Anyone wishing to read a first-hand account of the infamous Sunchon tunnel atrocity (KOREAN RED MASSACRE) in which 68 American prisoners of war were shot to death can read about it in the "VALLEY TIMES" (California) Saturday, January 20, 1951 edition. BY BURDETTE EGGEN As told to Gordon Grant.
This newspaper article begins: I was captured on July 27,1950, near Hadong. It was my first and only day in combat. We went into combat, about 1800 in my outfit, at 10 a.m. that day. By 4:30 p.m. all but 125 of us were dead. It continues on for two full pages.

Comments: Six of the living survivors of the Sunchon and Kujang massacres have attended reunions in Branson, MO in the last two years. They will return to Branson in November to introduce the book that tells their story, They Came Home: Sunchon Tunnel Massacre Survivors.
In conducting interviews and researching testimonies, military reports and books, we have pulled together a great amount of actual testimony from survivors - living and deceased.

Comments: This is to answer inquiries as to whereabouts of suvuvors of the Sunchon Tunnel Massacre.
George T Davis is Deceased. George was a good friend of my families so I knew him quite well. George died at the Davis Park VA Hospital in the 1980s, and is burried in his hometown of Slatersville RI (North Smithfield). I was attempting to get his medals for his sister who at last account still lives in that town.She gave me some old newspsper articles on the massacre and showed me a blood stained military drivers licence she recounted as being his, the blood, that of a badily wounded soldier he carried on the Seoul to Pyongang Death March stained it. I am sorry to have to report his death. I will miss him. Jim Meagher

I am looking for information on my uncle who was a POW in the Korean
war and never came home. How do I ask for files from the government
that contain info on PFC Orvill Linebaugh, July 27, 1950?
He was last seen on a train and was there, but not gunned down in the
"Sunchon Tunnel Massacre". It is believed he went to a POW camp on
the Yalu River or possibly to Manchuria.
Thank you

Comments:
Writing a book on POW experiences in the first months--Jun to Oct
1950. Appreciate any contacts/sources of information, especially from
anyone who survived the Sunchon Tunnel Massacre.
I am retired military from the Vietnam era. My dad was the senior
officer among 376 POWs of which only 43 survived. He was murdered on
20 Oct 50 before the 187th could jump in on the train carrying the
POWs north.
He was the S-3 of the 34 Regmt of the 24 ID before his capture. He was
bringing up the rear in the evacuation of Taejon for Gen Dean.
Dean's aide Lt Tabor was with my dad on the death march from Seoul to
Pyongyang. Tabor died during the march when some US Marines strafed the
column. Again, more contacts will allow me to flesh out the story.
I have most of the facts, but need several personal experiences to give
the book greater vividness.
Take care,
Tom McDaniel
