Sunchon Tunnel Massacre (stm)-
20 OCT 1950
A Historian tells us that 376 men were marched or carted from the Moo Hak
school in Seoul to P'yongyang in early October 1950. Only 296 arrived. and
they were loaded into 4 boxcars. The train later stopped (20 Oct 1950) at the Sunchon
tunnel where 100 men were unloaded. Eight were already dead. The N Korean
Army machine gunned them all. Sixty-seven
were shot to death. Twenty-five survived (surv) but 1 died soon after. More
were lost during a strafing by U.S. aircraft. Another
unknown number were shot in a subsequent tunnel a few miles further north.
Bodies were buried beside the tracks after the massacre. The bodies were exhumed
on 1 Nov 1950 and moved to a P'yongyang cemetery. Bodies were exhumed again in
1954 and brought home in Operation Glory (g). However, some bodies could not be
fully identified. Those marked (m) for still missing may be buried in the
Punchbowl in Hawaii or may not have been returned at all.
