23,1950 The International Committee of the Red Cross has furnished an unofficial list of 115 United States prisoners of war in the hands of the North Korean authorities. This list was communicated to the International Committee of the Red Cross by their delegate at Peking who stated that the names included in this list were broadcast on July 17th by Sergeant Floyd A. Roy of the 21st Regiment, 24th Division. Sergeant Roy is reported to have stated in this broadcast "We are 115 POWs, thirteen among us are nursed at the hospital for wounds. We are all treated in a humane manner." The ICRC emphasizes that this is an unofficial list and that the spelling of some of the names may be quite unreliable. They have checked this unofficial list against the two telegrams containing official lists received from the Foreign Minister of the North Korean People's Republic and previously transmitted to the Department. According to the ICRC, forty-eight of these names had already appeared in the official lists received. The following are the names figuring in this unofficial list of American POWs: 21 Regt. 24 Div. 2nd Lieut.
