The 'KP' one I had never heard before, but was rather just in the text I quoted. I did a quick search of Google, and came up with this from Wikipedia: <blockquote><strong>KP duty</strong> - "kitchen police" or "kitchen patrol," U.S. military slang for mess-hall duties.</blockquote> Thanks for the interest, always nice to have Chinese readers.

They are "KP" and "POW". Could you tell me what they stand for? Thanx. Ryan, I came across two abbreviations in your Blog, which I don’t understand. They are “KP” and “POW”.

One of the most humiliating events for the UNC in the Korean War took place on May 7, 1952, when camp commandant General Dodd was trapped, taken prisoner and put on trial by the communist leaders of compound 76.

And a bunch more on Koje Island.

If you ever want to see just how good Jin's research was, go to the Museum to Commemorate US Aggression (or whatever it's called) in Dandong after reading the book. It's all there, from the Five Campaigns to the kidnapping of the American general (he has a different name in the book). Jin's detail is amazing.
