Comments: Kenneth Lee Green was taken prisoner on approximately November 25, 1950 during the battle of Ch'ongch'on River. He and others were marched to the Pukchin-Tarigol Valley collection site and then sent to Pyoktong, POW permanent Camp 5 on the south bank of the Yalu River. Kenneth was wounded and died from his wounds in mid January 1951. His remains were never returned to his family. I am searching for anybody that served with, or remembers Kenneth Lee Green during this time.

Batallion from Maryland.
He was twenty years of age at the time of his death, and he was
from West Orange, New Jersey.

I was returning from Japanese Hospital and when I rejoined the unit

I have DOD reports that say he died on June 21, 1951 after suffering

I also have other reports that say different dates of death and for

45 years ago, my uncle, !st Lt. Thomas C. Lafferty was shot
down over North Korea and listed as KIA by our Government. Four years
ago his name appeared on the list of US pilots who might have been
transferred to the Soviet Union. Since that time we have spent every
penny we have in finding out the true story.
We have obtained a photo which proves that not only did he survive the
crash, but that he was alive and sitting in prison camp #5 some two years
later.
We believe that he might still be alive and in North Korea today. This
week we were contacted and asked to attend a meeting in New York with the

any information about capt emil j kapaun army roman catholic
chaplain killed in a pow camp
More from Tim Casey: from continuing dialogue...
Ted,
Strange that you should ask as I was just browsing over a book dedicated
to him. It was written by Fr Kapaun's hometown bishop in 1954/5.
CPT (Chap) Emil J. Kapaun was a chaplain in WW2 in the China-Burma-India
(CBI). Released from active duty in 1946, returned home, then went to
college under the GI Bill for his Masters. Volunteered to go back on
active duty, was assigned to the 1st Cav Div in Japan.
When Korea erupted his unit went over. His unit was Hq Co, 8th Cav Regt
1st Cav Div, was the 3rd Bn Chaplain. He was captured at Unsan 2 Nov 50,
refused to leave the wounded when given the opportunity to get out of
the Unsan perimeter, he stayed with CPT C.L. Anderson MD. Andy survived
the camps and lives in Washington state.
Fr. Kapaun died in Pyoktong, n. Korea (Camp 5) in May 1951, of a blood
clot in his leg and intentional lack of medical care. The Chinese
refused to let Dr. Anderson amputate his leg.
Awards include the Distinguished Service Cross, Legion of Merit and the
Bronze Star Medal with "V" device for valor.
His hometown was Pilsen, Kansas. Quit a man, I have talked to many who
were with him and all, not only Catholics, claim that he was close to
sainthood.
Even today there are some people, not ex-PWs, who are pushing for this.
A fellow in upstate NY recently wrote a book about him "A Shepherd in
Combat Boots". I think his name was Bill Maher

Hi my name is Jessica Hinkle. I am the Grandaughter of William R. Hinkle
who is an Ex-POW of the Korean war.My Grandfather wanted me to try and
help locate an Ex-POW friend of his.
The friend of my grandfather is Harold E. Beldon. He was last seen in
camp number 5 where my grandfather and him were held captive.
My grandfather was then moved to a different camp and that was the last
time my grandfather ever saw or heard from him again.At the time of the
war he was known to be living in Pomona, California. My grandfather did
find out that he was released from camp 5 around September of 1953.
This is all the information I have and I would be so very greatful if
you could help my grandfather and I out on trying to find his long lost
friend that he cares so deeply for. If anyone has any information on the
where abouts of Harold E. beldon please contact:
William R. Hinkle at (304)645-7837.
My grandfather is from Lewisburg, West Virginia.
Thank you and God Bless

My father, Rudolph H. DeSilva, (Captain, US Army, 7th Infantry Div.
during the war) was a POW captured at Chosin Reservoir.
Would be interested in information related to this and other POWs who
might have known him. He passed away in 1977 following heart surgery.
I do know that he spent alot of time with some Turkish soldiers, and I
think he knew or met that Chaplain Kapuan who has been written about.
