Comments: My father, Captain John Yarbrough, came to Korea in 1950 from Camp Fowler, Japan. He was in the Corp of Engineers and proudly wore the 1st Cavalry patch throughout his 20 year career in the U.S. Army. He died in 1981. Does anyone have knowledge of his service in the Korean war through contact with him there? Thank you.

Comments: My fathers records were lost in the fire at the army records center.
I am 59 years old and am trying to put together all I can on my father for my two sons.
I have some photos with signs in the background for this outfit and some notes about Yong Dong Po.
Other than a few ribbons and medals from WWII and
korea I have very little. My father retired in 1964, had a military funeral at Ft. Benning and his ashes were later scattered at sea by the U.S. Navy.
