    That is a very common sounding name, it may be hard to locate him exactly.

    I don't know if this may be the person for whom you are looking - not an obituary, but some information on him and circumstances around his death....

    Koje-do Prison POW Camp - Korean War Project (These riots occurred in 1952 during the Korean War)

    Kojedo Prison Unit

    Date: Fri, 16 Aug 1996 From: Lester Robinson llrobin@earthlink.netDear Ted,I really do appreciate your answer to my query about the Chinese POW riots.My question, Is it possible for me to contact any of those people you know who were stationed at the prisons. An e-mail or snail mail address,doesn't matter. I don't expect anyone to write an essay about what happened, though I would gladly accept it. Maybe someone would have an old newspaper or magazine clipping that would give a good description of the riots. Needless to say I wouldcertainly be glad to get a copy of whatever there is.My brother's name was Robert E. Robinson. He was about28 or 29 years old at the time. He held the rank of Tech Sergeant I believe, 3 chevrons top and 2 on bottom. I knew of the riots only from his letters. I was never able to talk to him in person since he was killed in an automobile accident shortly after he arrived back in the states. His two sons were very small when he died. My brother's widow is now deceased. Each of his sons are fully grown, married and have children. I tell my nephews the horrible stories that he wrote to me. To them the stories sound fictitious. That is why I am asking for help to prove those events really did happen. Thank you very much,Sincerely,Lester RobinsonUpdate 1998

Robinson I was recently given a letter with new information about my brother SFC Robert E. Robinson. In this letter he informs his brothers and sisters that he now has a new address which is now, SFC Robert E. Robinson, 9th MP Service Co., APO 59, c/o PM, San Francisco, CA. In a letter dated 22 Feb 1952 he states that he is now in PUSAN and on his way to the 9th MP SV Co on Koje DO (sp). In another letter dated 10 June 1953 he writes "I received my assignmentto Camp Drake in Japan today where I will be assigned to another unit." Sincerely,Lester L.
