SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: ARMY VETERAN

Comments: I joined the 590th at Ft. Lewis about August 1950. When the unit was deployed, I was a member of a 10 man advanced party that flew to Japan. We were billited at the Yokohama Signal Depot until we received further orders to fly to Pusan in a C-47. We pitched tents to accommodate the company when they arrived by ship. After their arrival, the unit convoyed to Seoul where we lived in some damaged buildings that were formerly a university. I left Korea in December 1951.
