Interesting, John -
According to SK sources, UN forces used some sort
of biochemical ("white powder') against NK partisans operating in SK in the
Spring-Fall of 1951. I believe an American vet has confirmed
it.
Gen. Choe Hyon was the over-all commander of the
partisans, mostly NKPA troops stranded by the Inchon landing in
1950, at the time. Choe made it back to NK with 2,000 or
so survivors and became a national hero of NK.
Choe began his military career when he was about
12, as a messenger boy for Gen. Hong Bum Do (a Korean hero worshipped in South
Korea) in China and Siberia.
Kim Il Sung had three lengthy docu-drama films
on Choe's life made. He also devoted two sections on Choe in his
memoirs. I have not seen the films and so don't know if they mention UN
BCW in South Korea.
