 | Subject: Chonggo-dongPosted by shawn Monday, January 07, 2008 at 14:19:58 Message: Dear Sir, I have read that the 21st Infantry reached the high water mark for US forces in the 8th Army during the Korean War. That this was 18 air miles south of the Yalu at Chong-Go-Do or Chonggo-dong. I am unable to locate this on Earth Google. Could you help me locate via lat-longs or some other reference? Thank you.

We were in sight of the Yalu when we were withdrawn because of the enterance of the Chinese into the war. The place that you are atempting to locate would have to be Chonggo-dong. Chong-Go-Do would be an island. That was the meaning of the addition of the suffick "Do" to and name in the Korean language at that time. The Lat-longs you are looking for are approximately 40N and 125. I tryed this and could not find out anything. Good luck Don Lennon | |
