A small group of slides by LTC William H Weand, US Army. No notes on slides, unfortunately.
Lt Col. Weand was born Nov 13, 1924, and died April 9, 2015. He was a veteran of WW2, Korea, and Vietnam.

This is a remarkable album of photos taken very early in the Korean War by a member of the 8035th Signal Detachment named Don Colton. They ran and maintained UHF frequency relay stations between Korea and Japan. These slides were part of a lot of almost 900 slides taken mainly in Japan in the 1950s. These precious images were left as trash after Mr. Colton died, by his family. Fortunately, they were saved by the source I purchased them from. I wish there had been more of these Korean slides. I will do a seperate album of his Japan slides later. I want to thank the seller of these slides fro tracking down the name of the photographer.

korea 1977 This is a group of slides taken in Korea during July and August of 1977. I know nothing else about them-there were no notes on the slides. They came from ebay, and the seller knew nothing about them,either. I think many of them might have been taken in the Busan area.
