I AM acting on behalf of the authorities at the United Nations Memorial Cemetery, Busan, South Korea, where over 800 British Servicemen are buried.
The authorities there wish to obtain photographs of those servicemen interred there, and, also of those who died but have no known grave.
Copies of the photographs will be placed in the man’s records, and will also be displayed on the walls of the Cemetery Hall of Remembrance for all time.
The following names are just some of the young men from the Yorkshire area who gave their lives in Korea: 2nd Lt Christopher R P Hoare, Pte Harry Arno, Gnr Robert Harrison, Fus Peter Dutton, Cpl Eric Stone, Gnr Malcolm Tinkler, Fus Robert South, Tpr Peter G Dixon, Pte Leslie Brickwood, Fus George Cooper, Pte Kenneth E Doneathy, Maj Charles A H Blake, Gnr Alfred Ogden, Pte Leslie Rolly, Pte John Holland.
Any family, or friend, who lost a loved one in the Korean War, 1950 to 1953, and wishes to take part can send the photograph to me at the address below.
If more information is required, you can call me on 0161 368 5622 or 07467 037742, or email bhough116@gmail.com
