In The Picture of the man standing before the two people on army cots is my uncle Bill Dungan !
An Army Medic and this was captured at city called : ChunChon near the Chosen Resivour Battle Site. To the left of that picture is the little mountain called : Unessisary Mountain.
I was stationed their in 1975 as well : Camp page Where I lived off base is where that picture was taken.
yep, I had a few of these in my possession as my wife and children saw then originals as my dad gave some of them to me to hold onto for uncle bill. Uncle Bill Had Bad Attacks at night from the war so the pictures were in my safe keeping, these as well the man burned alive in the Ground , and some others ! Be nice if you contact me :)
Thats one of uncles pictures as well the man laying dead in the video caption. I had those in my possession and my uncle asked for them back. My uncles name is Bill Dungan and he was a staff Sergeant at the end of the korean war as a medic.He was awarded the Bronze Star. I was the one whom got him to go into the VA and get help or those pictures never would have reached any one else's hands I have on original he gave my wife. Awesome I saw this :) Awesome Sharing ! I wish you will relate :)
My Grandfather Rudy Funes was in the battle of wong chu with the 187th airborne division. His 50 brothers were about to be overrun, he manned the 30 cal until he was shot in the cheek, 50 men later told the same story to the children.
Very cool images, thanks for sharing. Once of my Uncles was a "Mule Driver" in Korea and led mule trains (yes, Mules) loaded with supplies up the mountain trails to soldiers fighting against the Chinese. He told me of the snipers who would take pot shots at them as they wound up the trails.
Good presentation regardless of the origin of the photos and for the record Korea is one that our family missed, Grandfather killed in France in WW 1, Dad WW 2 South Pacific survived, Myself Viet Nam, war is not preferred by any generation yet it seems each has its own anyway. May your ''Dad'' Rest in Peace as mine does now too.
@haberstr - The photos you're referring to, in the first part of the clip, weren't taken by him; they're commonly-seen photos. I guess the uploader put them up to flesh out the clip.
My dad fought in Korea in 1952. He was with the 40th Division, 169th Regiment, Item Company. He was awarded 2 Bronze Stars. I am proud of him and of all our brave veterans who served during combat.
With some measured respect for you father, I echo Marine Corps Major Gen. Smedley Butler's (the most decorated American service member in our history) statement upon his retirement; "there are two things worth going to war for, one; to protect our coasts (borders) two, to protect the Bill of Rights. Anything else is about money." (read "markets.") The N. Koreans aren't "communists." Nor have they ever been. They just use the term. Read your history!
@23coburn Excuse me, sir; you yourself need to look up on your history. MGen. Smedley Butler is not the most decorated American service member in history at all. LtGen. "Chesty" Puller was the most decorated Marine; enlisting as a Pvt @ MCRD Parris Island to Lieutenant General with 5 Navy Crosses, Distinguished Service Cross, Silver Star, Legion of Merit, Bronze Star and an Air medal... MGen. Butler didn't come close.
Thank you so much for sharing 'a big picture' of his life. I am a kiwi (new zealander) and my father also fourt in IIWW. we have the USA to thank for preventing japan from invading australia and NZ. I send you love and peace.
excellent work on the video. Touching. He had talent using a camera, and you have talent putting this video together. Excellent job. nice music too. Thanks for sharing
@catlitta What I'm trying to say is soon North Korea shall be integrated into South Korea under a peaceful Korea (under the conditions SK is in now). I hope it is soon, 24 million people are suffering in NK. :( I hope for reunification soon. It will be hard though.
Beautiful, though some images quite tragic & haunting. My uncles served. One in Korea & one as corpman in WWII...I like the one of your family in front of the Bryant Park fountain in winter. We are grateful for his service. May he rest in peace.
@Communistphilosophy: Too bad you don't know who your father is cause ours porbably shot the hell out of him. But I'm he's to be respected while oppressing your own people and controlling everything they do. That should be commended then right? And I bet your hypocritical sorry ass lives here in the USA. Go live in Iran see how you like it you stupid fuck.
'The war was a result of the physical division of Korea by an agreement of the victorious Allies at the conclusion of the Pacific War at the end of World War II.'
My father flew 100 missions into North Korea during that war..He flew for th 9th FBS under the 49th FBG at the K-2...They started with the F-80C then received the F-84E.....I need to make a video of my fathers pictures to share with everyone.....
@avionicswirenut Pretty amazing... I have no idea what all the F-(Number/Letters) mean, but I'm guessing he was apart of the Air Force? Much respect. :)
