Helen - I think this may be the answer to other book query you had. The following is an extract from the website:
www.sligoheritage.com/archnewsround4.htm
"Gurteen (County Sligo) native Sean Taheny's recollections of his experiences while serving in the US army in the Korean war forms one of the central parts of a new a book called The Far Side of the World: Irish Servicemen in the Korean War. The book is the work of Kildare historian James Durney. Durney had a keen interest in Korea and the history of the war. However he decided to write the book when he stumbled on an internet website which was involved in a campaign to get recognition for 29 Irish immigrants who gave their lives in the Korean War."
The author's email address is
jamesdurdsl@eircom.net . He can let you know how to get a copy of the book.
Good luck
