Description

Major C. J. Ramsay's name anchors photo comparison case number 10,407, reported in April 1969. Specialists compared images that might show the missing major against his known photographs. The case number and name together show the system's two faces: bureaucracy and one officer's fate.

Results in such cases were phrased with care, since families and commanders read them closely. A finding could direct searchers, or tell them a lead was dead. Ramsay's file was one among thousands, yet each got the same measured treatment. The paper preserves that treatment at the level of a single named man.
