Jack Newport's buddies, Pia Ria

Comments: We lost our beloved brother, Charles John (Jack) Newport August 27, 1951 at Pia Ri, Korea at age 23. I would like to contact any who remember him. Especially the nice soldier who came to Jack's funeral from the south. Our family was so consumed with grief that none of us had the sense to reach out to him. It has plagued me for over 50 years. Who was that nice kid?

Jack endeared himself to everyone with his sense of humor and fun.

I have a great photo of him and a buddy while at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO. Sure would like to know who he is.

Jack's home town was Belvidere, IL

Donald C. Connett

Comments: Donald Cresley Connett Polk County, Iowa MIA Janauary 12, 1952 – Declared Dead No dogtags, no body.

I am looking for information regarding the events surrounding the wounding/casualties of the 38th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division on 1-12-1952. My family has been looking for information on my uncle, Donny Connett, for over 50 years. Our success has been negligible. the records fire did not help-some records indicate 1-12-51, and some indicate December 1951! If you have any tales of what happened on that day to produce so many casualties, I would greatly appreciate an email- I would also provide a “snail-mail” address for copies of any paperwork or photographs surrounding these events. Any information received will be posted online for all to see, unless requested NOT to be.

Also, Donny has or had a daughter that nobody can seem to locate. Nobody knows if his mother is still alive or not. Either of these two ladies should contact the US government- Donny’s remains may already have been recovered, but there is no way to know without a sample of his DNA (lock of hair, etc) OR DNA from his mother’s side of the family. Please contact me if you have any information regarding them, too.

10. Military Combat; Abt 7 Aug 1950; Naktong perimeter, Republic of Korea. The 38 Inf Regiment 2nd Infantry Division, set sail in August of 1950, From Tacom ,Washington . Arrived in Pusan, Korea , at night and were immediately deployed to the ,Naktong bulg of the Pusan perimeter.

In Mortal Combat "The Pusan Perimeter" page 165 By John Tolan, Elements of The North Koreans 2nd, 7th, and 10th Divisions , secretly cross the Naktong river , and split the The U.S. 2nd Division in two , attacking in between the 9th and 35th Inf Regiments of the 2nd ID.

12. Military Combat; 18 Sep 1950; Naktong perimeter, Republic of Korea. A Battalion of the 38th Inf Regiment, Cross the Naktong river, with tanks artillery and mortars , beginning of the break out of Pusan. From the forgotten war by Clay Blair Naktong Bulge Page 283-284 To the north of the 23d George Peploe's 38th Infantry, the bulk of which had not yet seen much heavy fighting and which was therefore still at nearly full strength, continued to have good luck.

On September 16 and 17 the 2/38, commanded by James Skeldon, also drove straight through to the Naktong . On the following day , September 18 , Keiser authorized Peploe to send Skeldon across the river and , if possible , establish a bridgehead. Skeldon crossed with ease in assault boats , achieving temporary fame of sorts by becoming the " first " unit of Eighth Army to cross the Naktong . On September 19 Peploe enlarged the bridgehead with the addition of Everett Stewart's 3/38.

The 1/38, commanded by William P. Keleher, thirty-nine, remained east of the river, keeping a wary eye to the west, where the puzzling do-nothing NKPA 10th Division was deployed.

The Chongchon , The River and the Gauntlet by S.L.A MARSHALL "To the right of the 38th the ROK II corps have been riven wide ,

its formation scattered ,its men driven south in panicflight . The 38th , already under full attack from the north , was now having to reform its right wing to parry the major blow expected from the east . Terrorized South Korean soldiers were drifting back through its lines . It was difficult to tell an attacking enemy from a fleeing friend . Within the 38th regiment on the first day of battle, the blows delt by the enemy fell heaviest upon Able, Fox, George, and Love Companies. This was pure happenstance determined by the geography of the battlefield. The Chinese colummns came forward in the darkness via the footpaths and streambeds, feeling for the American positions . In There groping they missed some units altogether . Others were struck a glancing blow . Still others were met head-on with full shock . The 38th had got to its phase line in the late evening of 23 November, Third Battalion on the right , First on the left , and Second in reserve. Northward from First Battalion's front , a narrow valley wound through the ridges, the trench of the Peangyong-chong, tributary of the Chongchon. It was next this stream that the worst hurts of the regiment were to be suffered in the hours immediatley ahead.

