He is MIA since 18 july 1951. He was on patrol and his group walked into an ambush.
Every one got home save except my uncle. The place where it happened was one week
later in our hands and searched but no body was found, so we presume that he got
POW. We have never ever heard of him since.
Is there somebody who has heard from him or saw him since that date?

Comments: I am writing to gather some information about my Uncle SGT Richard Dick Desautels. He would have been a Corporal at/during his interment as a Prisoner of War from December 1, 1950 to his death per the Chinese government on September 29, 1953. Some accounts say he died sometime in April, 1953
The information I specifically am trying to ascertain is if he was take to Mukden for medical care related to a wound to his knee area at the time of his capture during the retreat from Kujang to Kuni-ri then to Sun chon. He was captured at or near Kuni-ri. He spent time in Camp 1 and Camp 5. He drove and repaired trucks. He drove trucks to/from Camp 1 and Camp 5. He learned and spoke some Chinese. It has been reported he translated the guards conversations to the other prisoners. It has been further reported he translated broadcasts to the prisoners as well.
I would appreciate any information good, bad or otherwise of any POW that might have had any conversations with Dick of any kind. Particularly if they might be able to confirm the he had been sent to Mukden (now Shenyang). Perhaps a person might have heard some of what he saw there?

would appreciate any correspondence regarding his time
there. I would love some background information
relating to Camp 5, such as how many men were there,
personal experiences, friendships that have been
maintained since their release, actually any
information at all. Life has not always been so easy
for Uncle Ralph since his release, and he doesn't
really like to talk about his experience, and I would
just like to learn more about what he endured while in
Korea. I try to honor him in any way that I can for
the sacrifices he made for all of us. I know there
were some horrible times, but I hold out hope that
there were also some camaraderie that helped these guys
endure the horrific time in their lives. When I was
very young I remember him telling us he helped carry a
man who had lost both legs, but there were times when
they barely had enough strength to carry themselves.
Does this ring a bell with anyone? Thank you so much
for your efforts to keep this world a safe place to
live. If you have any information you can share with
me, I would really appreciate it.

Comments: I am looking for any and all info concerning my uncle, Corporal Denzil G. Samsel. He was a member of Co. C, 1st Battalion, 19th Infantry Regiment,24th Infantry Division. He was taken Prisoner of War on November 4, 1950 near Anju, North Korea. The date of death given to him by the Army was February 28, 1951. He died while prisoner in Camp 5. (This is the basic info the government has given us)

My father,who is 80 years old and also a Korean War veteran, is wanting to possibly find the names of servicemen who were with his brother in Camp 5 or have any knowledge of him after he was taken prisoner. He would especially like to know the names of the men who were with him when he died.

We attended an update in Bellevue, WA and the annual accounting in Washington DC this year. This is where I found out dad had not requested Denzil's Deceased Personnel Records and in August was told it could take up to 9 months to receive this.

As we all know time is running short and it is extremely important to my dad to thank the men or their families. I have promised my dad I would do all I could to help him find info he is seeking and I have been struggling for several months on where to go for the help my dad has asked of me.I have cried for hours reading the statements of these men and thinking about how scared and miserable they all must have been.

Is there somewhere that I can get a list of ex-POW's captured with Denzil or were with him in Camp 5 that may still be alive and a way to contact them or their families?
Any help, info, or pics will be greatly appreciated!

Laura Samsel
