According to Johnson's list, he was killed in action as a POW on 14 July 1950. What were the circumstances surrounding his death and which camp was he interned at?

He was with the 24th Infantry Division, 63rd Field Artillery Battalion (as possibly a truck driver) at the time.

I was discharge in March 1948 but I am very interested in knowing what happened to my old outfit when it entered the Korean War. Some of my friends might have still been in the service when the war broke out and I would like to know if I could see the names of the guys in Service Battery when the war broke out.

Comments: I am a nephew of MSGT Kenneth H Stokes who was reported "killed in action" on 14 July 1950 while serving with the 63 FAB, 24th Infantry Division. Kenneth's body was never found and we have never known what happened to him. Did he die in battle that day? Did he die later as a POW? Is there anyone who can tell me about him, or give me some idea what happened to the 63rd FAB that terrible July which might suggest what his fate was.

My dad (Kenneth's brother) also told me that some reports (unconfirmed) may place his death as 27 Sep 1950

Can anyone help?

From: RGNN42a@prodigy.com
Sender: PRBond@gnn.com (P. Bond) 

Subject: Korean POW/MIA

I am trying to find anyone with information about my uncle, CPL 
John Philip Kendig, who was assigned to 24th Div, 63rd Field 
Artillery,Battery B, who was listed as mia on 14 July, 1950 near 
Sang Yo-Ri(?) 

He was later listed as dying of pneumonia on 5  January, 1951, in an 
unnamed POW camp.  He was from York, Pa., and I believe his id number is
RA13 301 429.  Where or how do I start looking for information.  My 
family would really like to know more, but information they got from the
army is sketchy. Any assistance or direction is appreciated.

Thank You, 

Philip Bond
