PFC James Hare went overseas in 1949. Not long afterwards he ended up in Korea.
He was captured. He died in a POW camp, and was buried in a mass grave.
His remains were in a group of 450 sets of remains returned by North Korea in the early 1990s. It took a while, but PFC Hare’s remains were finally positively identified.
Rest in peace, my elder brother-in-arms. Rest in peace.
