Roscoe
Photos and stories about the dog who "commanded" an Air Base from
those who raised Roscoe, to those who encountered Roscoe, to those who have guarded his legacy and legend!
Welcome! Many of us who were temporary inhabitants of Korat RTAFB, might have heard of, seen, been in the company of, or gotten in the way of Roscoe. Roscoe was unique. Many stories have been told of his life and times on the Air Base. His presence in briefings, or in the Clubs is the basis for many "legend" type stories. Many are true, and many are the maybe slightly exaggerated as a result of one too many "pops", or the passing of time and decreasing gray matter! Regardless, thousands of people have knowledge of Roscoe, and he has secured his place in history. He has been documented in published articles and books, and the presence of his marker on the current Korat Royal Thai Air Force Base still elicits comments and questions about his life.
There has been some conjecture as to how Roscoe first appeared on base. Some say that he just showed up on base one day, that he was a local. But independent sources have confirmed that he was from elsewhere. Quote one writer to me: "... but I didn't agree with ROSCOE being a Thai mut adopted off the streets. I was TDY with the son of Capt Roscoe Anderson some years ago when we put up the markers presently standing. He told me that the dog did come from Japan in a Thud." I would think he would know for sure.
What is presented here is what I've received from a few generous folks who wished to document what transpired on this base, and that Roscoe was a unique part of its history during the Vietnam War years, and is still a formidable presence today! As always, any stories, photos or related facts that you readers out there have that you would care to share would be deeply appreciated. Go to the Communicate Page to find the email contact.
What we'd really like is some video/8mm film of Roscoe in his element on base. Please contact me if you can assist with this.