@Bjgemini524 The letters F stands for fighter, B stands for bomber , T is a trainer and X means experimental....I am sure there are a few more just cannot remember them right now....The numbers behind the letters are aircraft type....FBS fighter bomber squadron, FBG fighter bomber group.....Hope this helps.....
@avionicswirenut Those pix by yr dad strike some memory chords. I was a combat photographer on TDY in Korea just about the time when the Chicoms came over. Besides the official photographs I took, I also carried a 35mm camera and I took rolls and rolls of film for my own future usage. I sent them stateside to be processed but eventually they were lost. Too bad. I had plans to publish a book with them. Thanks for showing these pix.
@ Lonewolf6565 - TOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know nothing, puppet, I hope you never touch free soil. Many Should agree... Some just do not deserve free soil under their feet!
@BoxingBonnie - Truly historic. The Finest generation for sure. I have my grandfathers Korea Articles from the US Navy. I should do something like what you did. AMAZING~
theres a korean priest at my church who was a 17 yr old who had no training but fought in the korean war. he got captured with other soldiers and the north exceuted everyone but saved him and some of his friends because he was too young and didnt know how to fight. now he says that God saved him.
The worst....many of the Army soldiers that were sent to Korea had no basic training. The casualty rate was so high so fast that there wasn't time. They uniformed them, armed them and sent them into combat, OJT. These young men were tough and brave when they survived the conflict.
Thank's for reminding us about the "Forgotten War". History seems to overlook this conflict. This "Police Action" was fought with WWII weapons in a Nuclear War. Sadly it's seems to be starting up again.
@icemelongreen SK is backed by billions of dollars worth of US Assets and the full might of the US military, not saying SK can't hold their own, but they definitely have a major upper hand with us backing them up.
@kuinosenmonkey Sorry I should have made myself clearer, not all were Japs but the two dead in the dig out had what I believed to be Jap Issue Boots and uniform. If I came across as being blunt then I do apologize and Merry Christmas :-)
@kiwismx5 My father's (1920-1978) "collection" of WW2 photos from the PTO includes a few of those pixes. They must have sold them at the PX or someplace. He did have some personally-taken ones in Darwin (1942-43) of air raid damage, but that album somehow seems to have found its way back to other relatives in California.
Thank you for posting this. This helps to fill in blanks of what the Korean War was all about. Sadly, this war and the sacrifices of these men is fading from the present collective memory. Your father and all of his buddies were heroes.
we are waiting for your father and his men here in china. we are so regret we didn't kill all of them. so we are waiting here to finish anyone who dare to challenge again.
it is nice to see the pictures of warrios together having a good time togeather and not only what is showen in doucmentries and the sort. God bless your father and his kin to have been blessed with a treasuere like a veteran. may you and his comrads know that he helped make the world a better place for all that they have done and though some may forget their legacy will always live on.
@Mayplestory1 Koreans participated in Vietnam War to rape women. This is the historical fact. 5000 of LaiDaihan were left in Vietnam after the war end. That is the proof of the rape by Korean soldiers. This is probably the world record of the rape crime number in the battle field in history of mankind. By the way, there is no report of Japanese half who was born after Japanese left. Koreans are so funny!
@Lonewolf6565 if the chinese hadnt intervened, north korea would be a puppet just like south korea and japan is. being the dogs of the united states is worse than death
@Lonewolf6565 USA can only "save" people with "weapons"?
How long are you gonna keep on doing that, instead of using the wisdom all over the world, also holding deep desires and malice at the bottom and doing weird all over the world?
How much have you made weapons, spoiled the earth and the people's lives "after 1945"?
@TeamRedz Thank God you live in the South. Had the war not occurred the thug Kim Jong il would have taken over the entire country and you would be living under a terrible tyranny at this moment. Enjoy your freedom and be thankful for it. A great many Americans died to make free enough to wright what you want.
Charles Hanley, Pulitzer prize-winning co-author of 'The Bridge at No Gun Ri'...
"People need to know two key points about the Korean War: first, it was the result of the US and Soviet division of Korea; second, an estimated minimum of two million innocent civilians in North and South Korea were killed in the war, many of them by American bombing and gunfire."
Thanks for sharing these personal pictures. I find all & any of these kind of pictures fascinating. They all have stories & most are lost to the sands of time.
My father was 1st cav in Japan also, and shipped in that first wave on the 1st of July. It was a profound experience for one who had already served in combat in the Pacific in WW2. God bless them all

