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 wish to obtain photographs of those servicemen interred there and of those who died but have no known grave. (over 200).
Copies of the photographs will be placed in the servicemen’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 Hampshire area who gave their lives in the Korean War.
Pte Alan L Saunders, Pte Peter J Davis, L/Bdr Ralph Archer, Pte George F Harris, Fus Basil L Cox, Pte John D Heward, Pte Raymond T Othen, Lt Alexander RennyTailyour, Cpl Roy L V Hurst, Pte Eric E Harrison, Plt/3 Stanley W E Ford (RN) Spr James Goodman and L/Cpl Derek D Blair.
Any family or friend who lost a loved one in the Korean War 1950-53 and wishes to take part can send the photograph to me.
If more details are required you can phone me on 0161 368 5622 or 07467 037742. You can also email bhough116@gmail.com
May I thank you for any help that you can give on this matter.
Brian Hough, 116 Fields Farm Road, Hyde, Cheshire, SK14 3NP
