SCRANTON, Pa. (Tribune News Service) — A long journey home is nearly complete for a Marine from West Scranton who died in combat in the Pacific in World War II.

The remains of Pfc. Harold Patrick Hannon, who was 28 years old when he was killed Nov. 20, 1943, during the Battle of Tarawa, will be returned to the city on Wednesday, with a funeral Mass and burial to follow three days later.
