During World War II, sons of Chinese immigrants trained at the War Department’s Military intelligence Service Language School (MISLS) at Camp Savage and later at Fort Snelling. These young men were organized as students in training companies and were later assigned to specific units upon graduation.
The division director was First Lieutenant Ernest K. H. Eng, and Staff Sergeants included Wong Kan, Frank Chen and Yuk Ow.

Another outstanding historical researcher was Yuk Ow, who had meticulously culled a wide range of English and Chinese sources for historical information on the Chinese of California since the 1950s. His research was especially strong with respect to biographies and institutions. Ow’s major work was A History of the Sam Yup Benevolent Association in the United States, 1850–1974 (1974), which includes biographies of notable Sam Yup individuals in America. This work, based primarily on his research notes and the records of the association dating back to 1881, is an excellent example of the possibilities of scholarly research using published documents, primary sources, and oral histories. Ow’s death in 1982 deprived the Chinese American community of further results of his research.Chinese Overseas: Migration, Research and Documentation
