess’s name on the Wall of the Missings at the Sicily-Rome American Cemetery to note that he has been accounted for.

Burgess’s obituary can be found on the Tuckers Funeral Home website.
