My late father kept a box which I believe belonged to Captn Gross, sent as a postal gift I assume,from the MacVeans in N.Y. (father worked for the Royal Family at Windsor Castle,but I assume this has no connection) I never asked him about it as I didn't know the box existed until his death in '82. He had all his 'treasures' stored in it! I tucked it away in the attic and never gave it another thought. However, now I would like to return it to the family as I am sure they would love to have it safely back home rather than gathering dust in an English attic! My sons will probably toss it in the bin when I'm gone, which would be sad. The info was painted inside the lid and the box is wooden, approx 9"x11"x4" and painted dark green. Just wish I'd been able to ask him about it before he passed away!

Was transferred to Okinawa in July 1954. Never got to find out how cold a Korean winter was. If it was colder than the one I spent at Fort Leonard Wood, this California boy might not have made it! Left Okinawa in August 1955. Worked at asphalt plant on K-8 and rock crushing plant on Kadena AFB.We lived in squad tents in Korea and quonset huts in Bisha Gawa. Would like to hear from others who served at that time. Keywords: 808th EAB H/S Co.
