Comments: All ambulance drivers, 1960-1961, I think it was A Company. Some of us were extended by the "Berlin Crisis", especially David Brown. He set fire to the bulletin board in the hospital to convince Admin that he was a little loopy, and should thus be sent home. Didn't work.

Cpl.Leonard J. Smith, Medic, serving with I believe the
7th Infantry Div. I do have further information, but not at hand.
He was captured close to the Manchurian Border, right before
the first attack by the Red Chinese, in 1951.
Details:
Name: Cpl Leonard J. Smith RA 14290427
Transferred to Korea: Sept. 1950
Unit: 7th Medical Bn 17th Reg. 7th Inf. Div.
Hostile Action: Onchon-Ni 9 October 1950, for which he was awarded the
Bronze Star, posthumously. The only thing mentioned in the news clipping
is that the troops had penetrated to the Manchurin Border, in North East Korea,
a few days after the 1st attack by Red Chinese.
He was reported missing 24 November 1950, and was presumed dead
after more than a year, and was reported to have died in North Korean
Prison Camp. At some point he was promoted to Sgt.
I do not know if this was before he was presumed dead or not.
Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,

His file shows that he was MIA on Nov 24, 1950. Later declared dead in