17. Military Combat; 25 Nov 1950; Republic Of Korea.

Chinese Communist troops in North Korea numbered 300,000. Late in November, across the snow that heralded a harsh North Korean winter, the Chinese struck. Attacking largely at night, the Chinese--though they suffered tremendous casualties--rapidly dislodged the Eighth Army and X Corps.

18. Military Combat; 26 Nov 1950; Republic Of Korea. Disaster and Retreat From the Forgotten War (Clay Blair ) Page 447 When the Chinese attacked Peploe's 38th Infantry, Jack Rodarm's Alpha Company , which had been sent ahead to scout, was still bivouacked well forward of the regiment . The CCF ,( Chinese Communist forces ) hit A, Company first , inflicting thirty-one casualties ( five dead ). Fortunately for Rodarm the CCF paused to loot Alpha Company's abandoned gear. Granted this respite , the survivors filtered back through the hills to Skeldon's 2/38 positions and later reassembled in the rear . But nearly half his company was missing. By this time Skeldon's 2/38 was under severe CCF attack. In the initial onslaught Skeldon's George Company was overwhelmed , losing 104 of 160 Men. However , his Fox Company, holding a strong position on a hill and reinforced by reserves from Echo Company , deflected the waves of Chinese and , after a harrowing night fight ,survived mostly intact. On the right of Skeldon , Harold Maixner's 3/38 , the easternmost of the American Battalions in Eighth Army , was also massively hit . The Main blow fell on Love Company , which was not only holding a position in the line but also providing security for the 3/38 CP (command post ). The CCF quickly overran L Company's position , forcing Maixner to withdraw his CP rearward . In the Initial onslaught , L Company was devastated , losing 110 of it's 200 Men . Maixner survived, but his battalion staff also sustained heavy casualties. Oddly, Maixner's other two rifle companies, I and K , holding down the extreme right flank of the 2d Division, were untouched. However landline communications to I and K companies were lost during the night , neither Maixner nor Peploe could learn anything about there status. By daylight Peploe was deeply concerned . During the night four of his nine rifle companies ( A,G,F, And L) had been hard hit, and another ( B ),attempting to reinforce the line, sideswiped. Having received no word from I and K Companies, he concluded that they probably been lost.

19. Military Combat; 30 Nov 1950; Republic Of Korea. Running The Gauntlets: Bloody retreat,

From John Tolands , " In Mortal Combat " November30 was another bad day for the Eighth Army .

At dawn Keiser's 2nd Division was still held up by the roadblock south of Kunu-ri, and his combat elements had been reduced to 600 exhausted , frozen men. Keiser outlined to his commanders the final withdrawal to Pyongyang . By early afternoon the Chinese held six miles of the road with some forty machine guns, ten mortars and numerous infantrymen . Those who survived the six mile gauntlet had to go through a defile that had become a graveyard, That was clogged with trucks and tanks.

20. Military Combat; 30 Nov 1950; Republic Of Korea.

The Guantlet from Kunu to Sunchon The Forgotten War Pages 482-497 Peploe's 38th Infantry had mounted up. The march order was : Skeldon's 2/38 (220 Men) would ride on about a dozen Sherman tanks in the Vanguard, prepaired to dismount and deal with roadblocks that might be encounterd ; Maixner's 3/38 (63 Men ) would come next in line, crowded into about a dozen jeeps; Keleher's 1/38 (275 Men) would bring up the rear. Because of the shortage of vehicles , most of the 1/38 would ride on vehicles of the Division Artillery Headquarters, which was in the column immediately behind the 38th Infantry . Maixner's men would provide infantry protection for the Artillery Last in the long battered column came division artillery, with Keleher's scatterd 1/38 deployed on its forwardmost trucks and tractors. The 1/38 th lost a quarter of its strength, sixty-eight men. The surviving elements of the 2d Division contiued south to Pyongyang, thence to Munsan ,below the Imjin river . The head count on December 1 was shocking , the 2d Division had incurred 33 percent casualties (4,940 ) the vast majority in the last few days of November. George Peploe's 38th 1,075 .

