    Does anyone have information or photos regarding the 1952 Korean War POW Olympics?
    Thanks in advance!

      I found that one and it's most interesting. I was able to confirm that a medal, one of at least three to the POW was on the British football (soccer) team and actually to get a photo of the man. I'm hoping that there is more than what's on the internet out there. The North Koreans published the pamphlet and actually sent it to the relatives of the participants and they produced a participants badge too. I'm not sure of how many of the latter survived but it appears that the pamphlet has been reproduced and is sold at POW reunions. I've looked on various sites and haven't come across any for sale though. Thanks again for the lead. Let's hope that after 59 years there may be a vet/POW or relative who can enlighten us on what it was like.
