POW CAMP #3 - BOHUS JANDA

Comments: I am getting a book together based on the letters my father-in-law wrote from POW Camp #3 to his family back home in Texas. He is now deceased and did not speak much of his captivity when he was with us. He was held for 3 years - he was captured on November 30, 1950. He mentions one buddy he had in camp by the name of Stephen Rada from Pennsyvania - I believe my Father in law made a connection with this young man because he was a "Slovak" which Bohus felt was very close to being of Czech decent like himself. If anyone has any information regarding Camp #3 or the march with took the prisoners to that camp I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Connie

Comments: Does any POW veteran remember my uncle, the Scottish American Sergeant John McCracken? He was captured May 5, 1951 and repatriated 28 months later on September 9, 1953. He was in Ch'ang-Song among other places. The Chinese and North Koreans called him a "bad boy" for coaching POW's on how to resist indoctrination, and was tortured as a result. I would like to know more about what happened to him and his buddies while in captivity. John passed away peacefully in summer 2008.

He is still kicking and I want to write a book about his experiences in POW Camp3, the Death March, and all his other experiences. Some of his memories are fuzzy and some are crystal clear. It's painful for him to remember some details. Anyone who knew him or just want to talk about your life as a POW at Camp 3 or as a Tiger Survivor, please respond. I believe it's a story that needs to be told - the real story. Thanks for your help.

Comments: My uncle,Charles "Sonny" King was captured at Kunu-ri on 12-1-50 and died as a POW on 3-31-51. I have noticed several others captured on the same date and also died on the same date. I am trying to find out details on what happened. Sonny was a Cpl. in HQ Battery 82nd Anti-Aircraft Battalion @nd Infantry Division. If anyone knew Sonny or has any other info I would love to here from you.

Comments: I am looking more anyone who may have served as a POW with my cousin Wayne (Slim) Caddell in Camp 3. I do not know much about how he was captured or what branch of military he was in. Wayne (Slim) Caddell wrote a song while he was a POW called The Prisoner of War Song. He would sing it in Camp and eventually it spread through out the different camps and was favored by the American POW's. Wayne recored and produced this song in 1984 in Nashville TN. At the time and I think still is the only POW song that has been recorded and produced. I am working on my family genealogy and would appreciate any information on Wayne Caddell that someone may have, stories, military information, how and when he was captured etc.
Thank you in advance.