21. Military Combat; 5 Feb 1951; Republic Of Korea. Wonju Roudup / Counter attacks . The Forgotten War ( Clay Blair) Page 687 The 38th Infantry was to play an important role in these forthcoming operations.

It had a new commander . Colonel John Coughlin former XO . Ned Almond And the X corps staff fragmented the 38th Infantry . Bill Keleher's 1/38 had been orderd well forward to support the ROK 8th Division . Almond orderd Coughlin to send two of his three remaining battalions far forward . The dutch Battalion to Hoensong and Harold Maixner's 3/38 farther forword yet to a road crossing for miles north of Hoengsong. These deployments scattered the battalions of the 38th Infantry,north to south along the Hongchon-Wonju road. The sudden and total destruction of the ROK 8th Division seriously imperiled the forces from Nick Ruffner's 2d Division that were directly supporting it under X corps control . Principally John Kieth's 15th FAB , Bill Keleher's 1/38 , and two small armor-infantry teams from the 38th and 9th Infantry . it also endangerd the other Battalions of 38th , Harold Maixner's 3/38 , dug in four miles north of Hoengsong , and the Dutch Battalion in Hoengsong. When the 8th ROK Division ceased to exist , The CCF swarmed through the dark behind the American support forces and threw up roadblocks, on the Hoengsong-Hongchon highway , thereby " trapping " Keith's 15 FAB, and Keleher's 1/38 well north of Maixner's 3/38 .

22. Military Combat; 12 Feb 1951; Republic Of Korea. Wonju / Gauntlet . The Forgotten war ( Clay Blair ) pages 685-690 It was another ghastly ordeal . Keleher's 1/38 infantry led the way south, desperately trying to blast a path for the twenty-three towed howitzers and the scores of supply trucks and other vehicles . In this effort Keleher's B and C companies and the truck drivers were cut to ribbons. Shortly after dawn on February 12 the battered column reached Maixner's 3/38 perimeter above Hoengsong . But as it turned out, there was little comfort to be found there . Swarms of CCF were attacking th 3/38 and had blocked the road sooth to Hoengsong . Keith , Keleher, and Maixner circled the wagons in Maixner's perimeter .Keith's artillery firing point-blank into the ranks of the attacking CCF. Nick Ruffner refused Coughlin permission to send his reserve 2/38 forward from Wonju to help . Having already sustained 289 casualties, Keleher's 1/38 again led the way south . However ,about a half mile below the 3/38 perimeter , Keleher encountered a wall of CCF which immobilized the 1/38 for four full hours . With darkness approaching , X corps ordered Maixner's 3/38 to withdraw from its perimeter and join the 1/38 and fight south . Meanwhile X Corps sent forward from Hoengsong an armor-infantry team, built around G Company of the 187th Airborne RCT . It broke through the CCF and reached the combined 1/38 and 3/38 at 7:00 P.M. When all the 2d Division support forces finally reached Wonju, the casualties to them and the Dutch Battalion were reckoned to be a disastrous 1,769. Keleher's 1/38 , Maixner's 3/38 and Keith's 15th FAB had incurred the majority of the casualties. Both Infantry Battalions, the 2d Division historian wrote, were " Shattered" But Keleher and Maixner both survived this second gauntlet . Revised Casualty list ( 9 March 1951 ) for this action . 1,537 ; 99 killed ; 490 wounded ; 948 missing.

