He was, I believe, a navigation officer on the USS Consolation, guiding the helicopters in as they were landing on the deck. He was a good-looking, tall, blond, blue-eyed American. I met him in New York City in 1945 when I immigrated to the United States from Denmark and after he had served several years in Washington, D.C. at the National Security Agency. He later became an M.D. in New York City. I have numerous slides my husband took in Korea and would like to see them preserved for posterity. Please contact me if you remember my dear husband or if you have a good suggestion as to the slides from Korea. The U.S. Navy sure produces good husbands. I sure miss my husband terribly and would like to honor him by staying in touch with his fellow Navy officers and crewmembers. Officers and crewmembers on the Danish Hospital Ship Jutlandia might also remember my husband. I know that he visited that ship. I did not meet him through either ship, only by chance and good luck.

JIMI LEE HASWELL wrote on May 28, 2000 City and State: MI Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: greetings all, i thought I would make a post here and see if any of this makes a connection for someone. my dad, JAMES DUANE (JIM) HASWELL was in Korea, not sure the exact years, but definitely in 52 and 53. He was a medical corpsman in the 1st marine division, but I don't know unit. I believe he was with the EASY MED field hospital and not Able Med. He was burned in a bunker fire on the front line and jeeped on stretcher to Battalian Aide. From there took a (sounds like he's just catching a ride) Bell helicopter ride on the outside riggers (or whatever they are called), to the EASY MED field hospital. He said that JIM FARRELL (sp?) was on the frontline with him and rode in the jeep to Battalian and that FARRELL SAVED HIS LIFE. If you know this Jim Farrell, please send me some e-mail and I can hook you up with my dad for a reunion, if you like. EASY MED shipped him to the DANISH hospital ship JUTLANDIA (or Jatlandia?) first I think and then he went to the CONSOLATION hospital ship, I believe. Dad (Jim Haswell) remembers the surgeon's name on the American ship as DOCTOR DIBBLE. Dad says he remembers the surgeon well because he was "awake" in surgery when they were literally pulling and scraping his burned skin off and, being a medic himself, he said to the surgeon, "hey, you can't do that to me without giving me something first." heh. It is possible that the ship was the REPOSE, but I'm pretty sure he said the CONSOLATION. It went to port of call at YOKUSKA (sp?), JAPAN near YOKAHAMA where he went to the hospital ashore, which I don't know the name of. The captain of the American ship (whichever it was - Consolation or Repose) turned out to be a childhood friend of my dad's mother (WINIFRED THELMA SNELL HASWELL), from BEULAH/BENZONIA, MICHIGAN. Now that's a small world isn't it? well that's it for now. everyone take care and we are thinking of you all and all those that fought on this Memorial Day and all the rest of the year as well. take care, jl haswell Keywords: dr. dibble, jim haswell, james haswell, repose, yokuska, jutlandia, easy med, jatlandia

FLORENCE E. FURMAN wrote on November 11, 1999 City and State: FERNDALE MI Unit: Service or Relationship: ......... Comments: Looking for information about my brother, Carl J. Jones who served on the USS Consolation and was reported missing in April 1951 while the ship was anchored in Inchon Harbor. My brother who was 18 years old had recently re-enlisted after serving for three years. It seems very strange to me that he could just disapear from the ship when they were nowhere near shore and it was to cold to swim should he want to. I believe someone killed him and pushed him overboard. The Navy never did find out or at least at that time they did not inform his family as to what the results of the investigation was. After a year he was declared Killed in Action. If anyone knows anything about Carl would you please e-mail me. Florence Furman (Carl's 3 other brothers and I are also veterans) Keywords:
