GUWAHATI The mortal remains of Major General Harry Kleinbeck Pickett, one of America’s most decorated officers who fought in both World War I and World War II, are being returned home to the United States from West Bengal’s Darjeeling.
He would be reburied at the Arlington National Cemetery, an official statement said.
Major General Pickett died in 1965 while visiting Darjeeling and was buried in the hill town. His family and the U.S. government have closely coordinated with Indian officials for the return of his remains to the United States.
