Comments: I'm looking for information on my father, Leroy Lierz. He never talked about his service years and passed away in 1979. I know he ran a crane so I figure he had to be in a construction unit. I saw a picture of the 62nd Engineers on the 50th Anniversary Commemorative Website and I believe one of the gentlemen is him. I'm just looking for more information on this time in his life. Possibly photos or just some idea of what he did or went through.

Comments: Eugene Monaghan was assigned to "A"Co., of the 62nd Engineers but he was transfered to a Combat Engineer unit. Shortly after his arrival in the new unit he was captured by the North Koreans and sent to a POW camp called "Mining Camp", whehe he subsequently died. If anyone in "A"Company remembers Eugene Monaghan or has any additional information about him I would certainly a message from these persons.

Comments: A REALLY GREAT GROUP OS KOREAN WAR SITES. ALL OF YOUR EFFORTS ARE MUCH APPRECIATED.

I'm glad that I found the site. I have returned
to it many times looking for particular
information about the time frame I spent in Korea, (1950-51).

I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to view and make copies of the situation maps of that period.
Very often we were not aware of what the situation was on any given day or time period.

I appreciate the opportunity to list the date and location of the annual reunion of my unit, 62nd Engineer Construction Battalion. The U. S. Military History Institute is conducting a major survey project to acquire source material on the Korean War.

To obtain a Korean War Survey questionaire or further information, please write to the U.S. Army Military Institute, ATTN: Angela S. Lehr, coordinator, Carlisle Barracks, PA 17013-5008
or call: (717) 245-3225. My many thanks to the Barkers for their sustained efforts.
