Letter from James Grundy


I AM acting on behalf of the authorities at the United Nations Memorial Cemetery in Busan, South Korea where over 800 British servicemen are at rest.

The authorities wish to obtain photographs of those servicemen interred there and also those who died but have no known grave. These photographs will be attached to their records and also displayed in the cemetery hall of remembrance. The following are just some of the young men from the Wiltshire area who gave their lives in Korea. Flt/Lt John EY King (RAF) Maj Wilfred G Harris 2nd Lt Terence E Waters Pte Brian G Gallop Spr Ronald P Bootle Sgt Douglas SF Wood.

Any family who lost a loved one in the Korean War 1950-53 and wish to take part can send the photograph to me at the address below or contact me by phone for further details.

May I thank you in anticipation for any help you can give on this matter.
