ABSTRACT

The communists in typical communist fashion being highly chagrined that they had not succeeded in capturing us and also as an alibi to the North Korean people for their failure to look after either military or civilian sick or to control epidemics charged us, in the spring of 1951, with having started biological warfare, or bacterial warfare. A Korean naval officer who was an outstanding guerrilla fighter, by the name of Commander E. Yun, was also to go along. The Korean agent in the boat, who was in contact with the presumed friendly agents, found that these agents could not respond properly to certain code words, which could be known only by the own people. A radio message was sent to General Headquarters in Tokyo giving a brief statement as to the findings. The impact of disease on military operations is a repetition of history over and over again.
