Henry Burton Case is an United States Army soldier who went missing in action on July 20, 1918. He enlisted from Arizona and was assigned as a Private to the 91st Division, 363rd Infantry Regiment.
The 91st Division formed on August 5, 1917 at Camp Lewis, Washington and departed for England in the summer of 1918. According to the Doughboy MIA Database, he was buried at sea, suggesting he disappeared and presumably died during the overseas trip to England, but few details are available in his case and no images of him are available.
After his disappearance, he was awarded the Purple Heart and presumably the World War I Victory Medal. His name is also memorialized at the Suresnes American Cemetery and Memorial in Suresnes, France.
Case remains part of the 4,223 Americans who remain unaccounted for during World War I. Additionally, he is one of eight Arizonans who are unaccounted for during World War I. Their cases are not under investigation by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency.
