軍隊生活で最も記憶に残っている出来事

All the POW's were sent to Kojido island in Korea. I understood that there were 80,000 POW's there. There was one regiment of G.I.'s, about 3,000, to guard them. P.O.W.'s were kept in numerous compounds. Each compound contained approximately 2 to 3 thousand P.O.W.'s. We were sent there to separate pro-communist and non-communist. We had a hard time getting them out of their compounds. G.I.'s used tear gas to get them out. After we got them out, we found that they had tunnels dug from one compound to another and they had all kinds of hand made weapons. That was when one of the G.I. Generals went in the compound and was taken hostage.
