Theodore A. Jacobsen is an United States Army soldier who went missing in action on October 12, 1918 during World War I.
Case[]
Theodore Jacobsen was born on June 23, 1889 in Denmark. He was living in Fern, Wisconsin when he enlisted from Arizona and assigned as a Corporal to the 82nd Division, 326th Infantry Regiment. He was reportedly killed in action west of Sommerance in France on October 12, 1918, but few details are available in his case and no images of him are available.
After his disappearance and presumed death, he was awarded the Purple Heart and presumably the World War I Victory Medal. His name is also memorialized at the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery and Memorial in Romagne-sous-Montfaucon, France.
Jacobsen 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.
