American soldiers

[Brigade Piron]

My apologies if I have already asked this here, but I have tried on several forums without success.

I recently got a North Korean flag (which can be found in my album) which was said to have been the "taken" by an American soldier, Pfc. Gustav "Gus" Brown of the 9th US Infantry Division, some time around 1951-2. He served as an artilleryman before being transferred to the artillery. He survived the war.

Unfortunately I know that the 9th ID never served in Korea, so I would like to find out more about him: even if I could just find his division, I'd be very grateful.

Anyway, is there any way that I could find out about the guy without (a) being a relative and (b) going stateside?

I had abandoned any hope of finding military records of any sort until I unexpectedly managed to find dozens of documents on various Belgian soldiers I was interested in.

Any help would be much appreciated!
