Comments: Elwin I Whaley was my father, who died at Pac's Palace on 7 May
1951. If anyone had any knowledge regarding his time there,
I'd appreciate it.
I attend the Defense Department's annual POW/MIA briefings in
Washington where efforts to return remains to US control are
discussed in detail - very interesting.

Comments: My Father-in-law was Charles Riley Lawson and he was a POW in Korea for 3 years. I would like any information about his time in the prison camps. He never talked about it until he was dying, and only then a few non connected phrases. Thank you for your time.
