We connected great, because he is the only person in my family that understands how bad the mountains and winters are in Korea. I wanted to talk to him about his POW time, but he said he does not remember to much about it. All I know was he was a CPL, Airborne, called up from inactive reserve and he had his apendix taken out while being a POW. If you remember him, or have any information about him please let me know.

I was so excited to find this site! I am looking for information on my 
uncle, James A. Wallen, who was reported MIA in July 1950.  

He last reported to roll call on July 18, 1950, and the family was
notified by telegram that he was wounded on July 25, 1950.

Shortly thereafter, another telegram came that said he was MIA.  

We do have reason to beleive that he was taken prisoner.  My 
grandparents received a visit from a young man that claimed that
he was in a prison camp with James, and the last time he was seen 
he was alive and well.  Thank you so much for making this site 
available!

Dear Mr. Barker,

I am the son of MSG(ret) Florentino Gonzales.  My father served on
the combat unit to engage North Korean units as part of Task Force 
Smith, commanded by Lt. Col. Brad Smith, on July 5, 1950.

To date, what I know, my father was: one of two machine gunners 
assigned to the the Task Force drawn out of occupation duty stationed
in Camp Woods, Japan, from the 24th Infantry Division, now 
mechanized.

In the engagement that ensued, my father's machine assistant, was 
a kid from Ohio, named Vernon Anthony Wade,
whom my father attempted to save, while the Force was being 
out-flanked and effectively over-runned after 7 hours of fighting 
with enemy forces. From what I have been able to collect, my father
volunteered to cover the withdrawing forces. He was the sole 
surviving machine gunner. The other, I assume was taken out.  

Thinking of the size of the enemy force, in the thousands, compared 
to the hundreds in Task Force Smith and also outgunned and manned 
with inexperienced kids.I still find it a wonder that the Task Force
was able to hold back the enemy for 7 hours.

From what I been able to acertain, from sparodic conversations with 
my Father, various books, and pieces of literature, my Father 
provided cover, tried to protect his assistant, Wade.  In the process, 
a grenade was hauled over my Father's nest which landed at the 
slope behind my Father's position and roll into the fox-hole where 
Wade had taken cover as instructed by my Father.  Wade was killed.

To Wade's misforture, his demise was not immediate.

What resulted was my Father's position being eventually over-runned, 
him taken captive, and spent the entire Korean War as a P.O.W.  

If you can obtain the May 11, 1953 issue of Life 
magazine, you will encounter a picture of my Dad, along with other 
POWs being paraded thru the streets of Seoul .he is in a row of 
three, under a banner, from left to right, consisting of a tall lanky 
white male, an injured Black man, and my Dad.  At the time, it was 
believed that he was a KIA.

After the war and release, my Father received the Distinguished 
Service Cross for his actions.  He later on graduated thru the ranks 
up to Master Sargent serving in various G-2 units across three regions,
Europe, Vietnam, and Korea.

I thank you for your time.

The Florczyk Family was notified in 1950 that their son and brother

for information from the military followed that notification.

Since that time, the family has wondered if it was possible that Edward

Last month, after reading the Readers Digest publication of Johnson's

Am trying to locate anyone who may have served with my uncle,
Cpl. Leland Ford Smith.  He served with Company K, 35th Regiment.

He was from Angola, Ind and served from 1949 until his death around
28 Feb 1951.  He was reported missing on 28 Nov 1950, then was
imprisoned in a POW camp until his death.  

Am looking for any information as to the whereabouts of his last days.
The body was never returned.  Hope this information helps.  If you 
need any more information that I might be able to provide, please let 
me know.  Thanks much!

I need info on my grandfather. He was a POW in the korean war named:
Delmas Floyd. I don't know his rank, all I know is that he was in the 
ARMY.  He never speaks about the war and the very thoughts of it send 
him into nightmares and flashbacks.

I just want some info on it for my records.  I am very proud of him for
being able to survive but don't want to bring the issues up to make 
him have nightmares.  Please help if you can.

His name again is Delmas (Del) Frank Floyd.  He is from Louisiana.

From KWP; He was taken about Nov 27, 1950, now I need to find where the
unit was, possibly in support of Chosin, not sure.

I'm trying to find information/or how to get information on 
Sumner John Kubinak.  He was declared MIA in Unsan Korea 11/26/1950.  

He was laterawarded the Bronze Star 6/10/1952 and Purple Heart 1/4/1954
I don't know much else.

Thank you for whatever help you can offer.

Susan Kubinak, DVM.

---more info----

This info is on this background material for his Bronze Star.  

He was scheduled for return July 21, 1950.  The Korean action
started in June and he was sent to Korea with the Ord Small Arms Dept.
At the front lines he joined the 8th Army Ranger Company.

Apparently there were involved in a takeover of a hill.  "In their sixth
assault, the hostile force gathered its entire strength and launched a
tremendous attack in an attempt to dislodge the friendly troops from 
the hill.  Because of the overwhelming numbers of the enemy, 
instructions were received by the company to withdraw.  

As his comrades fell back, Corporal KUBINAK steadfastly remained 
in his position in order to provide covering fire and, when last seen, 
was still pouring fire into the ranks of the onrushing enemy with 
deadly precision."

That was on his section II AWARD OF THE BRONZE STAR MEDAL. 
Do you know much about the 8th Army Ranger Company.

I got these papers copied and sent to me by his nephew and namesake,
Sumner Pearce Kubinak.

i am looking for more information about him.  his name was
lawrence alison pauly.

---from KWP-----

Linda,

He was in the 536th Engineer Maintenance Co. a specialized
unit that did hevy construction.

You may see his record on our database. The date indicates he
was captured on or about Nov 1, 1950 which would have been during
the large scale assault northward pushing the North Koreans toward
China.

Dear sir,
My father Thomas R. Klinger was a prisoner of war in Korea. He served 
with a chemical war unit and was captured in April of 1950. My family is
searching for anyone who was with my father.

He passed away four years ago and never talked about his experiences. 
We are eager to learn anything about this time.  Thanks so much for your
website and any help you can offer. 

My father was from Catasauqua Pennsylvania and was also a veteran
of wwII.
