The report linked says that remains were identified as members of that B17 crew, but just could not distinguish who was who. Presumably that means that he was listed as killed but unidentified?

The family can now have proper closure and S/Sgt Atkinson can now lie in peace, knowing that he has finally been ‘found’.
It does now realise a question as well.
Do I take it this poor chap was listed as ‘missing’ in one of the cemeteries and now that he has been ‘found’ I take it that any references to him missing at the cemeteries would have to be rectified /removed?
