I have this very busy cover from 1951 with many markings that I am trying to identify the travel history. Most markings have dates, but there are some undated markings I can't determine where they fit chronologically.
Here's the front, reverse and enclosure scans:



Here's an attempt at ordering the markings chronologically:

So, there are significant time periods between January 17 to March 2, and March 24 to May 21 with no dated markings. I would like to understand more completely the routing details, including the timeframe and locations of the undated markings.
I showed this well-traveled cover to my wife, who generally is not interested in the "stamp stuff", and she was thinking about this person (Ross Wright) who may have been serving in the Korean "police action" and maybe was not found due to a related death. Could be interesting to find this person survived!
If anyone is interested in providing any other information about this cover, I would be very grateful.
