Dawson A. Mills served on the Repose. Also, she mentioned something about him assisting with the organization of the USS Hope. He was a physician and my grandmother, Lt. Commander Undine Cleveland-Mills (last name was Brown prior to marriage) was a nurse, though she did not serve as my mother and unlce were small children at the time. If anyone remembers either of them it would be nice to hear about their roles. Unfortunately, they have both passed away (Undine in 1995 and Dawson in 2001). Thank-you.

DAVID SILVERMAN wrote on August 16, 2007 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: NAVY VETERAN Comments: I was a corpsman aboard the Repose in 1947-1948. I boarded the ship in Hunters Point Naval Shipyard where we were getting the ship ready to sail to Tsingtao via Hawaii,Guam, Phillipines,and Japan. We missed the Phillipines but made the other places for a day or so and arrived in Tsingtao and transferred patients and crew from the Benevolence. We were now in our home port. I worked in the physical therapy department with a nurse named Maxine Thomas. I believe that she was a Lt.(sg). We were right across from the dental clinic which was a partying group and many a great party was enjoyed especially our version of that famous chinese/russian drink the Vodka sour. Only we made ours from 190 proof donated from the pharmacy and lemon concentrate from our lifeboats. Whew! Tsingtao was good liberty and cheap. Rickshaws were 10 cents,or 50 cents a day,shots at the enlisted mans club were 25 cents,that famous Tsingtao beer in quarts and on and on. We had a great time on the beautiful beaches and shared the place with the marines. Now marines at that time had great respect for corpsmen,"docs",and often shared their good beer with us. All we could buy was Fort Pitt and Iron City.Yech! We did have a fabulous ships party at the Broadway Mansions were one evening we partied and the next we were on shore patrol or vice versa. I along with Ed Devany secured a ten day leave in Hongkong that because of mistakes and screw ups,not by us, turned out to last forty six days,thirty in Shanghai and 15 in Hongkong. No one else got a leave like that again. I have attended reunions in Chicago and Las Vegas. I will be attending the reunion in Branson. Although I plan to live forever each reunion could be my last because there just aint that many of us around any more and lifes ills have wounded others. Would have liked to share a room with someone to kind of cut the costs but with whom? See Yah! DAVE P.S. Nurse Briscoe,I have a few nice shots of the ship in Tsingtao.

JACOB JORGENSEN wrote on November 9, 2003 City and State: Unit: USS REPOSE AH-16 Service or Relationship: NAVY VETERAN - KOREA Comments: The following is reprint of the AP news release that was printed in the newspapers throughout the U.S. in the month of December 1950: ONE OF THE UNSUNG HEROES OF WAR IN KOREA IS U. S. HOSPITAL SHIP By TOM STONE (For Hal Boyle) INCHEON, KOREA (AP) The U.S. Hospital Ship Repose is one of the unsung heroes of the Korean War. The sleek 15,000-ton vessel inched 30 miles thru a dangerously shallow channel, took aboard more than 750 wounded U.N. troops and carried them out safely before they could be trapped by a surprise Chinese offensive. The gigantic rescue operation was conducted so smoothly and swiftly that it went virtually unnoticed. The glimmering white ship with big red crosses painted on her sides is safely back at anchor off Incheon in the Yellow Sea off the west coast of Korea. All but a handful of her patients have been treated for battle wounds and returned to their outfits or returned to Japan for recuperation. Capt. C.H. Purdue, Commanding Officer of the Repose, said the big rescue operation took place between Nov. 28-30 (1950). He said that "while we were anchored off Chinnampo the Chinese north of Pyongyang, about 25 or 30 miles northeast of us, started their big offensive. In a short time wounded began pouring aboard ship. We worked around the clock for two and a half days. Our litter hoists and boatswain chairs were lifting wounded aboard without a bobble. We didn't pull out until the wards were filled to the brim." He said some United Nations vessels, including American and Australian warships, remained to shell the enemy and bring out troops and equipment. Two U.S. ships were the destroyer escorts Foss and Forest Royal. Thirty nurses worked around the clock caring for the wounded. The most perilous part of the job, said Capt. Purdue, was the task of steering the ship along the narrow winding channel without running aground. "We couldn't use the main channel because it was heavily mined. The channel we used was only 25 feet deep in places at high tide. The Repose draws 25 feet 6 inches. At times our fathometer reading was about the same as the draw. We didn't have much water under our keel." As far as he knew, his ship was the largest ever to get thru the channel. Capt.Purdue said a helicopter hovered above the water in front of the ship looking for mines. Capt. Boyle, senior medical officer aboard said that at the height of the Chinnampo operation more than 1,300 persons were aboard the hospital ship. "It was a big problem to feed that many people. But we did. The laundry worked 24 hours a day to help maintain our high standards of cleanliness." Capt. Purdue said "We can do most anything aboard this ship that any modern big city hospital can do." Keywords:

Patients were as young or younger than I was at 18 years. There was much pain in the wards - and fear on the part of prisoners who couldn't believe we were trying to help them. There was joy, too, when an expected death turned into a transfer to Japan and life. Much credit due to helicopter crews who brought wounded to the Repose flightdeck in rough situations. . . and to the people in the Aid Stations ashore patching up the wounded so they could be transported to us by truck or copter... or packed into body bags. Another dangerous and dirty job. I remember KMC wounded who objected to having their long hair cut because that was the Chinese style ... and picking out the maggots from ears and elsewhere ... and a burly US Marine crying because his friend didn't make it ... lots of things like that happened every day. It has been many years and few remember or care anymore. I remember and respect those who did so much to stop the flow of blood while maintaining a cheerful, upbeat attitude so their fellow workers would not give up hope.
