Did anyone know Gilbert (Gil) Hendricks?

Comments: Did anyone know my father, Gil Hendricks? He was with Company C, 19th Regiment, 24th Infantry Division from January 1951 until (May?) 1952 in Korea and Camp Hagen, Japan. During this time he served as a Radio Operator, Commo Chief, Squad Leader, Supply Sergeant, and Platoon Sergeant. His combat records shows the following:

Korean War - Summer Offensive (Chip-O-Rhea battle) Korea, North June 51 - Aug 51

Korean War - Fall Offensive (Whon-Shon Push) Korea, North Aug 51 - Oct 51

Korean War - 2nd Winter Offensive (Stat-Mov, & Pat) Korea, North Oct 51 - Jan 52

He hailed from New Bedford, Massachusetts. His military records show that he had two aliases, Buddy and Henry, but it doesn't indicate when he used them.

I'm building a profile for him at http://army.togetherweserved.com/profile/259841 and would be interested in any memories you might have of him.

Thank you for your or your loved one's service.

Clarence Smith

Comments: Hi,

Does anyone remember serving with PFC Clarence Smith? He served from 10/30/52 - 8/21/54. He was a light weapons infantryman in the 24 regiment who fought in the Korean War.

He had foreign service in Japan and Korea and was awarded Korean Service Medal with one Bronze Service Star, Combat Infantrymans Badge, Presidential Unit Citation (Republic of Korea), United Nations Service Medal, and the National Defense Service Medal.

Clarence's nickname was Puddin' and he like to gamble a lot and he was from Harlem, NY by way of Danville, VA.

He was about 5'9 and dark skinned.

Please reach out to me if you knew him. I'd like to get some information for a book I'm writing on him.

Thanks, Wakeel wakeel7@yahoo.com

July 1950 Taejon Survivor

Comments: My father, Donald Goble, was stationed in Japan at the beginning of the Korean hostilities. He was sent to Korea in July of 1950 and fought at Taejon during the same month. He says that only 43 of his group of 166 survived. Despite his young age, he was promoted to Master Sergeant. It would mean a lot to him to hear from someone who was in Korea during that time. Please email me if you have any information.
