Comments: Joined C Co. in January 1952, C.O. was Bill Helmig. Bn Commander was Major L. Kengel. Was 1st Lt platoon leader with Roger Bate, Frank Wolak, Fred Lancaster. Lts. Mueller, Caplinger also. At end of tour was assigned HQ Co. Exec Officer under Lt. Fuller while waiting to rotate (delayed by point increase). Missed O.P. Harry. Spent weeks trying to camouflage road to OPLR but could not maintain it against mortar fire. Built roads and bunkers, operated a quarry, and supported 2nd Bn, 65th Inf Regt. Flood waters in July 1952 were a huge problem, but my platoon was outstanding keeping the roads open in our sector.

Comments: My father, Swilling W. Scott, supposedly served in C Co, 10th Engineer. He was on active duty from January 21, 1953 until Oct 30, 1954. He passed away in June 1964, a month before I was born. I tried to find information from the National Archives, however the military records from his time period (1953) were destroyed in a fire in 1973. I was wondering if anyone has any information about him or know anyone that may?
Thank You, Major Swilling W. Scott Jr.

John Burgess wrote on 2002-11-10 12:44:35.0
Comments: In my spare time (don't have a lot), I have been slowly researching the history of the 10th Engineer Battalion. I was recently assigned to the battalion in June 2002 and have found little of the historical memorabilia that you usually find in a battalion.
As I read the comments of old soldiers that went before me... thought maybe they would like to know that the Sky Bridge battalion, named for the bridge they hung in the sky in Sicily during WW II, is still in action... supporting the Marne Division, now out of Fort Stewart, Georgia.
We are currently deployed to Kuwait... on the front lines of freedom, just a short ride from the Iraqi border. Suffice it to say that if politics result in the balloon going up... we'll be riding squarely on top of it.
Today's combat engineer battalions in a heavy mechanized/armored division is aligned with an armored or infantry brigade on a habitual basis and we support the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, or "BCT", providing mobility and survivability support. We have three engineer companies - A Co Warriors, B Co Beast and, no C Co, but D Co Dawgs of War. We retained the D Co due to the presidential unit citation earned at Chosin. I recently learned that a battalion in Germany, that used to be the 10th Engineer Battalion was reflagged when the 3rd Division was moved from Germany to Fort Stewart... but even though the battalion was reflagged... the D Co that had to become C Co refused to drop the "Dawgs of War" motto and retain it still today.
As for our mission and operations in Kuwait... you can learn an awful lot from the following Web Site: www.globalsecurity.org. Check for Operation Desert Spring, or the U.S. Order of Battle under Target Iraq.
If any of you would like to write current soldiers in the battalion and share perspectives, you can write to through me...
MAJ John E. Burgess HHC, 10 EN Bn (NY Kabal) Operation DESERT SPRING APO AE 09303
Just put Name with "(10E-Korea)" in the return address and I'll know who it's from. They ended the "Any Soldier Mail" program for security and force protection reasons.

Comments: I have a picture made on troop ship as we were coming in to Japan, Fall of 1952. One of the men was named Crofoot ( or Crowfoot), he was assigned to the 25th Infantry Division. I believe he was from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. One of the men pictured was named Brockman, he was a member of 5th RCT, had been wounded, was returning to duty.
I was on my way to the 3rd Infantry Division.
The picture was made by a man named Bander, or Bender or Binder.
I would love to hear from any or all of these men.

Iam looking for any info on my father who was reported missing in

21 Nov. 1950 near Majon-ni, Korea.
There is a memorial to Him in the National Memorial Cemetery of the

because there was no personal effects ever sent home.
The following is some info about Him: Corporal Charles LeRoy Somers,

My name is Ray Anderson and I'm a member of the Outpost Harry Assn.
and a former member of the 10th Combat Engr. Bn. My company, Baker
Company, supported the 15th Inf. Regt. Prior to the siege of Harry,
we had been on the outpost reinforcing the bunkers and enlarging the
trenches.
At that time most of the trenches were deep enough that you could walk
around the outpost without being seen. After the siege, the trenches
were blasted to a point that in some places you had to crawl your way
along the trench line. We went up on the outpost everyday during the
siege. It was mostly a clean up job as the trenches were littered with
dear Chinese Communist troops. They were also in the bunkers so we had
to make sure they were dead and then remove the bodies to make the
bunker operational.
During the night of June 13th. we sent a contingent of our guys up to
lay anti personal mines called foot mines out in front of Harry on the
slope leading to the Chinese outpost Star.
Lt. Geo. Weiser, one of the platoon leaders with the operation told me
later over a beer, that you either had to lay a mine on a body or move
a body in order to lay the mine. While on the outpost, this group got
caught as the outpost became surrounded. The engineers fought as
infantry the remainder of the night to repel the enemy along with the
5th RCT that were occupying the outpost.
Prior to the siege, a group of engineers led by 1st Lt. Frances X. Riley
& Lt. Alan Lichtenberg installed 55 gal. Drums of napalm out in front
of the outpost. This napalm was wired up to detonate upon the advance
of the enemy forces. It was used the first night of the siege and
helped in the defense of Harry.
In the case of my own squad and platoon, we lost two platoon leaders,
one serious wounded and the other KIA. My own squad was practically
decimated and I became the squad leader after only being in Korea for
about 2 months. If I can think of some more input, I'll send it along.

It was the 172nd. Infantry Regiment of the 58th. Division CCF 20th.
Liberation Peoples Army. For a long time we had thought that We were up
against 10 CCF Divisions, now We know it was 12 Divisions and all the
Support Units.
The Numbers We had for Years was 15,000 UN Forces Marine,Army and 41
British Commando. to 120,000 CCF, Now We know it's more like 160,000 ?.
These 450,000 Liberations CCF Army had never knwo defeat! as with that
regiment that Tried to come over "East Hill" were stopped by an
Army Combat Engineer Company!!
Hagaru-ri on the 6th. of December was surrounded by more than 70,000 CCF
Combat Forces and We Broke out to Koto-ri 11 Miles South took us
from 6 AM the 6th Of December till 1900 Hrs the evening of the 7th. to
