Mrs. Curtis Stout of Spartan burg is also a patient at the Ann Jones Rest Home on Hunt St. Thirty months of horror in a Communist prison camp are gone for Cpl. Edward D. Nunnery of Newberry,, they will probably re main alive in his mind for a life time. After those long days of march ing, eating foul food, drinking un sanitary water and living in al most unbearable conditions, he’s at home once more with his par ents and family, living a normal life again. His story, like many other re turned POW’s, is what the Reds wouldn’t have you believe—a story of brutality and death. The corporal’s forced marches would certainly rival that of the Americans at B?.taan and Corregi- dor during World War II. The Newberry corporal’s first march was for three months dur ing which time the prisoners cov ered approximately 1,000 miles. Only 200 of <he 800 prisoners re mained when the §roup reached their destination, the others hav ing fallen e.i route, the corporal said. A second march was ordered when the POW’s were transferred to another camp, Cpl. Nunnery said. That one lasted six months. The ex-POW stated that when the \ men in his troop were at tacked he and another soldier managed to escape when they were surrounded. Several days later he and his companion came upon a wounded soldier, a colonel, who said he would see that they were rewarded if they would help him. Cpl. Nunnery and his com panion told the officer they did not want any reward, but would help him because they loved him. Later the three joined a group of about 100 Americans in a valley. Im mediately they were surrounded by the enemy. All were killed ex cept eight. His companion was killed and Cpl. Nunnery does not know what happened to the of ficer. En route to prison the men slept on the ground without blankets or anything to protect them from the cold.. There was very little food and what they got was poor. The men were weak from the lack of food which caused many of them to become blind. Cpl. Nunnery said that one night he went blind so his buddy said, “Nunnery, put your hand on my shoulder and J will lead you.” Realizing that his buddy was al so very weak he placed his hand lightly on his shoulder. After, a number of hours marching his sight returned and he struggled on in the weary line of marching men. Cpl. Nunnery's weight went down to 109 pounds from the pris on diet of soy beans and sorghum seed, served twice a day. He said the Reds promised the prisoners a meal of chicken and other food and when they finally got it a month or so later in small serv ings, the men were too weak to eat it. The camp and its surroundings were very unsanitary. The corporal’s physical condi tion has improved since his re lease and he has regained much of his lost weight. He said prisoners went many months in camp without a comb. Finally they were issued one comb for every ten men. The men had only one suit of clothing during the. entire winter. It was extremely cold and pris oners slept on the floor. Some of the men, he said, cut down trees and made a bed with boughts and brush. There was no medical at tention scarcely for the sick and wounded. Evervone was given a little white pil 1 for' his ailments. He said men died by the hundreds ATTEND STATE DISTRICT MEET OF DRW Mrs. Edna H. Feagle, director of the local office of the Department of Public Welfare, attended the State District Meting of the De partment of Public Welfare, which was held at Clemson College, Mon day through Wednesday of this week.

CHAPMAN, Chairman. / 20-2tc The Big Three of the last war are being whittled down faster than the Big Four of World War I, and strangely, the oldest of the Big Three is the only one alive today. there. Often the Communists came in and rem »ved a man from a camp withou. an explanation. When the POV/’s were informed that they wi re to be released, the Communists issued soap, tooth paste and other things, Cpl. Nun nery said. He said the prisoners were so outdone over this sudden splurt of hospitality after the long miserable months that as soon as the truck taking the men from prison passed the first MP that they immediately threw the gifts out. In fact he said the men re moved all of their top clothing and threw them away and arrived at Freedom Village in their under wear. Cpl. Nunnery is enjoying the good food his mother is prepar ing for him each day and also seeing familiar scenes. While in prison he said he dreamed about Main St. in Newberry many times. During his stay in prison five members of Cpl. Nunnery’s family died, but his family did not men tion it in their letters. As soon as his mother greeted him at the Columbia airport upon his arrival she told him of the death of his 19-year-old sister, Vera, on Christ mas Eve of 1952 from injuries in an automobile wreck. Then after his arrival home he was told of the passing of two uncles and an aunt and his grandmother. Cpl. Nunnery, the only prisoner of the Korean War from Newberry County, and 19 World War II POW’s were honored at a banquet here Saturday night at the Com munity Hall by service clubs of the city.
