Comments: I discovered this site while trying to learn about a soldier who died in Korea, Pvt. Edwin N. Love. I don't know if any one who visits here knew him or has any memories of Pvt. Love but that really isn't important to me just now. I learned today that Pvt. Love was a young African American man who lost his life serving in the Army during the Korean conflict. I wanted to write this note and say that I am truly enriched for having learned of him and his contribution. Pvt. Edwin N. Love has a street named after him in Yonkers NY and when my girlfriend rescued the beautiful cast iron street sign which was about to be "retired", I began my search to discover who Edwin Love was.

To his family, his friends who may believe he is lost in our history. Please know that Edwin N. Love is remembered, and I will pass on this small fact of our local Westchester NY history to all who care to listen.

Peace and Blessings to all who read this and to all who have a loved one who served and made the ultimate sacrifice.

J. Worthey

Comments: 2nd Battalion, 11th Field Artillery?

I'm looking for my father's old outfit in WW2 and what has become of it. He was a Pearl Harbor survivor, stationed at Schoefield barracks and fought in New Guinea, the Phillipines and Australia. I'm sure this is the right unit as I know the motto was "On Time" and that it fired the last shot of WW1.

Anyone who served with this unit and may remember Myles D. "Doc" Schell would honor me by their contact.

Thank you,

Dennis Schell

Comments: I am looking for information about my uncle named PV2 Vincent Lackman from Pennsylvania. He was a member of 11th FA Bn (B Battery I think) and he was captured and then killed on 20 Jul 1950 I believe somewhere around Taejon. After the war, my grandmother was told that he was marched and tortured after his capture, but that is all she can remember. Does anyone remember Vinnie? I'd appreciate any info.

Thanks, Capt Steve Hillard, USAF

I am looking for men who served with my uncle, Master Sgt. James Lethel
Matthews of Bowling Green Ky.

He had a field commission of 1st Lieutenant and was acting as battery
commander for the 11th FA Bn. of the 25th Division when he was captured
on July 20, 1950.  Sgt. Matthews was captured along with nine of his men.

Sgt. Matthews was killed during the death march.  He was 31 years old 
with a wife and a 5 year old son.  He died before I was born in 1955.

My father, William H. Matthews was also in Korea, arriving after his 
brothers capture. He was a medic in the Army.

My father has followed all the news regarding  POW's remains being found
and returned.  My uncle has a tombstone to honor his memory.  We have 
hoped that someday we can find his remains.

My father, William H. Matthews passed away May 15, 1997.  I have all of
his info ation and would like to continue his search for the remaining 
family members.

Any one out there with any information please contact me at:
