Comments: I have emailed a response to Capt. Louis Paul Gorrell's nephew, Douglas Grant, in response to an inquiry he had made regarding information on the one survivor of the plane that Capt. Gorrell was piloting that got spotted in the searchlights, after it had gone up at 11 pm, and according to the information that the Army/Air Force Division has supplied to us, the Russians were the ones who shot down the plane, but, of course, they were allies of North Korea. For two years, the Army called Capt. Gorrell's case an MIA, but, then, two years later, changed that to KIA, another casualty in a war that is thankfully now called as it should have been, the Korean War.

Comments: I have 2 pictures before he left and 1 after his

I have a scanned letter and envelope from one of his
pals, as well as a picture of Ivan and Walter from
Ivan's "welcome home" parade, dated Dec 29 1953 at 5pm
from Seabrook, NH. My uncle received that letter from
Ivan Q Eatin aka "Quincy" on Collins Street in
Seabrook, NH - "Quincy" got married Dec 12th, 1953.
They both also new a guy named "Pollock"; his address
in the letter - Walter Balinsky, Boomsbury RD#3,
Penna. My uncle's address was John W James, Jr; 2109
Lincoln Ave; Baltimore, MD 19. Quincy said in the
letter that he had several of the addresses from "the
boys". Quincy said that many of "the boys" sent him
cards when they returned to the states.
I want to know my uncle and what he was subjected to
and how he became his returned state.
My uncle was captured 26Nov50 in the Battle of the
Ch'ongch'on. I have told that he went to Pukchin-
Tarigol (Death Valley) on a "death march", at some
point, was marched again to Camp 5, spent time there
and at some time later ended up at Camp 3.
My mother told me that when Uncle Jack came home, that
he talked about being captured while in a fox hole. He
said that his weapon was a bazooka.
He appeared to have been tortured - he could barely
walk and his mental state was extremely different. My
family suspected that he was exposed to torture
interrogations. Broken bones and maybe "truth serum"
or the like. Things were so bad for him that upon his
return he had to soon thereafter be admitted to the VA
psych hospital in Perry Point, MD where he died
19Feb59.
He was a small man in stature. His height was about 5'
6" or 5' 7". He had blue eyes, medium brown hair with
a wave. He was a very caring person; if he could help
someone, he would.
I asked my mother about what he looked like when he
returned. When he came back, his eyes looked like they
had cysts about size of jawbreakers over top the
outside corners. He sang "crazy songs". His face when
he returned was very rutty; before he left, his facial
skin was smooth. When he returned, he insisted that he
had to wear a rope around his pants. His teeth had
become brown and very worn.

Comments: I am looking for anyone who might have been in a pow camp with my husband Laverne Lawrence, Batavia NY. He was a paratrooper and made at least three jumps . On one jump, he told me that only two other men and himself survived. Everyone else was shot. On his last jump, they were delibertly made to jump behind enemy lines and were captured as soon as they landed. His jaw was broken by his captors and if it were'nt for his fellow comrades who fed him and made him eat, he would have starved to death. He passed away this past December 22, 2008 trying to get his medals restored to him because someone stole them from out of his house. The government has no record of his service in Korea because all his records were destroyed in the fire in Missouri. He spent 8 months in Walter Reed Army Hospital and wasnt expected to recover. He lived to be 77 years old. I think it is pitiful that someone could give so much to their country and get this kind of treatment in return. Does anyone remember being in a POW camp with him. I only know that he was a paratrooper and that he was captured. Thank you for any informations that would help get his medals and ribbons restored to him. He very rarely talked about his experience and died in the process of getting all this rectified.

Comments: Veterans recall horror of Camp 5
Men spent years as N. Korea captives
Tuesday, November 11, 2008
By Justin Mason (Contact)
Gazette Reporter
Photographer: Peter Barber
Korean War veteran Dick Whalen of Rotterdam Junction is seen with his uniform last week.
ROTTERDAM, NY Dick Whalen still carries in his wallet a tattered black-and-white snapshot of the small peninsula village along the Yalu River valley.
Today, the 80-year-old Rotterdam town historian and Korean War veteran blends a bit of humor with his recollections of Pyoktong. His picture shows the rolling North Korean mountains leading down to a picturesque village that was bisected to form Camp 5.
Theres the prison camp, he said removing the small photo from a collection of cards tucked in the wallets back pocket. If it was in Lake George, it would be a hit.
But the area was one of the most notorious wartime prisoner camps, where Whalen remained for all but five months of the conflict. Then a cook in the Armys 1st Cavalry Division, he was captured by the Chinese inside the Unsan territory of North Korea and arrived at Camp 5 at a time when prisoners were dying at a rate of nearly a dozen per day.
Whalen himself came close to becoming a casualty of the bitter North Korean winter and the diseases that festered in the camp. When he was finally released, the military hastily airlifted
him back to the United States where he spent more than a year undergoing treatments for advanced tuberculosis.
Despite his brush with death, Whalen regards his days at the camp as an experience that may have saved his life. Many other soldiers werent nearly as fortunate on the front lines or in their march to the camp.
I was lucky, he said. I got captured by this group [of Chinese soldiers] and treated well.
Harry Brown was among those less fortunate. The 77-year-old Rotterdam resident was also captured by the Chinese in Unsan, 25 days after Whalen.
Prior to his capture, Browns unit came under heavy fire from the droves of Chinese soldiers pouring into the country from the north. He was among a group of about two dozen survivors from his unit captured and brutally marched more than 30 miles across the frozen mountainous region to Camp 5 three months later.
At the camp, he used his knowledge of books to entertain the clusters of starved and sickly soldiers huddled in cramped mud-thatch huts amid sub-zero temperatures. On the ground, a sickly Whalen was among the ones listening.
It wasnt until a chance encounter decades after the war that the two veterans realized they had unknowingly shared a slice of the same hellish experience. Whalen had noticed a Rotterdam address on a list of Korean War prisoners list so when he spotted Brown wearing a POW insignia while shopping at a hardware store on Altamont Avenue, the two veterans struck up a conversation.
He named a couple of names and I knew them very closely, Brown said. I had no idea anyone in New York state was a prisoner of war there and then he was here right in my backyard.
ROUTES TO WAR
The two veterans took different paths leading up to their capture. Whalen joined the military in September 1946 hoping to cash in on the educational benefits offered through the G.I. Bill, while Brown enlisted the following year, drawn by the notion of serving in the Army.
At the time, the military was trying to replace the World War II occupation force in Japan with fresh recruits. Whalen was given four weeks of basic training, 30 days of leave and then sent across the Pacific to Tokyo, where he served as a military policeman. Then hostilities broke out on the Korean peninsula in June 1950.
After some initial setbacks, Whalens division was part of a combat line that pushed the North Koreans back and occupied their capital of Pyongyang by October.
We stayed a while thinking the war was over and wed be back in Tokyo within a month, he said. To our surprise, the Chinese had entered the war.
Whalen was moving with the divisions 8th Cavalry component into Unsan when they were surrounded by an overwhelming Chinese army at nightfall. Those who advanced suffered heavy losses, while most of those who retreated were captured.
Whalen fled into the moonlit night with a South Korean soldier, but was spotted by the Chinese at dawn. To his surprise, the South Korean shot at the surrounding soldiers and was killed on the spot.
For the next month, he marched throughout the night with his captors. Remarkably, he said, the soldiers treated him with civility, even allowing him to eat with them along the way.
At Camp 5, his fortunes werent as good. Though the camp wasnt heavily guarded, it was wracked with starvation and disease, which killed roughly 1,500 of the nearly 4,500 captives held there.
The death rate was quite substantial, he said.
When Brown arrived at the camp in January 1951, the conditions had become deplorable. Soldiers were crammed shoulder to shoulder in the huts, which served as breeding grounds for lice.
The lice would be sapping our blood right out of our bodies, he said.
The Chinese offered a paltry diet of millet and sorghum to their captives, many of whom slowly wasted away. Those who didnt fall to the brutal winter cold found themselves contending with pneumonia and dysentery.
The conditions were enough to prompt Brown to attempt two escapes from the camp, only to be captured both times. He said desperation among the captured troops was enough that many found themselves in moral dilemmas.
To say I know youre going to die soon, Charlie, so can I have your boots when you go? This is something I could never shake, he said. These were desperate times.
Both Brown and Whalen were released from the camp in August 1953 after a cease-fire was established at the 38th parallel. They returned to the United States, where Whalen went back to his hometown and became an insurance agent and Brown became an electronic engineer in the Rotterdam area.
Neither man will ever forget his experiences during a conflict some call the forgotten war. Most of all, theyll never forget their memories of Camp 5.
You never get that out of your system, Brown said.

A great deal has always been known about America's Korean War "unknowns."
At least 239 of the caskets buried in Hawaii in 1956 contain remains that were among nearly 2,000 sets that Communist forces turned over in 1954 complete with names, military service numbers and burial information from North Korea that exactly matched U.S. records. (SEE LIST)

Keywords: They died in Korea, in combat or POW camps, and their bodies were handed over by the Communists after the war.
In 1956 they were re-buried in Hawaii and their families were never told the Army had name-associations but couldn't make formal identificaton.

Comments: Any friends can contact his wife at her son Mark's home 304-392-6387. We are interested in knowing how we would go about getting some Medals I think my grandfather should have gotten but did not. He always thought all POWs deserved the Medal of honor. He was with father Joseph Emil Kapaun and helped dig the trench for the wounded at Unsan. He helped steal chickens and other food at camp five for the men. He also frequently mentioned the name of a chinese gaurd who was smpathetic with the prisoners who helped him obtain food for the sick and dying but I don't remember his name. He weighed 190 pounds when he was captured and only 92 pounds when he got to Tokyo Japan.
Keywords: William (Billy) Ray Hinkle died Tuesday April 4, 2006 after a long Illness. Mr. Hinkle was captured at the battle of Unsan in November of 1950 and held captive until April 19 or 20 of 1953. He was in Camps 5 and Death vally and maybe one other camp.
