Field Arty attached to the 24th

Comments:

Keywords: My uncle Eugene Manuel Carbajal passed over to "the other side" on July 31, 2007. I don't know much about his Korean War service other than that he transported over and back on the Brewster and Collins, and that he was attached to the 24th Division, serving in Field Arty (first AAA, then automatic weapons ... canon and quad .50s). This is a very long shot but did anyone serve with him ? He was born in Phoenix, AZ. thx, Robert

Lt Felton A Kemp (Black Officer)

Comments: My name is Michael Kemp. My father, Lt Col Felton A Kemp, served in Korea through the 1950s, served in Vietnam, and retired in 1972. He was one of a handful of African American officers serving during that time. He was a Lt serving in Korea right around 54, 55. I have many photos that he took during his time there. He passed away about 3 years ago. I am trying to learn more about his experiences in both Korea and Vietnam and would be willing to share his photographs with anyone interested. Feel free to call me at 704-650-3517.

For my Father

Comments: Does anyone in 26th AAA remember my Dad, Herbert C. Kirkland? I am putting together a scrapbook of his Korean war years. I am doing this for him as he is not into computers.

He first went into Korea, I think around July 6th of 1950, with the 26th AAA, not sure, but I think he was with the 26th at Taegon and the fight for the Pusan perimeter. Then he got transferred to the 6th tank battallion for the remainder of the war.
