Comments: I'm looking for a man who was a Military Police in the Marine Corp and was stationed at Okinawa, Japan during 1945. He was then sent to Korea. We have a picture of him but don't really have a name. We think his last name is "Jenks" and we know he was from Hawaii. He was involved with a Japanese women during this time and got her pregnant so the daughter is looking to find this man or any relatives he may have. We think he is around 90 years old so he may be deceased.

I am seeking any information regarding the above Units during those time frames.

Comments: I was wounded along with another Marine at the Naktong River on or about September 6, 1950. A "one-lung Charlie" flew over our heads and dropped a bomb that exploded just above us. I received a perforated ear-drum and the other Marine received schrapnel to the forehead. I believe he was one of those younger guys and that he was later in in Japan at the re-training center. If anyone knows who this fella might be, or how we can contact him we would be very greatful.
