Comments: My step-brother, Wilbert I. "Wild Bill" Dingman, died while a POW in Mining Camp, South Korea. He died 18 May 1951. He was buried on the hill behind the camp. I would like to contact anybody who remembers him, and learn what I can about his time there. I also would like to learn the exact location of the camp, and perhaps obtain a map showing it.
