comments: Re:  Army Sgt(T) Yoshio Ajifu, Korean War Vet

I am researching information for SFC William D. Ajifu, an Army
servicemember on active duty in Seoul Korea.  SFC Ajifu recently
discovered that his father Yoshio Ajifu served in Korea during wartime,
as indicated on his DD 214.  Decorations and awards include AOM(Japan),
Korean Svc Med w/6 Br. Stars, ROK Pres Unit Cit, 2 0/s Bars, GCM, Nat 
Def Svc Med, UN Svc Med.

However, the information available is very incomplete.  The only unit
cited is Hq Co, Cp Tokyo 8232 AU, APO 613. This was the 8232d Army Unit
stationed in Japan 1951-53.  The Army Center of Military History 
maintains no TDA unit records.

SFC Ajifu is very interested in any information on Yoshio Ajifu’s 
service in Korea, especially unit assignments.  

Any person with knowledge of Yoshio Ajifu;s service or advice on how to
research this please contact me by E-Mail or regular mail:
