    About this ebook

    The order was given by someone important and passed on hastily one man to the next until it reached Cpl. George Purdy and the men of his unit; "Orderly Withdrawal! This vague and generalized military term for George meant that he would have to run for his life and there was nothing orderly about it! Korea, A Soldiers Forgotten War is a harrowing tale of one soldiers personal fight to stay alive during and after the war. I gave my word to my father that I wouldn't share his secrets while he was alive. Now, after his passing, those secrets are revealed in this captivating true account of his war time experiences.
