Comments: I am trying to reconnect with an old Army buddy, William Sommers (could be Sommer, Summer or Summers). We met at Fort Bliss, El Paso, TX. He was a volunteer from New Jersey in 1949. B Battery, 68th AAA Gun Bn. We reconnected in Pusan in Feb 1951. We moved to Inchon to the Triangle Central Front Supporting I Corp. I was wounded and discharged from the Army. William's last known address was in New Jersey. He would now be about 80 years old. If anyone has any information about him please let me know. Contact me at kennyktakaki@sbcglobal.net

Comments: Looking for anyone who remembers Timothy Reese and the water truck accident that killed him. I need to confirm his death in order to get my pension for PTSD. The VA says there are no records of Tim dying in Korea. I know he died, I was there immediately after the water truck rolled obver rounding a curve. He was a close friend and I remember the scene very vividly all the time!

Memories of 1956 |

Ralph REID wrote on 2007-09-27 22:09:12.0
Comments: In 1956 I was with the Australian Signals unit located at Inchon, down the bottom of the hill from C Battery of the 68th.
Visited C Bty on several occasions, managed to get a decent meal (we lived out of cans, basically) and met a number of great guys.
Going thru some old photos today found one of three C Battery guys enjoying a beer with us at the Australian camp - their names are ROSEN (no first name known); Keith SCHUMACKER, George DYER.
Best wishes from down under to any of them still around, and to all other members of the 68th. You were a fine unit, and we were honoured to be alongside you.
Regards
Ralph REID
