Note: If anyone wants to contribute an article to this series feel free to send it to me using the “Contact” link above. If it is of high enough quality I will publish it here on the ROK Drop. I would particularly like to publish articles about camps that are now closed. If you have served on a now closed camp and would like to share your thoughts and pictures of your time on the camp please write an article and send it to me or post it in the Forums.
I noticed that in your catalog of listed bases that you did not mention Camp Pelham near Munsan. I spent one wild night in the ville outside there in the late 80’s. The name I always subscribed to the place was Sonyo-ri(sp?). I am wondering if any of the readers of this have any stories about that place they would like to share? Hold it, I just saw the posting above that talked about Western Corridor camps. Perhaps my question will be answered there? I will check and get back to this thread.
Thanks for the list of links, GIKorea. 😎
@Tangum City Tim, the Western Corridor Camps link does talk about Camp Pelham there. Like I mentioned in the above posting if you want to put together a more detailed posting about Camp Pelham, feel free to send it in and I will publish it.
@Bruce, your welcome. I hope you enjoy the reading. I will update this list as I put together more postings. These type of postings are pretty time consuming to put together so I can’t publish them as regularly as other postings.
Don’t see Camp Market up until 1973 is where all troops coming into country process and found out where they were going to assigned. If going to 2nd INF were sent to 2nd AG. I understand that when Yongsan closed 121 Evac Hospital moved there. I was assigned to 199th PSC, 6th P&A BN
Curtis, CP Market is closing and being returned to the Korean government. 121 moves to CP Humphreys (first patient date is scheduled for November of this year). Last activities on CP Market is some AAFEES warehousing and bakery.
I was at 199th PSC Camp Walker. I miss the Hilltop Club. Mr.Moon was the manager. I was in country ’73-’75. I had a great time!
The Hilltop was closed in the mid 1990’s. It was just a vacant space and then it was rebuilt. now it is closed for renovation.
with 199th PSC 72 to 73 Cp Market, then 73 to 76 when we moved to Yongsan
