Comments: I am trying to help my father find someone that might remember him from the war.

He was held as a POW/MIA, but not held in an actual camp, and is trying to prove this. His family also received a telegram that said that he was KIA. Since all of his military records were burned, he is trying to connect with anyone that would remember him. When he was taken POW in the area of Shie-by-ni (SP?) on July 28th 1951, and was held captive with several members of the 7th Cav.

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 for responding to my letter. My father was a p.o.w. and was captured at the battle at Unsan on November 2nd 1950. He was in prison camp #5 pyok dong in North Korea. On some paperwork I have it says he was captured at 300. I don't know what this means. He was held for 133 weeks. He was released 08/11/1953. I do have alot of photos from Korea, servicemen, barracks, and numerous other things.I also have some letters that he wrote his parents while he was in the service.I will read these and see if there is any information that will help someone find a missing GI.

SFC John R. Rice

Comments: John is a distant relative of mine. He was killed in Korea and was highlighted in the November 1951 issue of Redbook Magazine. He was to be buried at the Souix City Iowa cemetary, but as his casket was being lowered into his plot, the sheriff stopped the funeral because John was an Indian and at the time the cemetary was "white only". His body was returned to the funeral home and 2 weeks later, President Truman personally intervened and JOhn was buried in Arlington National Cemetary.

Am curious to hear about him and circumstances surrounding his death.

His "story" is quite sketchy.

Comments: After reading the History of the Battle of UNSON I can understand the difficulty in obtaining information. The actions taken that day make me greave even today but at the same time very very proud to be an AMERICAN!! I have gotten some information from my Mother re: Cpl. Roger Weaver, my Uncle. During retreating actions and under heavy bombardment my Uncle went missing. The army sent a telegram stating only that he was missing and was later declared "Dead while missing". We have never received any official information beyond that. My Mother and her sisters have each donated DNA to the I. D. Lab in hopes of the remains being found for repatriation or evidence to support his death. The story we received from "Fred Keyes" a buddy and hometown resident who was in the same action and was later captured and repatriated is as follows. While crossing the "River, the Company Commander or Platoon leader "Capt. ?" took a hit. My Uncle went back to aid and retrieve the Capt. Upon reaching him, a shell hit and neither was seen or heard from again. My questions deal with those events. If anyone remembers this, please let me know. Which River? he Nammyon? or the Samfon? Was the crossing at a bridge or was it a ford? About where?. Might anyone remember the Capt.'s name? I also understand the unit was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation, The ROK Presidential Unit Citation, and The Greek Gold Medal of Bravery. for the actions of the 2nd of NOV 1950. My Uncle did not receive these medals. He was awarded the Purple Heart, the ROK Service Medal and the UN Service Medal. Can anyone tell me if he would be entitled to these? Thank you to all the men who fought in that battle. Your Courage and fortitude in the face of such overwhelming odds is to be heralded.

Looking For info on Sergeant James Joseph Walsh, L Co - MIA

Comments: I am looking for any info on Sergeant James Joseph Walsh 1st Cav. Div. He was from the Bronx, Kings Co. NY. He was declared missing Nov. 2 1950. Officially declared dead Dec. 31, 1953. We believe that his position was over run and the body was never recovered in North Korea. We know he was a "light weapons assault infantryman.' His number was RA12319466.

He was my father's first cousin. My father is still alive. (My father served in the Royal Navy on an aircraft carrier during this same time period.) We know nothing else about him other than what this web site KoreanWar.org has provided.

We sent off to the Army Service Record Office in St. Louis, Mo. in July this year and to date have not heard back.

I am the family historian. This is a gray area in our past that we would like to find out more about. Any scrap would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

1st Cavalry Divirion 1950-1952

Comments: There is a reprint available at http://turneronline.com of the 1st cavalry division korea 1950-1952 book. I was told that the original book was available for sale to soldiers when they were leaving Korea, at that time. The back of the book has a full-looking roster (Im not an expert) breaking groups down as far as what company they were in. I can't say how perfect the listing is, because there were some names I saw on this message board that I thought i might find listed in the books roster, but I couldnt find them. My dad's name was listed, and his friends were too. It also has the most detailed history of the first cavalry during that time that I have found (but again, I'm no expert). Maybe people would want to see if its in the library first?

here is a direct link to the page.
