Comments: My Uncle Stanley Havener was captured on 5 nov 1951 and was released on 18 Nov 1953 from Camp Ch'ang-Song. I would like to talk with anybody knew my uncle. He did not talk about the war a whole lot, but it would be nice to meet or talk to someone who knew him. He passed away in 2003 a proud American and in my eyes a hero. God bless to all those who served!

If anyone knows of him or can tell us any information about their own experiences, it may help us to understand why he never discussed this part of his life.

Those of us who have served after you and seen combat know the difference. I was a young lad when many of you still teenagers went to war. You have never been given credit for what you suffered through. I as an old soldier, salute you for your dedication, your toughness, your will to servive and for those who made the ultimate sacrifice. God Bless you all.

Charles Egresit
Message Dated: 1995
Update: 3/16/99 by editor (tbarker@kwp.org)
Update on email and contact, needed ASAP
This request is on behalf of my Uncle, Graham Bailey, a British
serviceman in the Royal Gloucesters Regiment during the Korean War.
The Gloucesters Regiment was decimated in a battle for a hill alongside
the Imjin River. During this action my uncle, who was fortunate to
survive, was wounded, captured and spent the remainder of the war as a
POW in Camp 3 on the banks of the Yalu River. In early 1952, he met and
became friends with a US serviceman called Charles Egresit (or Egrezit).
As I live in the U.S.A., my uncle has asked me to try and establish
contact with Charles Egresit. Obtaining details of his military record
is one of my main starting points.
Here is all of the reasonably solid information I have on the gentleman:
Name: CHARLES EGRESIT
Branch: USMC (?)
Hometown: PITTSBURGH, PA.
Captured: Early 1952.
POW Camp: CAMP 3

Subject: P.O.W. "my dad"
HI HAL
i don't actually know what to say,my dad was a p.o.w. in Korea
for 3 yrs he passed away mar 29 of this yr. during all the years i
had him with me (39) i just asked him of his time as a prisoner last
nov. he told me of camp #3 and the things that
happen there and the way the soldiers died and lived. about 3 yrs ago
about 4 or 5 men visited my dad's home and relayed a story of how ,
if it hadn't been for my dad they wouldn't be alive that day to thank
him.
He encouraged and made the other soldiers to live everyday. one of
them even had a picture taken at the camp with the soldiers around
him as he played music.
Is there anyway i can find out more about camp #3 or what I can do
to find out more of what these brave men had to have suffered.
i know i probably get a lot of mail i would be grateful if u could
help me in anyway.
thank u,

After my husband died, I began to research his POW experiences. He was
