A white marble monument shaped like a headstone and over 10 feet in length inscribed in both English and Chinese.

1st  Lt Morton Sher, assigned to the 76th Fighter Squadron, 23d Fighter Group ('The Flying Tigers'), 14th Air Force, took off from Hengyang City in a P-40 Warhawk on 20 August 1943 on a combat mission and crashed into a rice paddy in Hengshan County, Hunan Province, P.R.C. On that day, Chinese farmers in the vicinity witnessed a burning aircraft that crashed into a rice paddy and continued to burn upon impact. His squadron arranged for a memorial stone to be erected at the crash site.

On the day of the incident, Chinese soldiers arrived to secure the crash site but were soon withdrawn. Later, a Chinese Air Force (CAF) officer arrived to investigate the crash and search for any remains; he found none and departed. Several days after the departure of the CAF officer, three Americans (likely members of the 76th Fighter Squadron) from 1st Lt Sher's home station of Hengyang City arrived to investigate the crash. They did not recover any remains. 

His squadron arranged for a memorial stone to be erected at the crash site and he was remembered on the Wall of the Missing at the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial

In 2025 the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) announced that they had identified the body of 1LT Sher.  He is now buried in his family cemetery in Greenville, SC.
