Over the hill escape ends with homeward dream
Pvt John Crane of Plainfield New Jersey walked away from Korea and the Army by donning a clean uniform and hitchhiking home. He navigated guards and ships to reach Alameda then claimed he was going home. Camp Kilmer later confirmed he had been missing since August 11. His bid failed, and he is to return to Korea. The piece also notes other oddities from the era including hamsters, buried money, a parrot hero, pigeons, and a misfired general’s homecoming.
