Eleven American GIs Freed by Cambodia
Eleven American soldiers were released by Cambodia after five months in captivity and arrived in Bangkok on a commercial flight. A late-arriving American was not well enough to travel, remaining in Phnom Penh. The group, captured last July when their river boat entered Cambodian waters, heads to Clark Air Base in the Philippines for Christmas. A injured helicopter pilot, Spec. 4 Earl Gurnsey, stayed behind due to condition. The release was announced by Prince Norodom Sihanouk as a Christmas gesture of goodwill. The men were handed to the Australian Embassy in Phnom Penh for transport. Participants include Warrant Officer Ralph W. McCullough, Harley M. Cassell Jr., John R. Chevallier, Donald E. Grigsby, Lee E. Henry, Terry L. Kramer, Donald E. Price, Harold D. Simms, Floyd A. Wilmoth, Klaus Zupp, and Winfred D. Crowe.
