Pvt. Arthur L. Rathfon (Bud)

Comments: My father Arthur L. Rathfon (Bud), from Harrisburg, PA, was a private in the 160th Inft. Reg., 40th Div. He was in Korea Jan 1952-about Sep 1953. He trained in the heavy mortar co. (4.2")where he was an asst. gunner. He remembers Ito who was killed, mentioned a Pollard, Seibert- who did cabinetry work, Capt. Hart (or Heart),and had a good Korean friend named Lee Kyung Woo. He was stationed in Chunchon and Koji Island. He trained at Ft. Dix. NJ.

I have many pictures of my father's Korean War service. If you remember Arthur or would like to leave any other comment, please leave a message here. I also have a full oral account of his experience on tape and also written up.

Arthur passed away in Jan. 2005 from mesothelioma-- lung cancer caused by asbestos contamination. He was 74.

1953 M38A1 Jeep

Comments: Hello all,

First I would like to thank our veterans for their service to this great nation. We would not be where we are today, nor enjoy the privileges we currently do if not for your sacrifices.

I am writing to try to find information on a jeep and its driver(s). The jeep is currently in restoration, and is clearly marked 40-I-160I B-35. These are the original markings. If my research is correct, I believe I am commenting in the right place. This jeep was delivered 8/53, so it is a post-war jeep, but not by much. This is likely the reason it remained in the US.

As a collector and restorer of military vehicles, I am very adamant they be restored correctly and cared for properly. These machines are a major source of our military's history, and those vehicles well maintained will last generations. I feel it is extremely important, then, to accurately represent them as they were used.

In short, I seek pictures of this particular jeep if there are any. Better yet, I would like to hear from any of its drivers or passengers if they are still with us.

This jeep is a model MD, designated M38A1, and was delivered in August of 1953. It belonged to the 40th Infantry Division, 160th Infantry Regiment, Bravo Company, and was vehicle 35. From what I can tell, at various points in its service, it was equiped with a M31C machinegun pedestal mount, and a dash-mounted verticle rifle mount just left of the data plates. It was repainted 24087 OD green likely in 1957 and received a new engine at some point in the mid 1960's.

If anyone has any information or pictures pertaining to this particular jeep, I would greatly appreciate an email. If anyone is interested and would like to see pictures of it in its current state, I will gladly provide them for their records. I can be emailed at hkmp5a2@kyk.net

Thank you again, Dan

40th Division, 160th Regiment, Charlie Company

Comments: My father, Charles King (still living), was sent to Korea in January 1952 and served 23 months. He fought on Heartbreak Ridge, November 3, 1952. He was in what was called the Sunshine Division (National Guard out of California). He was a rifleman (later on in mortar) in the 40th Division, 160th Regiment, Charlie Company, 4th platoon. His commanding officer was Captain Hardy. Sargent Archibald McClain was his platoon leader in the 4th mortar section. He also remembers a Captain Clark from Baker Company who was with him on Heartbreak Ridge and Sargent Berry. After Heartbreak Ridge his company was sent to Koje-Do Island to guard prisoners but he was sent to headquarters and became General Maxwell Taylor's personal honor guard. I'm interested in hearing from anyone who served the same time as he did and passing the information on to him.

KOREAN WAR VET -40TH DIV. MILITARY POLICE CO.

Comments: As a Combat MP we weren't actually part of specific battles, except as the guys who went up to the front lines to pickup any prisoners and take them back behind-the-lines to places where they were held temporarily, before being shipped further back, behind-the-lines to the actual prison camps. While we were moving units, mostly at night, if the enemy got wind of it we'd get some mortar pot-shots taken at us. But because the object of what we were doing was to be very careful and quiet so the enemy wouldn't know what was going on, that didn't happen very often. Towards the end of my tour in Korea the "truce" was being negotiated and things quieted down a lot. Once, on patrol, a sniper took a couple of shots at us, but he only hit the jeep. We took cover, fired a few shots ourselves and then got away. I don't have a lot of "war stories" to tell, I just did my job.

Keywords: I was inducted into the Army on 22 Oct 1952 and released from active duty on 20 Aug 1954. My job in Korea was as a 40th Div. Combat MP, MOS-1677. We were the guys that moved units from place to place, mostly at night, so the enemy wouldn't know what was where. My partner was a guy with bright red hair who's last name was Leader. As you can guess, he was known to everybody as Red Leader. I've tried to think of some of the other names of people I met, but while I can remember some of the faces, at age 76, the names elude me. If anyone who served with me is still alive, it would be fun to e-mail talk to you.

Currently the only information I have found on picture captions is Bloody Ridge, Heartbreak Ridge, Ko Je Do, and Son Jung Man. I am an active duty Air Force member and will leaving for a tour in South Korea in April. I am hoping to find additional information (hill numbers, geocoordinates, etc.) and stand on the same piece of earth as my father. Anyone with information on this unit or have leads I might follow it will be greatly appreciated. John Puhl, died 14 August 2003 of cancer. He was a combat infantryman and served in three campaigns (according to his ribbons). He was awarded two purple hearts (he didn’t accept them until the 1980s). He fought in three campaigns and does not have any decorations from the Army. I find this odd. Maybe, the generosity of the Army has increased in this area since the 50’s.

Master Sgt. Charles Burton

Comments: I am searching for any Korean Veteran that served on Heartbreak Ridge during the month of Oct 1952. Master Sgt. Charles Burton was killed in action on Hearbreak Ridge on Oct 28, 1952. He was serving with the 160th Infantry, 40th Division, but do not know what Company he was in at the time of his death.

Sgt Burton's Silver Star was presented posthumously to his little, six year old daughter, Bonnie Burton, 2 July 1953 at the Statue of Liberty on Bedloes Island, by Lt. Gen Withers Burress, Commander of the 1st Army.

