The annual interred Prisoner of War (POW) Ceremony at the EPW Cemetery on the former Fort McClellan is scheduled for November 17, 2024 at 1:30 pm. It honors the 26 German and 3 Italian soldiers who died in captivity during World War II. These soldiers are from several POW camps that were located throughout the southern United States and only four of the interred perished at Fort McClellan. After the war, the others were collected and reinterred in this cemetery with full military honors.
A ‘no-host’ reception will be held at the Cane Creek Golf Course Grill, 66 Galloway Gate Road, Anniston, AL 36205 following the ceremony.
