How do I ask for files from the government that contain info on PFC Orvill Linebaugh, July 27, 1950? He was last seen on a train and was there, but not gunned down in the "Sunchon Tunnel Massacre". It is believed he went to a POW camp on the Yalu River or possibly to Manchuria. Thank you Cindy Linebaugh

Appreciate any contacts/sources of information, especially from anyone who survived the Sunchon Tunnel Massacre. I am retired military from the Vietnam era. My dad was the senior officer among 376 POWs of which only 43 survived. He was murdered on 20 Oct 50 before the 187th could jump in on the train carrying the POWs north. He was the S-3 of the 34 Regmt of the 24 ID before his capture. He was bringing up the rear in the evacuation of Taejon for Gen Dean. Dean's aide Lt Tabor was with my dad on the death march from Seoul to Pyongyang. Tabor died during the march when some US Marines strafed the column. Again, more contacts will allow me to flesh out the story. I have most of the facts, but need several personal experiences to give the book greater vividness. Take care, Tom McDaniel
