Sonny was take POW while fighting on 11/26/50 OR 11/30/50 (I’ve seen both dates published on references) and died while a POW on 2/28/51. Because of the date of his capture I believe that he was involved in a battle at Kunuri, but I can’t confirm that. Family won’t talk about it, but I want my sons (8 and 10) to know about him and his experience and sacrifice on behalf of our country. Can you please help? Did you know him or know of him? I would like to find out where he was fighting when he was taken, and the circumstances surrounding his death. I want to honor his memory by knowing his story. Thank you so much.

Died: February 28, 1951
Serial Number: RA18282616

Uncle Gary was in the Battle of the Ch'ongch'on (28 Nov-1 Dec 1950) during the move south from Kunu-ri toward Sunch'on.
Letter from Wm. E. Bergin, Major General, The Adjutant General of the Army to Mrs. Birdie Ann Littlefield, dated 1 December 1950:
"Your son became missing in action near Sonchu, North Korea, while his unit was fighting through a strong heavily defended opposing forces' roadblock in an effort to reach Sunchon, North Korea."
He remained MIA until a letter dated 8 September 1953 from Robert E. Parsons, Chaplain, 1st Lieutenant, United States Army, San Francisco, CA:
"As Chaplain of the 2d Engineer Combar Battalion, it is with deep regret that I write to you an official notification concerning the loss of your son, Sergeant Gary E. Littlefield, RA 18282616, a member of Headquarters and Service Company, 2d Engineer Combat Battalion.
On 30 November 1950, your son was reported missing in action after a general withdrawal of his battalion from defensive positions near Sonchu, North Korea. Recent information received by this headquarters from the Department of Army indicates that Gary was captured by the enemy the same day he was reported missing in action, and that he died of pneumonia on 28 February 1951, while in prisonor of war camp."
Uncle Gary was buried on April 4, 1955; National Cemetery, 19th Street, Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Section 44; Grave 3030B.
Any additional information concerning my uncle would be greatly appreciated.
