Lost GI’s Run Behind Reds Ends Free After 18 Days
Two American doughboys, Kenneth E. Tye of Kansas City and Sgt. Charles R. North of Barberton, survived 18 days behind enemy lines in Korea. With empty rifles they killed six Red soldiers, lived on hillside fruit, endured cold and hunger, and escaped to their lines after striking toward their own positions. They joined another outfit after their unit was overrun, faced multiple banzai assaults, and avoided capture by disguising themselves as they moved north of Taegu amidst a wary, underarmed Korean People's Army.
