One Comment to “Koje-do Prison Camp – Gallery”
I was assigned to Koje-do enclosure 36 I believe. I was there during both little and big switch. It was a miserable place to be. We had a lot of riots and I do recall some prisoners being shot and a few killed. We used tear gas and CN-DM baseball grenades during th riots. Was glad to get the war over and reassigned to 560th MP Co inh Pusan.
Was on Koje 1953.
