Comments: My husband was stationed in Korea in 1950 -1951. He was injured and was behind the 38th Parallel and was left behind as the Chinese Communists were advancing. Most retreated and left some of the wounded behind. He was discovered by a South Korean farmer who hid him in his hut with raw sweet potatoes and water. He was found 19 days later and taken to the Swedish Hospital Red Cross ship off of Pusan. Is there anyway I can get the records stating he was there and the time. He later was transferred to Japan. He was in the 5th Army unit, I believe and also in the Signal Corp and the Cavalry unit. I am his wife and he passed away Aug 3, 2015 and I am trying to get his army records straight as a lot of stuff was never recorded. Please help me if at all possible. Thank you Sincerely Ann Brooks annbrooks13@c0mcast.net.

Comments: I am an American Red Cross Volunteer and have been looking for Lennart Yonson (Lenard Johnson?) who is in a photo of the American Red Cross Korean War calendar, printed in 2000 and photo dated 1950. He is standing around a piano with 6 other United Nations Servicemen and a Red Cross Gal.
He must have worked in the 200 bed Hospital that was sent to Korea by the Swedish government soon after the war began, which later became a 400 bed hospital.
Any information will be greatfully appreciated.
He has a uniform on and the only patch is on his right sleeve. Sweden?

Comments: Hej Göran!
The medal you got was the ww2 version of the medal of freedom wich was created in 1945 and given to civilians that has helped the US, for instance to ww2 resistance fighters. I got the medals of an other veteran of the swedish field hospital in Korea - Gillis Röing. Among his medals are also this version of the Medal of Freedom. Interested if you have any information about this Röing and what he did at the field hospitals. Inn 1963 the medal of freedom was instituted again but with a new apperence and is more prestigious.

Comments: After returning from Korea in 1953 I recived an American Medal. I am trying to find out which medal it was. The medal has been lost. As far as I can remember it was a Medal of Freedom. However, since this is a very prestigeous award I think it must be some other medal, but which?
