Based on a series of one hundred pen and ink drawings by Captain
Benjamin Comeau, a POW at Camp #1 in Korea from 1950-53, Honey
Bucket Charlie contains letters Comeau wrote during his time in the
prison camp, as well as photographs and interviews with his son,
brother, and grandson. From Central Texas, Comeau enlisted in the
Marine Corps during World War II, was wounded at Iwo Jima, left the
Marine Corps and then joined the army in time for service as an
infantryman in the Korean War. He was taken as a POW by the Chinese
in November of 1951 and remained a prisoner until June of 1953.
Comeau remained in the army and later served a year in Vietnam. He
was an extraordinary man who has left us an equally extraordinary
group of drawings describing his time as a POW. Honey Bucket
Charlie has an introductory chapter by author and scholar Lewis
Carlson.
