KOREA in 1954
written by Raymond Edward Moon
 WE FIRST LANDED IN KOREA AT PUSAN AFTER
A ROUGH CROSSING FROM KOBE IN JAPAN.
FROM THERE WE WENT TO SEOUL TO GET USE TO THE CLIMATE WERE STAYED TWO WEEKS THEN WE WERE PUT ON A TRAIN THE JOURNEY
TOOK THREE DAYS, THE ONLY WAY WE COULD SLEEP WERE ON THE LUGGAGE RACKS AS THE SEATS WERE WOODEN SLATES,WE WOULD STOP
EVERY FEW HOURS AT HUT ON THE SIDE OF THE TRACKS SO WE COULD GET WATER.
THE LONGER WE WENT NORTH THE COLDER IT
GOT WHEN WE REACH OUR STOP WE WERE THEN
LOADED ONTO TRUCKS FOR ANOTHER DAY TRAVELING TO OUR OWN REGIMENTS WHEN WE
GOT THERE WE WERE ALL LINED UP AND TOLD
TO DROP OUR KEGS THEN THE SARGENT /MAJOR
WENT ALONG THE LINE LIFTING OUR DINGALINGS WITH HIS STICK SAYING M/O PASS/ M/O PASS AND SO ON HE SAID BECAUSE
WE HAD BEEN IN JAPAN WE COULD HAVE PICKED SOME THING UP WHICH SOME OF THEM
HAD.

There is nothing worse than breaking down. But if you do, the RAC have more than 1,500 patrols ready to rescue you, whether you are at the shops or on the motorway. They will always try to fix your vehicle at the roadside, but if they cant they will make getting it repaired as painless as possible.
