Hello! My name is Neil Robinson. I am the youngest of my late father, Sgt. Stanley Robinson, who was also called by friends, "Ben".

I am trying to find out if there is anyone out there, who may know Sgt. Stanley Robinson, who served in the Korean War. I understand from some resources and my father himself, that he was captured by the Chinese Communists while serving with A Company (please correct me if I am wrong) at Imjin River around 25th April 1951. His name was mentioned in a book called 'The Imjin Rolls'.

His name was also mentioned in Farrar-Hockley's book titled "The Edge of The Sword". Please can anyone tell me what my father was really like during that war? I can understand if you do not want to talk about your experiences, but I would be most grateful if you could help me with the above query.

Look forward to hearing your reply soon. Thank you.

Regards
Neil

I sugest you visit the web site here:

http://www.glosters.org.uk/

and open a research ticket for a proper answer. If they cannot give you more information then you have already, they will refund you.

Another option would be to post a query to the Regimental Associaion site here:

http://www.rgbw-association.org.uk/

as an Association member might well have known him.

Good luck with your quest.
