Keywords: My dad was in the Korean war and he was a paratrooper. He has passed away and never really told us anything about his time in the war. I am older now and would like to know if there is anyone that can tell me anything about what he went through. His name was James William Blackburn, and I think some people called him "Blackie". I was born in 1951 and he was in Korea at that time. If you knew my dad please let me know. Thanks and God Bless.

Comments: My dad, Ken Gander, was in the 187th RCT, C Company, in Korea, September, 1950 to July 1951, a 57 Recoiless gunner and paratrooper. He would get a kick out of hearing from an old buddy. His squad leader was a Ralph Saenz, he thinks from Phoenix. I myself am proud to be the son of a Korean War vet, and thank all the men who fought The Forgotten War.

Comments: I am looking for any information regarding the 187th RCT's role in the Kumsong battle in July 1953. Particularly in regards to Co. H, 2nd Bn. My sister's father was KIA on 15 July. His name was SFC Harry H. Knotts. I am interested in knowing that company's location (Hill designation) and circumstances surrounding his death (if any one knows). I know that the unit was attached to the 2nd ID and was defending the left flank of the line against the Chinese offensive. Any additional information is welcome. Thank you.

Bragg N.C. If anyone has any memories they would like to share concerning him and the 187th please e-mail me at imcl@sbcglobal.net.

Seeking Info on JW Tyler

David Carpenter wrote on 2004-09-26 20:19:57.0

Comments: I'm seeking information on my grandfather JW Tyler. He was a member of the Rakkasans (I have the book by Mr Alexander on my desk) but spoke little of his time in Korea. I understand why, but I would like to know more about his service. I am the first of his grandchildren to follow in his steps and join the military, and he was the reason why. I'm working on building a shadow box for his daughters (my mom and aunts). Any information about him would be greatly appreciated. also, does anyone know where I can get period patches to include in the shadow boxes?

Thanks in advance for your help.