23. Military Combat; 14 Feb 1951; Republic Of Korea. Wonju Shoot Forgotten war ( Clay Blair ) pages 693-696 John Coughlin's 38th infantry , Frank Bowen's 187th RCT and Baker's 2/17 , Plus all the artillery that could be brought to bear, would make the strongest possible stand at Wonju to blunt the CCF. By the morning of February 13 all surviving X Corps forces north of Wonju had withdrawn into defensive positions near the town . Ned Almond placed all forces at Wonju, including the artillery, under the command of the 2d Division ADC, George Stewart . The CCF mounted the onward attack on the Wonju garrison during the early hours of February 14 . Two full CCF divisions (197th and 198th ) of the Sixty-sixth Army spearheaded the assault, attacking due south from Hoengsong along the Som River, reinforced by elements of the CCF 119th and 120th divisions of the Fortieth Army, attacking from the northwest . The 38th and 187th Airborne regiments, holding good defensive positions in high ground north of Wonju , met the attack head-on . By dawn all the American and Dutch infantry was furiously engaged in close bitter fighting. Every available artillery piece in the 2nd Division and supporting corps artillery was laid upon the marching mass of men . Thunderous barrages roared across the hills as tons of shrapnel poured into the plodding troops . Still they came marching into the rain of death, heedless of the carnage around them. The " Wonju shoot " of February 14 proved to be a decisive victory . Some 5,000 CCF troops lay dead on the battlefield ; probably three times that number had been wounded . The four CCF assault Divisions had been shattered. Stewart , Coughlin, and the men they commanded never received the great credit they deserved.

24. Military Combat; 17 May 1951; Republic Of Korea. No Name Line The Forgotten War (Clay Blair ) pages 876-879 Masses of CCF troops of the Fifteenth and Sixtieth armies ( six divisions of about 60,000 men ) simultaneously struck of Nick Ruffner's 2d Division. Those units which were hardest hit initially were Lloyd Jenson's 2/23, serving as the core Infantry of Task Force Zebra in the division's right sector ; George Kimbrell's 1/38 on the No name line; and Wallace Wilkins's 2/38 manning an OPLR in the division's center. To the left of the 23d John Coughlin's 38th also came under very heavy siege . Kimbrell's 1/38 and wilkins's 2/38, the latter exposed in the OPLR, caught the brunt of the attack . The rifle companies of the 1/38 were immediately split and isolated on Hill 1051. In the 2/38, E Company was overun and shattered. Believing the situation in the 2/38, to be "critical" Coughlin prudently requested authority to pull the battalion off the OPLR and back to No Name Lline. The 2/38 withdrew to the hills on No Name Line to " cosolidate "with the 1/38 and the Dutch Battalion, coming from reserve . In the 38th's left and southernmost sector, Wallace Hanes's 3/38 , bunkered in its fortress atop Hill 800, escaped attack on the night of May 16-17 . The Men waited tensely in their positions, with a grandstand view of the blazing night action to the north. At dawn Hanes directed the men to improve their positions. With the withdrawal of the 2/38 from its OPLR , the 3/38 was now in the direct path of the oncoming CCF. By daylight on May 17 Kimbrell's 1/38 was in desperate trouble : chewed up; surrounded ; cut off. To help rescue its isolated units, John Coughlin directed the Dutch Battalion, commanded by W.D.H. Eeckhout, to mount a counterattack on Hill 1051. The Dutch were slow to organize and respond to this dangerous mission. To the left of the 23d the 9th Infantry assisted the 38th Infantry in its withdrawal, which took place under cover of darkness that night . Following a ten-minute barrarge by seven FABs, the brave but exhausted survivors of the 1/38 and 2/38 and the Dutch Battalion withdrew through the 2/9 . Total casualties in the 38th were shocking ; well above 1,000 killed , wounded, and missing. This withdrawl did not , however, include Wallace Hanes's 3/38 , entrenched in its fortress atop , Hill 800. Spared attack so far , it would remain in its positions one more night in order to give the Marines time to "bend ' No Name Line behind it . The withdrawal of the 1/38 and 2/38 opened a clear route to the 3/38, and during that night the CCF took advantage of it, launching a powerful attack on Hanes, which penetrated I and K companies. The 3/38 rallied and counterattacked , even calling friendly artillery down on its own besieged bunkers . The artillery slaughtered the CCF, and by dawn Hanes and his proud and defiant men were again undisputed kings of the moutain . 25. Military Award; Jun 1951; Republic Of Korea.
