Co G, 21st Inf Reg, 24th Inf Div - Sgt Robert W Williams

Comments: Looking for proof of service in Korea so I can get my father his Korean Defense Service Medal. His DD-214 only states overseas service; no country listed.

He boarded the USS C.G. Morton in Dec 1955 in Seattle, WA and landed in Incheon, South Korea in Feb 1956. He left South Korea 28 May 1957 on his birthday. He was on the DMZ and I know he worked in the motorpool.

Any ship manifest, group transfer/deployment order etc would be greatly appreciated. His personnel record was destroyed in St Louis in the 1973 fire at the records center.

Company B, 21st Infantry Regiment Personnel

Comments: My father served in the the U.S. Army from November 1952 - August 1954. During this period he was in the 45th Division, 279th Regiment, a National Guard Unit from Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Having more time left to serve my father was transferred to Company B, 21st Infantry Regiment, APO 24. During this period, Company B was in combat in Korea. My father was awarded the CIB (Combat Infantry Badge). All this being said, my father's DD-214 did not show that he was awarded this decoration. My father has asked me to find out any information that I can to try and get his record corrected. He and my mother tried through the Army's Board of Correction of Military Records, however, because of the fire in 1973, they believe that his records were part of those that were destroyed and that leaves it up to him to prove that he was there. We have a picture of him at a house in Korea with a Korean child, with the badge clearly shown on his uniform, however this did not persuade the board. My father's name is Billy Sanders Caudle. Any body that can help me with this request, it would be greatly appreciated.

Col. Richard W. Stephens

Comments: Hi,

I am looking for anyone who served with my grandfather, Col. Richard W. Stephens, AKA "Big Six". He was the commander of the 21st Infantry Regiment at the beginning of the Korean War. He never spoke about his wartime experiences and he died when I was eleven. I would really appreciate any info or stories that anyone might have. My mother (Marcia) and grandmother (Bettie) were also in Kumamoto for a time. Mom had a few stories about her life there and Grandma would tell me about how terrible the War was. They have both passed away as well, and now I find myself wanting to know more about my grandfather's military service.

Thank you,

Laurence DuBois

Looking for info on my father - Theodore

Comments: I am looking for any information on my father, Theodore "Ted" Sloan. According to some papers I found after he passed away, he was in the 21st Infantry, Company L. I found an fascinating account of a battle at Hill 296, which he called "Sleeping Bag Hill." Apparently, it was called that because at the onset of the battle, sleeping bags were left all over the hill and by the end they were ripped to shreds, and feathers were everywhere. Referenced in my father's papers were a "Col. Stephens, Joe Griffith, Freddie Pickens (KIA), Hugh Brown, Col. "Mac" McConnel."

I would be happy to provide the papers to any interested or related persons.

Corporal Leon Flake, Co K, 21st Reg,24th Div

Comments: I am doing research on Corporal Leon Flake who was wounded in both legs on Sept 2, 1950 during Company K's assault on Hill 99. I am interested in any recollections of the assault on Hill 99 and anyone who might have known Corporal Flake. He was especially interested in finding out the name of an African American officer who commanded medical personel at the field hospital where Co K wounded were taken. Many of the wounded spent the evening in a stream, thus avoiding death by the North Koreans who usually dispatched the wounded if they captured them. Corporal Flake was pulled out of the stream and rescued before being carried to the hospital. Did South Koreans assist in carrying off the wounded? I would love to communicate with any veterans or their relatives who were on Hill 99.
