None of the actors actually served in the Korean War, but two of them served with the US Army in Korea after the Korean War. This was Alan Alda, who played Hawkeye pierce, and Jamie Farr, who played Max Klinger. The dog tags Klinger wore during the show were really his own.

The characters on the show are all in Korea, as for the actors that's a different story.

The Korean War took place from 1950 to 1953. The MASH TV show did not debut until 1972, a lot of the actors in the show were teenagers during the Korean War. However, reagarding who of the cast members served in the real Korean War, that's another question.

Two of the cast members, Jamie Farr (Klinger) and Alan Alda (Hawkeye Pierce), served in the U.S. Army in Korea in the 1950s after the Korean War. The dog tags Farr wears on the show are his actual dog tags. Farr served as part of a USO tour with Red Skelton.
