I AM acting on behalf of the authorities at the United Nations Memorial Cemetery, in Busan, South Korea, where more than 800 British servicemen are buried.
The authorities wish to obtain photographs of the servicemen interred there, and also of those who died but have no known grave.
Copies of the photographs will be placed in the serviceman’s records and will also be displayed on the walls of the cemetery’s hall of remembrance for all time.
The following names are just a few of the young men from the North-East who gave their lives in Korea: Pte. Gerald Clarke, L/Cpl. Kenneth Newby, Rfn.Thomas Ostle, Sgt.Ralph Liddle, Gnr. Ralph.J.Barwick, Pte.Ronald Leggett and Pte.John Bell.
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.
