Hi George:
Here's a good one for you. On our death march there were three hundred eighty P.O.W's started the march. Four months later in a tunnel in Sunchon N.K. there was a massacre of about one hundred and seventy P.O.W's. That was the first night of the massacre, Seven men were wounded and got away that night and the next day and were found by American troops. The next night they took us out of the tunnel (38) P.O.W's and did the same thing to us. At that time I thought there were only two of us that survived. I found out thru Washington three years ago that there were three of us. One died a short time later back home. This is why I am telling you this story. Yesterday the 26th of March I had a phone call and he ask me if I was Ed Slater the P.O.W. from Korea. I said yes and he said - well this is Walter Whitcomb and the only other surviver from the march. I was speachless. After 54 years I thought he was dead. Now was that a surprise or not? I guess they are still out there. He talked with Gerald Harvey in California. That is how he found me.
Hope to see you at Osage Beach?
Ed
