In October 1950, two hundred and fifty American POWs were loaded onto a train in Pyongyang and sent north to Manpo.  At a tunnel a few miles north of Sunchon, almost one hundred were shot. Twenty-three survived.  The train continued on until it became disabled due to an American jet attack.  It stopped south of Kujang-dong. Thirty-three more men were shot and ninety-one more marched north.  Three survived at Kujang.  Three more finally reached Manpo ten days later.  The others simply disappeared.

Today, only eight of these men are still alive -- Allan Gifford, Ed Slater, Bob Sharpe, Walt Whitcomb, Valdor John, Bill Henninger, Jim Yeager & Sherman Jones.  A ninth, George Snodgrass, escaped before the massacre. "Sunchon Tunnel Massacre Survivors" is their story. 

Bob Sharpe About Friends:

 

 

MY FRIEND

I lost my friend along the way

To this place I call now.

I didn’t want to lose my friend

But I did and don’t know how.

 

I remembered how he looked at me

as I lay him down to rest

when he said, “I can’t go on old pal,

you’ve seen my very best.

 

So leave me now and go your way

And when your journey ends

Remember me beside this road

Your buddy and your friend”.

 ~ Shorty Estabrook,

Survivor of the “Tiger Death March
