Anyone out there who was at Sasebo Repl. Depot from January 1952-
July 1953?  

Although rear echelon units, the A.U.'s at Pusan, Korea and Sasebo,
Japan played a major role in the logistic support for the Korean War. 

I served in the 8068th Rep. Depot at Sasebo from Feb.l952-July l953,
the base saw nearly every UN unit go to and from the Pennisula on the
"Pusan Ferry". The 8068th was awarded the Korean Svc. Medal and the UN
Citation despite the fact that we didn't directly serve on the
Pennisula.
