Wandering GI Survives 10 Days Behind Reds in Korea
A bearded tired GI , S/Sgt. Corlis Miller of Colorado Springs, slipped into friendly lines after wandering ten days through Communist territory. He swam cold rivers, lived on corn and water, avoiding mines near the Hwachon area while allied withdrawal began. Miller, with another Stars and Stripes correspondent, had been with French forces on the reservoir’s south bank and then headed toward Dutch units, only to find them gone. He abandoned most gear, kept rifle and canteen, and trekked across mountains after the Dutch and French pulled back.
