KANSAS KOREAN WAR CASUALTIES

On June 25, 1950, North Korean forces invaded South Korean. Fulfilling our United Nations commitment, United States forces were immediately dispatched from Japan; first contact between U.S. and communist combatants was July 3. Between then and the truce July 27, 1953, 33,651 were killed in action, died of wounds, or died while captured or missing (at one time, over 8,000 were listed as missing).

This list of Kansas casualties was provided by Louis Linn.
