Well, now we are in Yongdung-po, a suburb of Seoul. After getting off guard duty (on the train) my three guards and I were given a late supper and then we caught up with the rest of our outfit which was staying at a small army camp in the center of this town. All of our vehicles had been taken down to the port of Inchon and we were to follow later the next day.

Two of my daughters came from Yongdung-po twenty-five years later.   (continued)
