I served on the Manchester for four years and was in on the Inchon
invasion.  We served most of the three years in Korea doing various
duties.  Task force 77 sailing with the carriers rotating to the bomb
lines firing upon railroads etc.  We were in on the evacuation when
the 1st marines had to be helped at the reservoir.

I have three books made up with pictures and various writings during
our tours in Korea.  Thought that I would introduce this being I did
not see our ships name in your list of Cruisers.
