Comments: I am doing a project for a class I am taking and interviewed Lt Jim Grinnan who was in Korea with the 145th Field Artillery Battalion. He was in Korea from 1951 to 1952. In my interview, the only other name he mentioned was a Captain Walter. He had a few stories about his tour but not much. If anyone has any information about Lt Grinnan or Captain Walter please let me know.

Comments: Just returned from visit to Korea and our son who is now stationed there.
What a change !!
Haven't been there since 1951-52 and really was impressed by the change and the warmth of the people. Whenever the locals learn that you were there during the Korean War, they thank you for helping to save their country.
I even met an older gentleman who, as a boy, helped by carrying heavy things up the hills ( a chogey boy --but they don't prefer that name) when we left, he gave me a set of lovely chop sticks as a remembrance. His son had to translate, but the warmth was quite evident.
If you are looking for an interesting place to visit, don't hesitate

Comments: I need help desperately. My father, Edwin C. Williams was in the 145th field artillery bn. in Korean war, I beleive in 1951-52. His discharge papers indicate he was honorably discharged with 3 bronze stars. He is in a nursing home now and our family would love to surprise him on his birthday July 13th with pictures of his army buddies and reasons for his medals. And other memorabilia if we can find it. He also had a memory book with all of his buddies in it. As children, me and my sister had no idea how much this meant to him, and we got to it and tore it up. I would love to be able to replace this to help him to heal. PLEASE HELP. I would like to get whatever information you might have early enough to frame it and place it on his nursing home wall. Please respond. Thank you very much in advance. Alveta Natal Proud daughter of Edwin C. Williams

Comments: Is there anyone who could help me in closing a gap in my private project: a large photo collection of the Korean War which I started as a high school student upon the outbreak of the war in 1950 prompted by the first worldwide action against aggression. Caught by the heroism and the power of endurance during the Chosin Campaign it fills an important part of this collection, but - understandable - so far no photos of dropping and installing of the treadway bridge sections to re-open the road to freedom and safety. Who could possibly help me out? Please drop me a message and let me know. Thank you! John.

R.O.C. Presidential Unit Citation |

Curtis Balvanz Balvanz wrote on 2003-11-10 16:05:18.0
Comments: My late father was in the 145th FABn ("C" Btry)from Nov. 1951 to late Jan. 1952 - at which time he was injured and sent to the 21st Evac. hospital in Pusan, then Tokyo Army Hospital Annex APO 1052, then home with an early discharge.
His uniform (among many other items) was lost in a fire during my youth. A couple years before he died of cancer, I found out how to contact the Army in order to get replacement medals. (I later found out that he had never received many of the medals themselves, just the "ribbon bars".)
One of the medals he was awarded was the Republic of Korea "Presidential Unit Citation", or ROCPUC ("rock puke"). I would very much like to know any details about the events surrounding this unit citation.
I would also like to find a picture of the 145th field battery insignia in order to locate a duplicate or have one made.
Thanks for any help or information!
Best regards, Curtis Balvanz curtisbalvanz@yahoo.com

Comments: I was in Korea from June 1953 until September 1954. The spring of 1954 I bought a movie camera. I have about 14 minutes of film that has been put on tape. It is not in the sequence that it was taken but is interesting to see. It is amature filming and not high quality. Some of it is not to bad. I had not seen the film in almost 30 years and it brought tears to my eyes. I remember some of the guys names and some I don't. If anyone thinks they might want to see it and thinks they might be in it they can contact me and I will make them a copy. Some of the guys I remember are; Lt Degan,Sgt Caloway,Bill(the cook),Stevens,Banks,Tippet and Whitey. There are other faces that are familiar but I don't remember the names. This is a list of the thing in the film. The forward out post on the front line Korean solders. Doing laundry. Battery area. The guns The Thing and Kiss of Fire. Crossing the river when we went to dedicate a school we built for a village. A Korean farmer plowing with oxen and a wooden plow. Some of the guns being fired. And guys goofing arounds. Guard Mount Inspection. Anyone interested call or contact me by e-mail. I never liked my first name so I use my middle name. Jay Mangus

Comments: I arrived B battery the middle of June 1953.The area was southeast of the punchbowl. I was a radio opertor in the FDC. LT Gard was the commander. He was promoted to CPT and transferred. CPT Perry T Dew took over the command. After the cease fire we moved about a mile to the rear.After a couple months CPT Dew transferred to HQTRS. I think this is when LT Heflin took command. We spent the winter in this location. In the spring we moved back to within a mile or 2 of the Btn. Th area was so steep they had to use a cat to blade out places on the hill side to put up our tents. Then we built steps out of logs to the top of the area. It kept us in good shape just getting to our tents. At sometime LT Degan came into our bat. as the XO. I left in September 1954. We had 155mm Longtoms and one self propeled 155mm. They all had names;Kiss of Fire,Peacemaker, Bellowing Bitch,Killer One and The Thing. I do have some pictures of some of them. We also had ROK in with us for training.Most of them were named KIM, so we had to give them names to tell them apart. Like there was Wire Kim, Scoce(don't know if that is spelled right. It means little)Kim and Kitchen Kim. If anyone is ever on their way to Yellowstone Park and go through Worland,Wy. stop and vist.

Dear Ted
I was assigned to the 145th Field Artillery Bn. which was IX Corps
artillery. When the entire unit was rotated back to Japan the
number was changed to 612th FABn.
I was a tracked vehicle mechanic. In Korea we had trail 155 mm,
Long Toms. In Japan the 155's were self-propelled. I would like to
find an address for my buddy from New York city, Wally Fielder,
who was a FO.
Thanks for your efforts.
