He was her youngest brother. Robert was born Oct. 22, 1928. He enlisted into the Army in 1947 or 48. All we have is that Gen. Walker, the Eighth Army commander, rushed the 25th. infantry and 1st.

It was during this action that Sergeant Besemer was listed missingwhile giving first aid to his fallen comrades. His fellow soldiers searched the area after the battle and found no remains.He is not on the Johnson list or any other prisoner of war list he was decalired dead. Also the Silver Star was presanted to my grandmother in honor of Robert. If anyone knew him, or knows anything about him please let me know. Thank You. Karen Baker

Dad in unit

We know he was killed in a military hostile action, but other than that? We never really got to know him. He served behind enemy lines in Burma during WWII and is in history books about that area of the war. But we'd like to know more about who he was as a person. We never got to have our dad. Hopefully, someone is still alive who might have even a crumb of information about him. We'd be so appreciative. It would help to close a chapter in our lives.
