Actually, you are right, John.

Japanese engineers who had built and operated dams, including "Jangjin",
were rounded up by the US for dam-busting missions.

I believe there is a book, written by a Japanese historian, that documents
Japanese participation in the Korean War.

Thanks for the clarification!

I always wondered where that was located.

How about "Few"? What does that stand for?

How did it all start?
Could it be some staff members of GH in Tokyo were using
Japanese-made Korean maps?
