Keywords: My great uncle was killed in Korea on Sept 16 ,1951, although i never met him i heard so much about him, he was in the army and got out but rejoined the service in 1950 because he was about to have a son whom he wanted to make sure he could provide for his child. If anyone knows anything about Sgt Johnson please let me know anything about him. he was from Norfolk Va.

Iris Hall wrote on 2007-10-16 16:40:38.0

Comments: My father-in-law Private David Earl Hall passed away in July 2006. He also never talked about his time in Korea. Dad was a great photographer and was very friendly with everyone in Camp Hakata, Japan ( West lower Honshu side near Korea) during 1949-1952. He meet his wife, Mineko there and married her in July 1951. We found a scrapbook of names and photos of his friends along with a few items his mother saved from the newspaper. I cannot say whether they were all in B company or not.

Here is a list of the last name or full names as I have found them on the photos: Pat Ambercrombie, ? Alveraze (not sure of spelling) (from Puerto Rico), Guy Banner, Ronald K. Davis, Charles Debois, ? Dawson, Capt. ? Dexter, ? Griffis, Sgt. ? Hale, Johnny Hay, Sgt. ? Halzey, John Hughs, ? Jimenize, Lee Morton, ? Maylove or Malone, Jessie Meirs , ? Osolia, ? Miller, PFC ? Mikell (and wife), PFC ? Pedro (black man), ? Shemial, ? Sutton, Jay Twin or Twiss or Twist, Alex Vinstram, ? Williams, Sgt. ? White, Joe Wszlok, Cpl. ? Pina (looks Hispanic), Cpl. ? Hal, ? Upp, and ? Kadaine. Some photos do not have names and I am trying to find out who they are. Some of these names are just listed in a newspaper clipping with no photos. Please contact me by e-mail first so I can send a digital photo. After you verify that it is indeed your Korean vet then I will send you the original photo. I am trying to do this to Honor my Father-in-Law so please be honest.
