Harold Sloan from Anne Arundel County Crownsville, Maryland .
Parents: Elizabeth M. Graefe
Service era: Korea
Date of death: Unknown
Death details: By mid-November 1950, U.S. and Allied forces had advanced to within approximately sixty miles of the Yalu River, the border between North Korea and China. On November 25, approximately 300,000 Chinese Communist Forces (CCF) “volunteers” suddenly and fiercely counterattacked after crossing the Yalu. The 2nd Infantry Division, located the farthest north of units at the Chongchon River, could not halt the CCF advance and was ordered to withdraw to defensive positions at Sunchon in the South Pyongan province of North Korea. As the division pulled back from Kunu-ri toward Sunchon, it conducted an intense rearguard action while fighting to break through well-defended roadblocks set up by CCF infiltrators. The withdrawal was not complete until December 1, and the 2nd Infantry Division suffered extremely heavy casualties in the process. Sergeant Harold Sloan, who joined the U.S. Army from Maryland, served with Headquarters, Headquarters, and Service Company of the 2nd Engineer Combat Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division. He was captured by enemy forces on November 30, 1950, as his unit was withdrawing from Kunu-ri to Sunchon. He was marched northward with other prisoners to Camp 5 at Pyoktong, North Korea, where he died of dysentery and malnutrition. He was buried by his fellow prisoners at Camp 5; however, his remains have not been among those returned to U.S. custody. Sergeant Sloan is memorialized on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
