A Scrapbook from the Forgotten War

I recently bought a scrapbook relating to the late Frederick E. Kennedy, a Hobart man who served in the Korean War. It includes many photos from overseas and a few from the states, as well as a few newspaper clippings and documents.

This, I believe, is Frederick himself:

2025-06-20. Pfc. Frederick E. Kennedy (undated)

The insignia on the top of his sleeve is included in the scrapbook.

2025-06-20. 24th Infantry insignia

And this little newspaper clipping, undated, from an unknown source.

2025-06-20. Hobart Man Serves with 24th Infantry (no source, undated)



Frederick lived a long and full life, and died in 2008.

This scrapbook has traveled a bit. As of tomorrow its new, permanent home will be at the Hobart Historical Society museum.