Sgt Burton was born and raised in the Bronx, NYC and served in both the Pacific and European Theaters during World War II. Was an Army ranger and fought with both the 513th & 517th Parachute Infantry Regiments. He reinlisted in 1950 for the Korean War, but was killed on Hearbreak Ridge on Oct 28, 1952. He was thirty-five years old.

He daughter, Bonnie, who was presented his Silver Star and several other medals on 2 July 1953 at the Statue of Liberty, is living here in Hot Springs, Arkansas and is a good friend of my wife and I. Bonnie would like very much to make contact with anybody that knew her father, Sgt. Charles Burton, when he was killed in action on Heartbreak Ridge in Korea. She always wears his Silver Star around her neck on Veterans Day and Memorial Day every year, and misses the Dad she never knew after she was six years old.

If you knew Sgt. Burton, and call or contact me, I will put you in touch with Bonnie, who would dearly love to talk to you!

Poem Night Before Christmas by a Lt. (name unknown) 1950-1952

Comments: I remember a poem written by a Lt., can not remember name. The poem was The Night Before Christmas in Korea. The year was 1950 to 1952. I was in grade school then and read it in the Detroit Times newspaper. It goes something like this: "Was the night before Christmas and all throught the tent, the odor of fuel oil, the stove pipe was bent. All the men were asleep in their bunks.......Then all a sudden, a Chinese machine gun started to chatter......." I can not remember all of it because I lost the article many years ago. I continues on with more that I do not know. I was wondering if anyone out there also remembers this poem. It goes on like the orginal poem of the night before Christmas but with words that fit the Korean War. I think it was an Army Lt. who wrote this poem. It has stuck with me for 50 years and I wish I had remember all of it. Thank you for listening to me on this subject. It was and still is a very moving poem of the Korean War and any war. Vietnam was my war. I was just two years short for the Korean War.

Comments: Looking for anyone who knew my father, John D. Dono. He passed away 4/4/62 at the age of 33, in Pittsburgh, PA. His tombstone says: PFC CO. H 160th INF. Enlisted Jan 23, 1951. Discharged Nov 10, 1952. I have pictures of him in Korea, some of them with the guys he served with, but there are no names written on the back. My mother says Dad was the "radio man". Unfortunately, I do not have the names of anyone he served with. My mother is elderly now and just cannot recall.

New e-mail address

Comments: Moved to Oak View Ca. from Oak Harbor WA. This year. Transferred to the Ojai VFW. Met Commander Dave Pressey (F-Co 160inf 40th Div) Who I last saw in a forward outpost overlooking Kumsong, Korea. April or May 1952. My heavy machine-gun section was supporting F-Co with 2-30's & 1-50. Dave introduced me to the VFW members as the guy who made the hair stand up on the back of his neck whenever I opened up with the 50. Thought we were going to be overrun several times but we beat them back. Can't say enough about how tough the Fox Co guys were. A lot of WW2 X-Marine Sgts in F-Co. A guy in Pressey's squad tried to bug out but he crawled back in his hole when Pressey said " you run & I'll shoot". Thats how it was when we were 19 & 20 years old. Ed Marshall

Information WIA 12/52

Comments: When I was wounded in Korea I lost all my personal belongings i.e. family pictures, letters, etc. My personal belongings, including money were never returned to me. I spent several months recovering in Army hospitals in Battle Creek, Michigan and Walter Reed, in Washington, D.C. When I was separated from service, I asked about my lost personal belongings and never received a reply.

In addition, I never received my medals, ribbons, etc. except for my Purple Heart and CIB.

I would be interested in receiving any information possible about my unit and the circumstance surrounding my wounding. I would also like to learn how I can replace any medals, ribbons, etc. to which I am entitled.

I know its been a long time since I served in Korea, but I would like to gather as much information as I can, to pass on to my children and grand-children.

Sincerely,

Comments: Looking for anyone who was in E.Company, 160th Regiment, 40th Division from August 1953 to May 1954. This was a great Division but was transferred back to California. I was reasigned to the 25th Division and later went to Hawaii for about 2 months before being discharged in December 1954. We were across the 38th close to the town of Choran. I would like to hear from anyone that may have been there at the same time. Thanks, Ray

HOMEWARD BOUND

Comments: The following was published aboard the USNS Gen. N.M. Walker, departing Pusan harbor 20 Jun 53, arriving Camp Stoneman, Ca 1 Jul 53. This poem was written in a spirit of closure on a difficult yet significant part of our lives. It is my hope that anyone who reads this will recall the feelings shared on this return trip.

Three thousand soldiers on the deck, With just one thought in mind, We'll soon be home with those we love, sharing a joy sublime. The ocean stretched out before us, The future we did not know, Would we make this trip in a peaceful calm, Or would the storm winds blow? At last we'd crossed the open sea, We could see our country's shore, And we wondered why anyone ever had asked, "What are we fighting for?". Had the Golden Gate been built of gold, and a pearl on every wave, We couldn't have been more proud to return, to the home of the free and the brave. Three thousand soldiers on the deck, With a prayerful thought in mind, "God bless the boys who gave their all, The ones we left behind". Cpl. Bob Ericson

Comments: The following is excerpted from The Fire Ball, Div. newspaper dated 2-12-53: SFC John J. Mastros,223rd Inf. Regt. Co. L platoon sergeant opened a package from home and found a pair of flaming red pajamas.While modeling them in the doorway of his bunker, a sniper across "No Man's Land" began to take pot shots at him. Refusing to abandon the night-wear, he yelled,"With these PJ's I feel like I'm back in Pittsburgh." Looks like the GI's from Pittsburgh are pretty tough!!! AMEN..
