Comments: He is the son of one of my uncles. I belong to the branch who lives in Argentina. About 1956, he joined the Amazon and Orinocco rivers by canoe (aluminium?)with a friend and came to Buenos Aires down the Parana River. I also met years ago an American in the Orkney Islands, Scotland who knew him; he had just joined the Scandinavian Peninsula with the Orkneys in a replica of a Viking Ship. Going back to my cousin, the family here made a BBQ for him. I never met him because I lived in one of the northern provinces then. I am the daughter of Raoul his father's brother. I am called Helen after our grandmother, Helen Goodfellow. I would like to know whether he is still around and whether he would like to correspond with me via e-mail. I have tried to find him for years. I he is not interested, please let me know. Thank you

monique frazier wrote on 2003-12-01 06:31:48.0
Comments: I know nothing about my father; I write this simply hoping that, if he still lives, he will recognize the little information that I'm able to provide. I was born in FUKUOKA, Japan on May 6, 1951. My mother's name was MICHIKO TATABE. I have a couple of photographs of my mother and me, which I believe were taken by him (given my mother's expression). Also, a professionally made photo from a studio in Nagoya. I was placed in a Catholic orphanage when I was about 2 1/2 years old. I was told by my adoptive parents (stationed at Camp Gifu) that I was told that the reason for this was that my mother was dying and my father had been killed in the war. I was told that his name was LEE WARD, that he was from VIRGINIA and that perhaps he was an M.P., because everytime I saw a policeman, I would point and say "That's my daddy" in Japanese. That was very likely due to seeing any man in uniform. I don't want anything from him. I would just like for him to know that he has five grandchildren, beautiful in spirit and looks, and three lovely great granddaughters. Monique Frazier

I want to know more about the orphanage, if anyone knows.

Comments: i'm looking for anyone who might have known my father during the korean war. he was in combat. i believe he helped operate one of those big cannon-type machine guns (80mm?). he was shot in the leg and captured with 2 or 3 other men. My father managed to escape after being held for some time and was eventually rescued by u.s. forces & returned stateside to serve out his time somewhere around utah, nevada or the dakotas. my father died recently and recounted this death-bed story to a long-time friend. none of the family had ever heard it, so i'm seeking information that may shed light on his service. any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.

Memorial with John Charles Hertzberg from VA. We are pushing your home
page.

Mahurin (could be Mahuren). He was a POW. Fighter Pilot.
Please e-mail info to Martha Ann Clark from DISA clark3m@cc.ims.disa.mil
Thanks,

Ted,
I know nothing about Herzberg. My inquiry is about Walker Melville
"Bud" Mahurin (could be Mahuren), Korean USAF Fighter Pilot, last man
US POW to walk out of Freedom Village (met by Chappie James) at
Panmunjong (sp?). Bud's fighter pilot call sign was "Honest John";
also the name of the book he wrote about his Korean War experiences.
Super thanks on anything you can come up with.

I am looking for information on my grandfather, Richard A. Grablin who
was in the Air Force during the Korean War. I have requested info from
the national archives and received the forms in return, but
unfortunately I do not possess much of the information they require.
I do know that he was born Feb 23, 1921 in Colfax, Iowa and was
stationed as a cadet at Lowry Field in Denver. He was awarded the
Distinguished Flying Cross at some point in his career. I do not know
when he died, or what unit he was with (he was a pilot). Any
information you could provide is greatly appreciated.

1st Lt. John M. Gilbert III
From:
John Gilbert psher6207@s2.sonnet.com
My father, 1st Lt. John M. Gilbert III, was killed in Korea in June of
1951. He was an aviator and was flying C119's. The only information I
have is that the all the planes flying in the formation were involved
in a military accident. I believe that they were hit by allied
artillery.
The official death notification only says, cause of death, aircraft
accident, line of duty, not misconduct. My mother never talked about
it and died when I was very young. I had no contact with any member of
my father's family until I was 18.
All photos and records were destroyed by fire when I was about 4 years
old. At any rate, my father was from Rochester, NY. I subsequently
received many photos and letters but never any details of what really
happened.
I have a newspaper clipping which indicates that three planes were shot
down. Other than that I know very little. If anyone remembers any
incident where some C119's were shot down I would greatly appreciate the
information.
Thank you very much.

Sir
I'm retired USAF putting together an "unofficial" WWW site to help
prepare todays USAF troops for deployment. I'd like to get some info on
what kinds of gear was issued to troops during the Korean War. Stories
on the bases, general living conditions, and training would also be
great.
Comments on what was not issued, but needed by the troops and any
"lessons" Korean Vets could pass on to todays troops would be very
helpfull and informative.

I am searching for anyone who remembers my father or who may have
old photos of him.
His name is Ronald Eugene Rosier, and he was in the army air corps?
in korea. all I really know is that he worked on planes.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. I have a photo my mother gave
me with my father sitting in a plane in korea the wording on the side of
the plane is FS-098.
Someone wrote at the bottom of the photo "Taken in Tague, Korea 1952"
Thanks for your assistance, I really appreciate it.

ps: my father did not die in korea and he is still alive but does not
recall much from that time period.
Airman John Kunteski - MIA
From: BuckyFirst@aol.com
Date: Fri, 20 Sep 1996
Airman John Kunteski, a tail gunner in a B-29, was lost over Korea
during the Korean War and has never been heard from since.
A search for his name on your web site has proven futile. No matches
were found. What could have been his fate?
Does anyone even know that he is lost? Birthplace, Riverside, NJ,
present age would be approx 65 years old.
This is a mystery that people in Riverside have been needing to have
solved for over 40 years.

Please reply to the Korean War Project if you have information.

I do not believe he is a relative but am seeking any information on him,

Osan, Korea.
That is why I chose to wear the bracelet of a man who served in Korea.
