I would like any information on members in the first squad, first
platoon, Fox Co., 7th Marines, on the night of July 6/7, 1953, when
outpost East Berlin was overran by Chinese.
Especially Private Richards, of Brooklyn, NY., the other BARman. I
was the other BARman, 18 years old and from Dallas, Texas. Richards
and I were captured. Last saw Richards in Seriwan, POW hospital,
camp 6, and have not been able to locate him since through the American
EX-POW's.
Any of the other's I would sincerely like to know why? And if any
survived trying to retake the hill. I still have much difficulty of
not knowing why Richards and I were left alone to defend it. It would be
a much appreciated healing process just to know why.
