Comments: I am researching the history of POW mail from the Korean War.

I would be very grateful for any information regarding how incoming mail
was received, and how often correspondence was permitted to be sent.

I know that both Dove airletters and postcards were provided to POW's,
but would welcome info, scans or photocopies to help me compile an
accurate record of facilities in the different camps.

All information will be acknowledged.

Comments: Recently I had an Regression therapy. I went back to a former life and called myself John McKenzie. I died during the Korean war in 1953. I like to check I I'm crazy or did I really reïncarnate after I died in Korea. Please send me some information about him. I was shot nearly in half. I saw also a green kitchen and a small wooden table with four chairs around it. The chair had dark blue pillows to sit on. I think that the mother in law of John lived with them.

Sorry for my bad english. I'm dutch and did my best to be as clear as I can.

Hope to find someone who can give me any information about John McKenzie.

UNIT: MY FATHER WAS IN CO. G 8TH CAV REGIMENT (INF) 1ST

SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER

Comments: My father was assigned to Company G 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1St
Cavalry Division from approximately the end of 1950 to the end of
1951.

If anyone still alive knew him or served with him I would like to hear
from you.

I know you men went through hell as my father was wounded several
times and had his teeth knocked out by the butt of a chinese rifle (the
chinese got knifed for his efforts) he had had a lot of shrapnel in him
still when he died in 1995. My dad was a WWII Veteran of the
Navy in the Pacific as well. (Destroyer)

I know he carried the BAR and was involved in H2H as were all of
those brave men.

Please email me if you have any greater details of which battles and
what happened.

I am a disabled veteran as well and I would like to be able to tell my
family what happened. My dad did not talk much about what
occurred but being a veteran myself and taking one look at him gave
anyone a good idea of what the hell he must have gone through.

Thank you in advance and thanks to all the men who served lived and
died in that God forsaken shit hole.

I'm trying to make contact with vets who were in that unit, on that day, at that place. But I would particularly like to hear from vets who knew Pvt. Young. This is for research related to a story I have been attempting for some time to write.
