Seeking info Virgil Lee Hodge 82nd AAAW HQ BTRY 2nd Infantry Div. Pow 1Dec1950 Kunu-ri, North Korea

Comments: Korean War Project Key No: 13433 He's my uncle, my mothers brother. I'm seeking information from those vets who may have known him, and what happened to him. The family has no information from the Army about the circumstances in which he was captured or what pow camp he was in. He died 31Dec1951.

I've read several of the posts on this site, and I've found several posts from others about lost loved ones involved in fighting near Kunu-ri on 1Dec1950.

I'm wondering what happened there, anyone have any info?

LOOKING FOR MEMBERS OF BATTERY 'D' 82ND AAA AW BN, 2ND ID

Comments: Looking for information about my Great Uncle Sergeant Elwood E Overgard. The following is the letter we finally received from DPMO in Apr 2000. In early Feb '51, X Corps of the 8th US Army was conducting offensive operations in Central South Korea [Operation Roundup]. The 2nd ID's role in this operation was to support ROK forces with div artillery and with infantry battalions from the 38th regiment. From Feb 5-11, this force pushed northward along HWY 29; the force neared Hongcheon on Feb 11, when it was attacked by 3 Chinese divisions. These divisions were part of a major, combined Chinese and North Korea operation, the "Chinese Communist Forces Fourth Phase Offensive" [feb 11-17]. The Chinese attach caused the lead, 8th ROK Div. to buckle, and enemy forces succeeded in cutting HWY 29 in several places. On Feb 12, to avoid complete encirclement, US and ROK units began a series of fighting withdrawals south through several Chinese roadblocks along the highway. These withdrawing units first reached Hoengsong, then Wonju, where they successfully regrouped. It was during this moving battle that Sgt. Overgard was captured. Sgt. Overgard began to make his way North, then West, then North as a POW. The "Missing in Action, Captivity" report, contains a great deal of useful information from lists. However, many of the added narrative accounts provided by returning POW's were never fully cross-reference. In fact, two POW's who either escaped or were simply left behind by their captors in March and April 1951 reported that Sgt Overgard alive in enemy hands. Also, at least one radio broadcast from Peking mentions Sgt Overgard. In 1953 a witness to his final hours was discovered. He said Sgt Overgard was gravely ill, but reached the Suan Bean Camp in early April 1951 where he died among friends and was buried on a hillside overlooking the site. His companions then continued their march north, a few days later. We here at DPMO have every reason to believe that this report is credible-but surprised that it was not incorporated into the "Missing in Action, Captivity" document cited above. If there is anyone out there that knew my uncle, his wife was pregnant when he left and he has a son who never met him that would like to know as much as possible. Thank you for any help I receive.
