An Army Serial Number is a Military Identification Number. When I was in the Army in 1963/1966, one would have a lifetime social security number for income tax purposes and a military ID number. Back then they were not the same number, but in 1969 it might have changed.

That was the Social Security Number for GI's.

There are virtually no more collective farms in North Korea. Severe droughts and famine in the 1990s completely dismantled the entire system.

There were several gold coins issued to commemorate King Edward VII's coronation in 1902. The £5, £2 and sovereign. The £5 can be worth between £700 and £1500 depending on condition. The £2 coin fetches between £350 and £800 and the sovereign (£1 coin) can fetch between £180 - £500 (check the Mint location for other Edward VII dates i.e. Melbourne, Perth, Sydney or Ottawa....Ottawa coins are very rare). The mint location's initials are on the ground just above the date. Half sovereigns were also struck in 1902 and can be worth £90 - £100 at today's gold prices ($1270 an ounce - £818 an ounce) (September 2010)

The Korean War, June 25, 1950 to July 27, 1953, began when North Korea invaded South Korea.

For the bulk of the cold war, the US tried to recognize Nationalist China as the real China, due to General Chang Kai Shek and his wife and the historical friendship the US had with them from WWII.

But upon their deaths, as well as the Vietnam War, Red China soon evolved over time to be recognized, because of the negotiations that had to be done (extracting ourselves out of the war & getting our POWs returned). Nixon's visit to Communist China did alot to bring recognition to that nation. After all, just showing up there, demonstrated that the country existed.

they see them through barb wire and land mines.

"On 27 June 1950, Truman ordered air and sea forces to help the South Korean courage to resist threat and aggression by Communists." So it's true.

Broadly, the 17 parallel, but in detail mostly following the Ben Hai River.

US Women (and Women of the AXIS POWERS) ran the countries (Built the machines of war) while the men went off to war. Women made them, Men used them.

It was divided between a Soviet-led North Korea and an American-led South Korea along the 38th parallel.

different from what it was today....

Korean stereotypes do not exist in the US.

the USA decided that they wanted to stop the spread of communism which would trigger the domino theory. The domino theory was that if a single country fell to communism then the surrounding countries would fall as well. The USA had also signed the Truman Doctrine that would enable them to go into any country that was at threat of falling to communism and fight to prevent it. Thus the USA decided that Korea and Vietnam were at threat of falling to communism and intended to stop the spread of communism in Asia
