   I noticed the same thing, and either I saw the same article in more   
   than one place, or the error has been duplicated.   
      
   Clearly it means he served in Korea, but either earlier and in   
   the war, or in 1956 in some actual peacekeeping role.   
      
   One quick search says it's the latter, ie he served in 1956 for   
   three years in post-war Korea, but saw what the war had done.
