Hedron 33 Korea

Comments: My father, Robert Carpenter, served with Headquarters Sqdn, MAG-33 from August 1950 to July 1951. He was a radio operator and chief radio operator, first a serjeant, then a staff sgt. I would like to hear from anyone who can tell me what the history of that unit would have been or tell me where to find it. I have read US Marine Operations 1950-1953, but it focuses on 1st Marine Division. In Volume III, after Inchon, it never mentions MAG 33 at all, only MAG 12. I would appreciate any information. Thank you

Our goal is to open a museum about US occupation during Pacific War. I know that MAG 31 was here during WW2. Could you tell me more about that time in Wallis.
