Comments: I am trying to find any information about my grandfather. My grandmother is South Korean and my grandfather was Italian American. All I know for sure is that he was serving near Seoul in 1956-1957. His name was Jack Watts and may have been a Major in the Marines. My mother was born Sept. 5, 1957. She has some memories of her father, but he came back to the U.S - possibly to Michigan in 1959-1961. My mother and grandmother moved while he was gone and she never saw him again. I believe my grandmother worked for him as a secretary. I would love to hear from anyone who may have any information that would be helpful.

Would like to know if the uniform in Japan was an OD or an OG and maybe how I can get info for self. Anything would help at this point. Thanks much.

I have filled out several forms and they are unable to locate my records because of the fire in St. Louis US Army Records. This has been going on for over a year and I am not getting any younger. I would like to know if you have any suggestions as to how to get the awards and honors earned. Thank you George A Nelson

Comments: I was staioned at Advance Canp from Dec. '55 to Apr. '57 (16 months). I was assigned to Security For six months and then to Escort for the remainder of my tour. With Security we were responsible for patroling the road from the camp to the Conference Area and Bridge of No return. With Escort, we were responsible for the protection of all the conference negotiators and top dignitaries. Escort consisted of a lead jeep, the sedan carrying the dignitary, and a tail jeep. We were heavily armed in the event of an incident. It was good duty and got us off the "Rockpile" of Advance Camp. I was fortunate to serve with a great bunch of guys. We were very close knit. I hope that anyone that served with me will contact me. I had a mini-reunion with three in '04, but would like to hear from others. Thank you.

Comments: I spent 1954 on three AN/TRC-4 radio relay sites in Korea. The only two I remember are Rickey and Highpoint. I have lost my memory of the great guys that I served with during that wonderful tour in Korea. Traveling these mountains was something that few people in the service have ever done and I loved every minute of it. I returned to Korea in 1961 as a civilian and worked in KMAG for 6 years as a communications advisor. Some of my work took me back to one of the sites that I cannot remember the name of.

I was a still photographer from the 67th Reconnaissance Wing, Photo Lab, and was going along to cover the unit during the search. I have some negatives to give to a person who was assigned to the 60th A.R.S.

The aircraft that I flew on was a SC-47 SN-049565. Some of the crew were: LT. William Klesert, Pilot. Lt. William Edwards, Co-Pilot. Lt. Charles Payne. Enlisted crew personnel were: SSgt John Nielson and A1c Jenning Hibbard.

Each morning we checked into the Panmunjom Headquarters on the DMZ to get pass to go into Communist side to do our searching for remains using our map overlay of battlefield site burials. We of course had to give up our side arms, wear a yellow arm band to signify we had permission to be on Commmunist territory side doing our work. We were guarded by Communist Soldiers with fixed bayonets. They would ask us for "tobako" (cigarettes). We were restricted to answer, and communicate with them.

I am told he policed the Berlin Wall and other interesting things......... do you have any information? He passed away suddenly and very unexpected 12/30/05. He had never married but we (6 nephews and 1 niece and their families) would really enjoy any and all information about him! Thank you!

Comments: Hoping to contact anyone who might have been in this area from 1954 to 1956. My camp was about 10 miles south of the 38th. parallel and was the home base for all the visiting dignitaries, politicians, and high ranking military people. My job was to help maintain this camp so it was comfortable for these V.I.P.s Is there anyone out there that remembers this place? I`m sure there is a much fancier version of the camp there today.

We were attached to POW Command and when the POWs from our camp were "liberated", we were sent forward to DMZ at Munsan. Still remember "Operation Little Switch" and "Operation Big Switch", trading their POWs for ours.

Comments: I served in Korea from January 57 to May 58, with the 8th Army Long Lines Signal Battalion, Company "D" located just noth of Seoul on the main MSR to the 38th.

I was the powerman for the base camp and the following sites, Hill # 3, Young Dong Po, Beason VHF, K-13 and Osan K-55. We had VHF sites at these locations. Hill 3, was on the mountain in SEOUL. K-13 was in Wonju and K-55 was located inside the air base in Osan. I would like to locate anyone that may have been there at the time that I was there, our CO at base camp was Capt. Jewett, we also had a 1st Lt. Johnston, the First Sgt. was Sgt McGraw. some of the buddies thatI remenber were: BRADLEY, Anderson, Edwards,Tripplet (from Lemont Furnace pa) Paul Iden,( from Aiken Ga)Pvt. Wilson, Masterson , Willie Newman,to name a few.

