Comments: My father John Ashbrook Lockett left the Corp in 1953 as I understand it. He was very private as many vets when it comes to war stories. He only spoke of base life and bootcamp. Although some of these stories were funny, they were all enjoyable. When my Dad became sick in 1991 he started to tell me more about his actual missions. I never saw my Dad shed a tear until that day, it scared the hell out of me. I am proud to say that he went to heaven a proud stedfast Marine. When he realized that it hurt hum so to speak of his missions, he clammed up and never would mention it again. there are rumors in the family that he was a spotter. There are others that he was some sort of special missions Marine. I know that he saw combat, he was awarded at least 2 purple hearts, and had scars on his back from napom(sp?). My Dad left the Marines a SGT 1sr Class. I now have my own children and grandchildren and I would love to be able to them new stories about Dad. My mom doesn't have any medals of Dad's due to a fire many yrs before they even thought of me. I would also like to find out what medals and honors Dad had. Please help me find out anything about him.

Comments: I am a former Navy Hospital Corpsman of the Marine Corps type. My Mother's brothers were Marines in WWII and Korea. My Uncle Ed Hayhurst was assigned to 1/1 early in the "Korean Conflict". Eddie passed away in 1995. Marines of all generations will appreciate this: When I joined the Navy, Uncle Ed called my Mom (his little sister) and said in his best, salty Marine / parade deck voice; "you tell him (me) I disown him as a nephew! Bigtime jock uh? It'll be some warm cozy up 'The Chosin' before he'll set foot on my property again! Y'all know I'm forever armed, and 'hatin them 13-button squid assholes!" Then he slammed down the phone. It takes nearly two years to train a basic Hospital Corpsman.... during which Mom heard not from uncle Ed. Once I completed those arduous academics, I was ordered to the Third Marine Division, by way of Camp Pendleton's "Field Medical Training". Low and behold Mom received a call from Ed, who (in his "best Marine dressed") said something like; "yes ma'am, and.... you know how I love ya.... and I want you to tell my FAVORITE nephew (ME, the Navy Corpsman) that he's invited to Ed's Barbeque & Brew any 'fuckin time"! After I presented him with a DI's Campaign Cover, we ate his gourmet chow, then drank a few beverages. It was at this point that Eddie Elbert Hayhurst broke out his photo albums. GENTLEMAN: I learned more from Uncle Ed in an hour, than I had during three months at Camp Pendleton, or would in the next three years at 3d MARDIV! Maybe even more than I've learned as a Marine historian during the past 25 years! Before I left, Aunt Gladys pulled me aside and told me, "I've been married to him for 30 years, and I've never seen those pictures.... he's never talked about any of that stuff with me". I must tell you all that I have (subsequintly) heard this alot as a civilian medical professiional (X-Corpsman). My original intrest in USMC history was strictly personal. However, now as more of you old bastards are leaving this poor young Doc, I am obligated to tell your story the right way.... Ed's way. I need to hear from Ed Hayhurst's shipmates in those specific combat unit(s)of 1/1.... according to Marine Corps tradition. In that manner which is now concidered "politically incorrect". Or as you and I know it.... "The Truth"! I invite any and all of you to e-mail me. I will be happy to call you or give you my phone number, and visit with you anywhere out west.

on behalf of all Americans, (even the most unthankful sons-a-bitches)

thank you.... Semper Fi!

P.S.; Remember.... it will rot & fall off before I check it! DOC....OUT!

Keywords: EDDIE ELBERT HAYHURST USMC (1/1) Koerea '50 - '51 (A freckled, blonde/curly, .45 Cal revolver twirling, whiskey tossing, combat killer type Marine).

(From Lodi, CA)

NOTE: Those who knew Eddie, know that he was a direct decendant of original Texas cowboys, and so he rightfully valued the revolver as the most reliable of personal protection weapons. Therefore, he begged (via mail) my grandpa (a Texas borderland law man of the prohibition era) to send him a .45 S&W "triple lock" from the family armory. So Grandma Hayhurst broke one down, and mailed it to him piece by piece in cakes & brownies! THIS IS A REAL "NO SHITTER"!

I had little chance to learn or remember many names of my fellow Marines. 41 days from activation to Inchon two waves of LCVP (Higgens boats) landed on the tidal basin by mistake, got lost in the smoke. 1st heavy battle at YongDungPo on through Seoul, to Wonsan, Kojo, ShinHungNi RR head, up the road toward the the Chosen in a pinzer to help the guys get out, to Hamhung, Pusan, Masan, transfer to Co A, 1st DUKW, up to Wachon Reservor where I was wounded. Then to Yakasuka hospital, states and to NOD Bremerton until discharge. We did alright, untrained reservists and a lot of WW-ll vets to help us learn the game. One of the proud, the few, the Marines. A proud moment in my life. Vance

Comments: My father completed basic in SanDiego, graduating in April,1951 with the 27th platoon, second battalion. He was stationed in BArstow with the motor transport supply outfit. He was on the General John Pope and sailed from San Diego to Japan on Thursady, April 17th 1952. After being in Korea, he was pulled back to division to attend Non Commissioned Officers school. He was there until the end of July. He returned to the fuel camp, but on August 22nd of 1952 he volunteered to go to the "front" bunker hill, after the 1st marines had been hit pretty hard. He was squad leader of the 2nd squad, 3rd platoon, of Fax Co. 1st marines. He claimed to have 12 good men in his squad. On August 23rd after being ordered by his lieutenant back to the command post bunker he fell under sniper attack a few feet from the post. I am hoping to find someone who knew my father and can tell me anything aabouth this man and the events I have discribed. It would mean a great deal to me.

Comments: Still trying to locate anyone that may have been with this group. My husband went to Pusan, Korea in Aug 1950 with them, on the USS Henrico. Before he was injured over there he was in fighting at Pusan, Mason and the Naktong River.

He was hurt when a "One Lung Charlie" flew overhead, breaking his eardrum and throwing him in the Naktong River. He was with another soldier that suffered shrapnel to his forehead. Both survived. This other soldier was too young to be over there and had to go back to Retraining at Atsu, Japan.

There is another incident near, or close to Mason; concerning a battered schoolhouse in Chindong-ni. There are several stories about this incident one on the Internet and the other in a book by Marguerite Higgins.

If you know anyone that was there or have any information please write me.

Comments: My father, Charles A. Bacarisse, was a Lt. with the First Marines, First Batallion, Charlie Company. After enlisting in 1950, or '51, he went OCS at Camp Pendleton, then was deployed to Korea.

He died suddenly in 1969 when I was five years old. I would like to find someone who served with him, perhaps in the engagement where he won the Bronze Star with "V" so I can find out what really happened out there.
