Comments: My father, Robert Pontius was a surgeon in the Naval Reserves and
wrote letters home while serving in the Korean Conflict.

The letters include:

1952
January -March:
Japan. Tokyo, Yokosuka. US Naval Hospital 2923

1952 March-April: LST 914

1952 May-Sept: LST 802 and 14th Field Hospital North of Pusan.

I am eager to make contact with anyone who may have overlapped
with his service, or anyone who could help me search archives for
news or photos that would complement the letters. I would like to
eventually get the letters in a book for for my dad and our family.
