History

Camp Henry was built by the Imperial Japanese Army in 1921 and served as the headquarters for General Jiro Minami, the Governor-General of Korea (1936-1942) and the supreme ruler of colonized Korea, and the Japanese forces located in the Daegu City area. During the Korean War, the camp saw little action because it was inside the northern edge of hat became known as the Pusan Perimeter. The camp was used by the Korean Army after its liberation from Japan in 1945 and then the United States after the Korean War. The camp was memorialized in May 1960 in honor of First Lieutenant Frederick F. Henry, who served with Company F, 38th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division. Henry was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for action near Andong, Korea on September 1, 1950.
