My apologies, it could very well be exactly that - a firing squad wall. Thinking of those butchers from the North clouds my rational thinking. They murdered many of the men captured in those early days of July 1950 from the 24th Infantry Division. That clouds my thinking.

Probably not a firing squad wall. Early photos and write up by Roy Appleman, describe how the North Koreans had their victims, including US POWs dig their own graves or have them just lie down on the ground and fire into them. North Korean butchers did that at Tageon and Tague. Some of that history at 24thida.com. The first ground combat unit in Korea - the 24th Infantry Division from Kyushu, Japan.
