The Central Identification Point at Yokohama was most likely
staffed by personnel from the Cemetery at Fort McKinley, Manila.

Their level of experience in identifying remains
must have been higher than at Yokohama.

This differed from Identification in the Field
where laundry marks and dog tags
were the sole criteria to identify a man.

The first document is dated 17 December 1948
and is part of Case History 328.

Paragraph 1 states that processing of recovered
Knowns and Unknowns was completed this date.

Recommendations for individual identification were presented and
Sgt Wall's name is in Paragraph 2 ( d ), X-381.

This is followed by the dental charts used to identify Sgt Wall.
