A surprise attack by enemy forces forced the men to disperse immediately. Repeated efforts to locate Private Tarczynski brought no results. If a missing person has not been accounted for at the termination of twelve months' absence in a missing status, all avail- able information concerning his disappearance is reviewed pursuant to the provisions of Public Law 490, 77th Congress, as amended. Following that review the War Department is authorized to continue the person's missing status or to make a finding of death if the missing person may no longer reasonably be presumed to be living. In the process of reviewing the case of missing persons the War Department gives careful consideration to all pertinent data or evidence which can be collected from any source. Occasionally relatives and friends of missing persons receive communications containing pertinent War Department. If you have received any such communications, it will be greatly appreciated if you will forward the communications or photo- static copies therof to this office. After examination they will be returned to you if you so desire. The War Department is mindful of the anguish you have so long endured and you may rest assured that, without any further request on your part, you will be advised promtly if any additioal information concerning your loved one is received.
