I am searching for any available information on the 2nd Infantry Div,
12th Field Artillery Battalion, in which I served in Korea from April of
'52 through May of '53.  I am also searching for information on several
of the men I served with who did not return from Korea.  They would
have been killed during July and August of '52;  all I know to call
them by would be Lt. Howard and Cpl. Durant, who were both casualties
at the Battle of Old Baldy.

I checked the Korean War Memorial Database while in Washington D.C. and
discovered that both of their names are missing from the database
and would like to see that some information about them can be obtained
and included in the database.

I have searched several websites for any information regarding either
my battalion or the friends I lost, but have been unable to find
anything at all.  Any information you could give me to help my search
would be appreciated beyond words.  My email address is at:
jodon@powersupply.net.

Thank you very much.

Ed note:	Lt. Philip Howard is listed on the KWP dataset, but 
Cpl. Durant is not. Please send any information to the KWP and to
Don...
