Comments: My Uncle was with the 25th Infantry Division and was taken prisoner of war on Jan. 4, 1951 near Seoul. He was taken to the Bean Camp near Suan and reported by fellow POW's to have died from illness. His siblings and many relatives are living in the Minnesota area. His brother and nephew farm the land near Braham where Ralph was born and grew up. If you have any information that would be helpful to the family or know anyone who was in the Bean Camp, we would be interested in talking to or meeting with them. We met with the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command at Hickam AFB and they are still working on identifying remains. Sincerely, The Carlson Family

Comments: I am looking for information regarding my uncle John Harvey Holman of Minnesota/Iowa; we have information that he was captured Feb. 12, 1951 near Hoengsong and died while captured possibly from dysentary in the Bean/Suan Camp around April 30, 1951. John was in the 38th Inf. Regiment, 2nd Inf. Division, D Company and was a Sargent First Class (although this may have been assinged to him after he died). His widow, Loraine, has a letter from George Matta dated 1954 stating that John died while in camp. My father did provide DNA & was told a match was made but we are still waiting for details. Thanks.

Becoming a sponser and do all I  can to find someone who remembers my
brother and end a nightmare.

Cpl Donald W Gately RA12348217, 2nd div 15th field artillery battery A
mia 2/13/51 and taken as pow around massive battles in the area of
hoengsong and wonju officially listed as dead of malnutrion in may
1951 possibly in camp #1  

Govt said he was taken Bean Camp and then to the mining camp enroute to
pow camp #1 on yalu river. A report says that other pow's have said he
died somewhere between *Suan to Kangdong to Changsong*. Another
version said he died in may 1951 in camp #1, yet his name was on a
repatriation list and withdrawn during operation bigswitch in 1953.

thanks for any help.

82nd AAA Bn 2nd Inf Div.

I'm looking for any info on the death of Maj S J Stevens. Last known
to be prisoner of war Bean Camp. No acknowledgement by N Korean's or
Chinese as a POW. Known to have been alive in Feb 51. I been waiting
for near fifty years for closure. Would greatly appreciate any info.

My mother has a letter of 1st Lt. Wilbur Webster cofirming his presence
at the camp. Lt Webster later escaped. It was also later confirmed
by another prisoner (which my aunt has copy) that he was sick, probably
with dysentery. He evidentally made a roll call one night, but was not
present the next morning. Due to lack of medical facilities we believe 
he died.

Thank you ahead of time.

(note from KWP) Vince Krepps has given John a long msg regarding the
Capt(Major) and his role in unit actions up to Kunu ri
