Korean POW Camp Location Sought:

The Defense Prisoner of War/Missing in Action Office (DPMO) is seeking 
information on the location of a POW camp or holding area in North Korea
between Pyongyang and the Yalu River named Camp Desoto.

While Korean War POW Camps were designated numerically ie: Camp 1,
Camp 2, etc, by Chinese Volunteers and the North Korean Army, American 
prisoners often gave the camps a name.  If anyone knows the location of 
the camp or the name of the town nearby, please call 
Mr. InSung O. Lee, DPMO China/Korea Research Analyst, collect at:
703-602-2202, Ext 228.

Note: Mr. Lee is also in the process of identifying KW POWs who were
last seen alive and left behind in North Korea.  If there are other 
repatriated POWs who know any information pertaining to this topic, 
please have them pass the information to him. 

From Mr. Lee: 
Our office is interested in attending EX-POW reunions and KW Veterans 
Association meetings to do further research on KW cases (POW/MIA/KIA). 
Can you publicize in your WEB so that we may be able to establish 
contact with various KW Veterans/KW related unit reunions/organizations.

I have been in contact with EX-KW POW Association but would also 
like to contact or attend meetings involving 1CD, 2ID, 3ID, 
MARDIV, AF and other KW unit reunions.

We would like to send the research teams to conduct interviews and 
collect invaluable KW unaccounted for personnel information.

Ted -- I am taking a wild ride and will try to locate some POW who were

There were a small group of wounded who we carried and took care of. 

When we were about to start the march north  the Chinese said they 
would set the wounded  free. They were going to have two G.I. stay with
then until the americans picked them up.

We all exchanged addresses with each other, not knowing who would go 
with the wounded.  I later found out that they contacted my parents and
they went to visit them at an army hospital. 

If by some chance there are some of that group out there and remember

His home town is actually Platte City, Missouri which is in Platte

I think there is only a faint possibility that our brothers knew each
other.  Ralph was in K/21/24 and Bobby was in A/34/24. Bobby apparently
died soon after surviving the Death March.  Ralph also survived the
Death March and died 5/15/51.  I'm sure you will be receiving more

I have just finished reading "In Enemy Hands" by Rev. Larry Zellers, a
civilian POW (missionary) who took the same terrible journey as Bobby
and Ralph ... survived the Death March and remained a POW until
repatriation in 1953.----It is authentic right down to every graphic
detail. Took me a long time to finish reading it. It was so emotional,
knowing the horror my brother and all the others endured.

When he returned from Korea in 1953, he wrote down as many details as
he could remember.  But, it was only a few years ago that he finally
published the book.  It can be purchased from Larry

Sandy Strait's Book

From:	LARRYZELLERS@SBCGLOBAL.NET (LARRY A ZELLERS)

Date: 97-07-03 

Shorty, Tim and Rose,

The book, "What Happened to American Prisoners of War in Korea" by Sandy
Strait arrived yesterday afternoon and I have just had time to give it a
quick read. Actually, as the cover of the book states, Sandy Strait is
not the author in the usual sense of that word. The cover reads:
"Compiled by Sandy Strait."  In other words, except for a few places in
the book where the author gives her opinion, practically all of the
stories were written by in the first person ex-POWs and are left just
as they wrote them. I have no objections to that approach, and I must
say Strait did a good job in selecting the material that went into the
book. Several ex-POWs, including Ed Shiftiest and Johnnie Johnson, have
written stories for the book, and I learned many things about both of
these men that I did not know before.   
   
There are several lists in the book: Johnnie's list, Operation Little
Switch and Operation Big Switch, the latter two having been compiled by
Sgt. Andrew (Chief) Aguirre, U.S.M.C.R., former Korean War POW, from
news reports in 1953. Then there is "Honor Roll of Forgotten
Americans," distributed by the POW Network. It is located at:

 http://www.asde.com/~/pownet

Another list: "The Final Honor Roll Korean War Casualties, 1950-1954"
[yes 1954].  Again, this list was put together by Mary and Chuck
Schantag from the KOREAN CONFLICT CASUALTY FILE, 1950-1957, and RECORDS
OF THE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE RECORD GROUP 330, NATIONAL
ARCHIVES, WASHINGTON, DC. 

There is one very controversial statement--at least one with which I
took issue--in the book made by an ex-POW named Harold Kaschko
regarding the actions of  President Dwight Eisenhower during World War
II. The statement has nothing to do with the Korean War, and does not
detract from the overall quality of the book. 

The book with its first-person stories and its lists and copies of
documents is very interesting and should also prove useful to those
doing research.

Witness to War

 
"Witness to War: Korea" which included a few pages about Gerry Fink,
another Marine pilot. The book did include a citation for 'The Problems
of US Marine Corps POWs in Korea'by Major James A. MacDonald Jr,

TURNING HOSTILITY INTO FRIENDSHIP

A former military photographer named Bian Zhenxia, who was in the 
Political Department of the Chinese 9th Army Group, published a book 
in 1994 entitled:

TURNING HOSTILITY INTO FRIENDSHIP - '"UNITED NATIONS FORCES" PRISONERS 
OF WAR IN THE KOREAN WAR.

Bian often visited the POW camps and his book is a history of the 
Chinese POW camp system.  Prior to the publishing of his book, Bian 
had part of the book published in the Chinese People's Liberation Army 
bi-monthly literary magazine KUN LUN.

This part concerned the escorting of a group of POWs from the 3rd 
Infantry Division, 7th Infantry Division and 1st Marine Division who

I just received another reply to an inquiry I had left on LIFE's message
board a couple of months ago when I was attempting to locate a source
 for back issues of 5/11/53 and 7/31/50.  It occurred to me that some
of you may also be interested in obtaining these issues which contain
photos of our POWs (including Tiger Survivors) in the early days of the
War.

Arlington Cemetary Burial Practices

IMPORTANT:

--- from continuing dialogue---

The House had extended hearings on Arlington burial practices and the
outcome is fantastic for vets who were POW and WIA, etc.

They must honor requests from former POW's and WIA and have 24 hours
to respond and within 48 hours arrangements must be made.

All you need is proof of status, his DD214, etc and it will happen.

All the best.
