The Korean War Project is excellent! 

Need your help if possible -can you point me to any information on 
American women in the military in Korea - is there any info on nurses,
MASH hospitals, or flight nurses out there somewhere??

Am compiling a brief set of pages on women veterans and am coming up
empty on Korea.  And am almost ashamed to admit that I was on active
duty at that time - plus a few more years lasting till 1971 - but I am
at a loss on what was happening overseas. 

any thing you can suggest would be genuinely appreciated.

thanks, Barbara

Mr. Barker,

My husband and I are writing a book on Hoosiers in the Korean
War. At this point, I am especially looking for women who served
in the Korean War.  Can you put this request on your site?  

Thank you.