I left Korea on an emergency leave and never returned ,and never got to say good bye to all those guys.

I have heard from a couple of guys that were at Beason VHF and one that was at our base camp after I was there, but I would like to hear from anyone that was at these sites before or after I was there so we could chat about old times. we had a small VHF station at K-55 up on a hill looking down on the Base's mess hall that we enjoyed night and day. If there is anyone out there that was connected with company "D" long lines battalion please email me : AFDFYRBSTR@AOL.COM I would love to hear from you.

Comments: We arrived in Korea in April, 1954, and within 4 weeks were back at sea aboard the USS Bayfield for a Marlex Exercise. Embarking at Inchon, we proceed south in the Yellow Sea for several days, and then stopped and held. The rumor was that we were going to French Indo-China, where the siege of Dienbienphu was underway. However, we proceeded up the Sea of Japan and maded training landings on the beach at Koto-Ri near Yang Yang. Back in Korea, my section was usually attached to Item Company in the field. My Weapons Company Commander was Capt. Mays, who was also the Battalion Supporting Arms Controller. Item Company Commander was Capt. Parks. Our base camp was near the Imjin River near Libby Bridge. On July 27, 1954, the anniversary of the Truce, we were alerted to the possibility of a Chinese "jump off". Never happened. Oh and yes, the foe facing us across the DMZ were the Chinese, not the North Koreans. Finally a year later, in May, 1955, the entire 1st Mar Div deployed back to the States, to be stationed at Camp Pendleton, where I remained until returning to civilian life in September, 1956. My year in Korea was tense, and exciting. We saw no combat, but we were on the front line, in what was in those days, the most dangerous place in the world.

Keywords: I arrived in Korea with the 42nd Replacement Draft with Willie Bowling, (Willy One), Willie Daligon, (Willie Two), and Bob Beck, I was called "Manhattan". The four of us became ammo "humpers" in the 3rd Section, HMG. Sgt. Absdnider of Texas was Platoon Sgt. Other platoon members were, Curtis, Fontaine, "Doc" Cantrell, Foley, Firth. Later on came Gillespie and Gnapp and a new Platoon Sergeant Bearschwirld. First Seargeant was "Top", Tommy Thompson. Our section contained two squads organized around the .30 caliber M1917A1 Browning Heavy Machine Gun, (water cooled). Squad leaders and ammo "humpers" carried .30 cal. M-1 Rifles. Gunners and Asst Gunners carried .45 cal Colt automatic pistols. Other platoons in Weapons Company were armed with .81mm mortars, and 3.5 rocket launchers, and M-1 flamethrowers.

They look like pictures of a few celebrations like Christmas, "welcome home tank co." party, a boat on the ocean # 1486, a group of men from a catering welcoming # 278th RCT, a few pictures of tankers comming from the ships to land, another on with ship # 980 on the side showing tanks on land, a man dressin in a Santa suit standing in front of a group a kids in a tank # 52, 3 men in the trees and brush standing in front of a tank with the numbers 74 RCT TK-5?, one of the soliders has his foot in front of the number.Another picture of a soldier woring on a "Master Menu" for August 1954. Very handsom man. Well dressed in his uniform with 3^^^ stripes on his right arm. Please, If there is anone out there who knows what these are, contact me. You might have known my grand mother or a few others who I know of that was in service. Her name was Yvonne Marie Loiselle. She chummed around with a Rita Reynolds. They were bothe from Lowell, Massachusetts. I am her grand daughter and since cleaning up a few boxes I found these pictures, I would hate to distroy them if they mean something to someone else.Please contact me via my email or by "snail" \mail.

Comments: A message was posted by jaluck@optonline.net about a year ago on my web site asking for information regarding a photo.

I have the wanted information but the supplied email adress is not good, just in case someone who knows the person who was asking for information here is what I have tried to send in reply

Lee Helle here, I have my 1965 Camp Beard year book and when the book was made the Bn Chaplains last name was White and his assistants name was SP4 Ratliff and yes your man is Ratliff. Looking at the picture I would guess he was 3-5 years younger than I was at the time which means he will be 60-66 years of age today. Somewhere buried in the army archives will be copies of morning reports which would at least have his full name. I recognized Ratliff in the picture not by name but by his ears.
