Finding the faces of forgotten comrades
By Serin HaEvery Sunday morning, Brian Hough, 89, sits in front of his computer in Manchester and writes to the editors of local newspapers across the UK.In the emails, Brian is sending a letter asking people to send him photos and stories of his fallen comrades during the Korean War between 1950 and 1953.
"I have a list of all the newspapers printed throughout the United Kingdom. I do a geographical area each week," he says. "The lads, most of them that died, they went into the army with their pals, and they are lying with their pals." Jim Grundy, who died in August, started the project, but Brian soon took over as Jim's health deteriorated.
"In the early days, photographs were coming in week by week. Now, I've had six this year, that's all," he says."But they are still coming, slowly now."
