Korean Conflict 25 Jun 1950 - 27 Jul 1953

The Korean problems that led to a war actually began at the end of WWII when Korea was divided into two countries with the 38th parallel as the dividing line between North and South Korea. North Korea, with approval of Russia and China, invaded South Korea on June 25, 1950 and proceeded to take the capital of Seoul. A UN resolution to support South Korea was passed and UN troops began to arrive in South Korea in September, 1950 which was the beginning of the U. S. involvement in the war. The war continued until July 27, 1953 when a truce was established that included the 38th parallel as the border between the two countries.

Casualties

There are 651 known casualties from Louisiana in the Korean War. I have transcribed two separate lists of Louisiana Casualties and combined the information for the LAGenWeb. The lists were about 95% identical, but each had some casualties that did not appear on the second list as well as differences in the information presented. One list, the "Korean War Extract Data File, as of April 29, 2008, of the Defense Casualty Analysis System (DCAS) Files, part of Record Group 330: Records of the Office of the Secretary of Defense", did not include casualties that were not combat related and did not indicate the cause of death. The second list recorded more casualties than the first list and was extracted from NARA records. The list did not include a birth date or the branch of service, but did include the person's serial number, cities or towns of origin instead of just the parish and the cause of death.

It has been a difficult task combining the two lists into a useful document for researchers, but I hope that it provides informative data for the family researchers who had a family member that died in the Korean War.
