Oral History Interview, 2004. Video Recording: 4 videorecordings (ca. 115 min.); ½ inch, color. Transcript: 0.1 linear ft. (1 folder). Military Papers: 0.1 linear ft. (1 folder). Abstract: Clifford C. Borden, Jr., a Summit, New Jersey native, discusses his career in the Army, including his service with the Army Security Agency during the Korean War. Borden touches on his awareness of World War II while growing up and his rough awareness of Korea. He discusses worrying about the draft because he was not getting very good grades in college and enlisting in the Army Security Agency. Borden mentions attending armored infantry basic training at Fort Knox (Kentucky) and radio traffic analysis school at Fort Devens (Massachusetts). Assigned to Supreme Headquarters in Tokyo, he talks about duties as the noncommissioned officer in charge of typing intelligence summaries. In 1953, Borden discusses requesting an inter-theater transfer and being sent to the Army Security Agency Headquarters in Seoul. He describes the destruction in Seoul, the use of dogs for meat, and the efforts of Korean civilians to earn money from GIs through black markets, prostitution, shoe shining, and pick-pocketing. He talks about handing out gum to Korean kids. Borden discusses how South Koreans made examples of spies by hanging them off bridges and of draft dodgers by shooting them. -
