POW D Co Camp 5

Comments: My father was a brave, proud, man who rarely talked about his Korean experiences - it has been only after his death (October 18, 1998) that my sister and I have been conducting research. My father received numerous medals including the purple heart (which were never presented to him)and is buried in Andersonville National Cemetery. We are looking for any information that would help us record the history of our father and our hero! Any references, resources, names or other information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

CHEJEDO PRISON DUTY

Comments: I am trying to find out any information that someone may have about a prison riot that occurred on Chejedo island. My father was with the first groups of 19th Infantry Regiment soldiers to relieve the ROK soldiers from guarding enemy POW's. He was with a heavy weapons platoon manning a heavy 50 cal. He indicated that there was an incident that an individual opened up the gates of the prison and he attempted to save the individual because the prisoners were rushing out to harm the individual and remembers falling on top of the individual fixed bayonet on his M-1 up. He said he came to 7 days later in a hospital. Does anyone recall an incident like this? My father recently passed away. During the course of his treatment he received an MRI of the head. I asked the attending physician about any wounds to the back of his head(because he had indicated something had happened to the back of his head during the prison incident)the MRI revealed a significant amount of scarring indicating shrapnel to the back of the head. He never received a purple heart for wounds but as evidenced by his MRI he obviously was. Does anyone recall an incident that resembles what I have described? If anyone has any knowledge of this type of incident or knew Pete DeKoter during his duty on Chejedo please let me know. Keep up the good work!

As the troops pushed North I was assigned to a forward position (I think with 3rd Bat)to make up a five man team with two ammunition trucks. We moved with the front line troops as an emergency ammunition supply support group in case of "cut off" and/or surrounded by the North.