a very touching video picture diary of youre father,no wonder youre a proud man,any one who has a father that gave service like that is someone to be very proud of.
Thanks, Bonnie. Your father was a good man. My father is a WW2 veteran of the Pacific theater and rarely if ever spoke about it. Be proud of your father, he is a good example of those who are willing to shoulder the burdun of freedom.
Thanks BoxingBonnie, this is a great tribute to a forgotten war and the forgotten troops that fought there. You are blessed to have pictures (whether your father took them all or not) of his life experiences. We all thank him for his service.
My condolences on the loss of your dear father and for what he suffered due to war. Let us hope that someday there will be no more wars.
Thank you very much for sharing these. I assume the pictures of Korea in the first half were taken by your father - he had talent, a good eye for subject and composition. I am sure you are very proud of him.
(If these are legit) these photos need to be archived and saved. Several of them should be added to future books written about the Korean War. BTW, I added a video response, as there are pictures of POWs here, and I thought your viewers might be interested to see just what a tumultuous issue the POWs were during the Korean War.
I cannot even speak, I just can't believe what I've seen! I would have loved to have met your father. I'm so happy that you put this together to share with others. It's an important part of history, his, yours, ours.

@Mayplestory1 Koreans participated in Vietnam War to rape women. This is the historical fact. 5000 of LaiDaihan were left in Vietnam after the war end. That is the proof of the rape by Korean soldiers. This is probably the world record of the rape crime number in the battle field in history of mankind. By the way, there is no report of Japanese half who was born after Japanese left. Koreans are so funny!

@Lonewolf6565 USA can only "save" people with "weapons"?
How long are you gonna keep on doing that, instead of using the wisdom all over the world, also holding deep desires and malice at the bottom and doing weird all over the world?
How much have you made weapons, spoiled the earth and the people's lives "after 1945"?

@TeamRedz Thank God you live in the South. Had the war not occurred the thug Kim Jong il would have taken over the entire country and you would be living under a terrible tyranny at this moment. Enjoy your freedom and be thankful for it. A great many Americans died to make free enough to wright what you want.

"People need to know two key points about the Korean War: first, it was the result of the US and Soviet division of Korea; second, an estimated minimum of two million innocent civilians in North and South Korea were killed in the war, many of them by American bombing and gunfire."

My father was 1st cav in Japan also, and shipped in that first wave on the 1st of July. It was a profound experience for one who had already served in combat in the Pacific in WW2. God bless them all

Thanks, Bonnie. Your father was a good man. My father is a WW2 veteran of the Pacific theater and rarely if ever spoke about it. Be proud of your father, he is a good example of those who are willing to shoulder the burdun of freedom.

Thanks BoxingBonnie, this is a great tribute to a forgotten war and the forgotten troops that fought there. You are blessed to have pictures (whether your father took them all or not) of his life experiences. We all thank him for his service.

My condolences on the loss of your dear father and for what he suffered due to war. Let us hope that someday there will be no more wars.
Thank you very much for sharing these. I assume the pictures of Korea in the first half were taken by your father - he had talent, a good eye for subject and composition. I am sure you are very proud of him.

(If these are legit) these photos need to be archived and saved. Several of them should be added to future books written about the Korean War. BTW, I added a video response, as there are pictures of POWs here, and I thought your viewers might be interested to see just what a tumultuous issue the POWs were during the Korean War.

Just because he might not have taken them all himself doesn't mean he didn't collect and keep those images.
