His whereabouts are unknown from then until he was identified being located in "The Bean Camp" POW camp in early May 1951. In late May 1951 he was in "The Mining Camp" POW camp about 50 miles southeast of Pyongyang, North Korea. He died there in August 1951 and was buried by his Chinese captors in an unknown location. I am looking for any information about him during his time with Battery A or during his time of imprisonment.

Casualty list 52 Field Artillery Bn

From: Hallahan96@Cox.net
Subject: (KIA, WIA, MIA, POW) 

Dear Ted:

My first battalion commander in Korea, LtCol. M.O. Perry, asked me to
take over the task of battalion historian. One critical element of such
a unit history of course is the casualty list. Subject FA Bn was the
first in the Korean War and was part of Task Force Smith,
1st Battalion, 21st Infantry,24th Infantry Division) during those
terrible days of July 1950.

Lee Gladwin of the National Archives told me how to access the Korean
War Project for a casualty list of the 52 FA Bn, which I believe was
extracted from Record Group 407 of the National Archives.  However when
I attempted to access that data base, a statement appeared the said the
owner's permission would be required. Would you please tell me how I
might obtain permission to obtain subject casualty list.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
Robert F. Hallahan
Colonel, U.S. Army,Retired

---from the KWP----

We sent via ftp and mail the full KIA/MIA list of the 52nd FAB. Now
have the entire WIA list done as well. 

POW - Cpt Nugent

I have found the Korean Web Page on the Internet.

My father served in Korea with a British Brigade from August 1950-May
1951, and would like to confirm if possible, the dates of death or
release from imprisonment of the following AMERICAN officers.

CAPTAIN AMBROSE NUGENT , 52ND. F.A.B. - 24TH. DIVISION

Doug,

New Hampshire; assigned to Hq, 1st Bn, 34th Inf, 24th Div; died in
prison camp 7 Aug 1951. CPT Nugent, retired as a Major, was assigned to
Hq Btry, 52d FA Bn, 24th Div; repatriated 1 Sep 1953; died at age 78 in

Ft. Sill, OK, for collaborating but was acquited of all charges.

name is Leon G. Schwarz.

I will give out his address only to those who are genuinely interested
in contacting my father to talk over 'the old days'.  He recv'd a bronze
star while he served in Korea.  He has a lot of stories to tell about
certain movements and battles that he was in.  He likes to talk about
these things and is very proud to have served.  I am very proud of my 
father and would like to see only good come of this.

My father served in Korea from 1950-52. He died in 1994 and never really
shared any stories with his children. 

Im taking advantage of this technology to find out some of the battles 
he fought in.


All I remember is that he talked alot about the 105 howitzer and he lost
his hearing in his right ear because one day they got an order to fire 
200 rounds. After that his right ear was bleeding and there was no 
hearing. 

He also mentioned something about this enemy aircraft that would fly 
over at night. I think he would refer to it as "Charlie???".
