Nicholas J. Sheppard, Ret. Col, USMC-R

Comments: My Dad, Nicholas J. Sheppard served with C-1-1-1; I believe he was in in a leadership position. We know that he walked out onto a minefield to rescue one of his officers. We spent a few summers with him at Camp LeJeune during his active duties. Anyway, as we're trying to get his memoirs down on paper, any stories anyone can contribute would be greatly appreciated! At 82, he's still in excellent health [golf and tennis any day he can get an opponent or a foursome that is YOUNG enough for him to compete with]. Many thanks.

Herbert McCauley

Comments: I know absolutely nothing about the unit, hill number, etc., that my grandfather, Herbert Marion McCauley served under, but I do know that he was a Marine from Maryland, and fought in the Korean War.

My grandfather died when my mother was 2 days old. Since she's never known her father, any memories others share with her are very precious. I'm just trying to find anyone who might have known my grandfather, and can tell her about him, or what he did in Korea. The 50th anniversary of his death is coming (Dec. 27) and I know he's on her mind quite a bit as a result.

Cpl Stanley Nowak Jr,

Comments: My father Cpl Stanley Nowak Jr was transferred to Korea in a replacement draft on 7 Jan 1951. He joined 1st Bn, 1st Marines, 1st Marine Division on 14 Jan 1951. He was WIA on 25 April 1951. He was WIA again on 10 June 1951 and died of his wounds the following day on 11 June 1951 at "E"Co.,1stMedBn,Field Hospital.

Dad was fatally wounded on 10 June 1951 while 1stMarDiv was advancing northeast from Hwachon Reservoir to the Punchbowl. They were clawing out daily gains of 1,000 - 2,000 meters, ultimately reaching their objective despite heavy NKPA fire.

Captain Calvin R. Baker Jr., Commanding Company "A", 1st Bn, 1st Marines, 1st Marine Division wrote; While in the area of Yanggu, Korea on 10 June 1951 our company was assulting an enemy held hill. Enemy action made it necessary for the emplacement of Stanley's machine gun squad to give covering fire. Stanley was directing the fire of his machine gun when he was wounded. He received immediate medical attention and within a few minutes was evacuated from the hill. While being evacuated he dropped into a state of unconsciousness from which he never recovered. He passed away on 11 June 1951.

I would like to hear from anyone who was serving with my dad when he was killed. Please contact me at David.Nowak2@us.army.mil

History of B-1-1-1

Comments: Like most of you here, I am looking for the history of B-1-1-1. Has anyone come across a good history (book) of this unit during the time period of Nov 52 - Sept 53? My father, Sgt. Charles (Chuck) Cervantes was an infantry Squad Leader and Platoon Sgt during this period in Korea. I have a number of photos from Korea, but unfortuneately my father did not put names, dates, or places on them before he died in 2004.

On an unrelated note, the Navy is extremely helpfull in providing information to family concerning their deceased miltary members, see the link below.

Ray35 Tried to email you email returned

Comments: Hello Ray thank you so much for cobtacting me, This is so Hard for me my Dad died on May 4th of this year of a Heart attack in my parents Drive way, This was unexpected since he had never had any Heart problems. I have always been a Daddy's Girl I am 43 years old now and I grieve every day for him I didn't even get to say goodbye to him my other 4 sisters did I lived farther away from the hospital and wasn't at home that day I was down the road helping someone I live in a rural area in Scottown, Ohio. I missed my dad by 5 mins. I have so many regrets right now one is that me and dad talked allot about sitting down and talking about his experiences in Korea. That didn't get to happen. My dad was 75 and worked up to the day he died at Sam's club he loved it. This is the hard part that might have added to his heart Attack. a Month before he passed away he found out that my Mom was Terminally ill and was dying from Renal Cell Carcinoma of the Kidney's. My parents were married 53 Years and raised 5 daughters. Getting back to the service. I ordered all of my Fathers enlistment papers from the Service and got them a week ago. What year was your dad in Korea and can you remember other's that was in your squadron. I have names of a few who served with Dad. Do you have a way to scan the pictures and email them to me you don't know how much I would appreciate it. Right now I could call you and give you more information on Dad and his times and dates in the service but I can't promise I won't cry. I feel like my daddy died yesterday. I break down crying sometimes when he is mentioned. I am crying now just hoping that you do know my dad and the pictures are of him. If it turns out he is the fuller then I have some pictures to share with you because I have pictures of him and his friends in the service that you may not have. If you would like to talk to me my Full name is Karen Leslie Fuller Dillon. I go by Leslie my email is kleslied@yahoo.com. I tried to email you back but the email came back as a failure. So I would appreciate if you could go ahead and email the pictures if you have them scanned or semd me an email and I will send you mt address thank you so much. I also Live in Ohio. Getting back to my mom she is missing my Dad every Day and cry's every day still. Mom's cancer has spread to her lungs and her pelvis and it is in her bones and Bone marrow. She has went through Radiation to slow the cancer and also radiation to slow down the pain. She has lost 40 pounds and is moving slow but she is still trying to hang in there. The doctor gave her 6 months to 1 year to live and she had passed 8 months so far. It is very time sensitive on mom right now so if you do have pictures I would love to get a copy of them before she dies I really don't think she has much time left. You don't know how much this means to me. I am praying that you do know my Dad because I missed so much information about Korean and the war and I hope you will be able to tell me about it. If you end up that it isn't the right fuller. I would appreciate any stories or Information about the war any way that you can share with me that is if it isn't to hard for you to talk about it. If you can't talk about it maybe you can through email. Again thank you so so very much for contacting me. Karen Leslie Fuller
