Last American prisoner from the Korean War to be released from forced labor camp
The prisoner in question, is Lieutenant Mark Wallace from Leonardtown in Maryland, who was captured by the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army near the Chosin Reservoir, in November 1950, after being severely injured by an artillery shell.
Unfortunately for him, he was in the coma for almost four years after his capture, and was therefore not eligible to be returned home at the signature of the cease fire.
He only regained consciousness in 1955, and spent the last 60 years of his life as a prisoner of war, living in terrible conditions in both military prisons and forced labor camps.
