Nov 4, 1951 14th left with the 2nd ID

Comments: Hello,

I’m trying to find out about when the 14 infantry was left on the line with the 2nd while the 25th rotated back. My Uncle Donald Turner was killed on November 4, 1951.

A letter sent to my grand parents spoke of Donald manning twin 50’s and they were over run when Donald couldn’t raise the gun high enough to shoot over the bodies of the Chinese. It also told of the Chinese wrapping their bodies with ace bandage material so that even when they were hit, it took 4 or 5 rounds to bring them down. This is what makes me thing that perhaps the 2nd may have some record.

http://www.2id.org/2idhistory2.htm “The massive relief once again was completed without mishap and the 2d Division assumed control on 20 December. The tactical situation saw the Division manning a four-regiment front, the 25th Division having left its 14th Regiment occupying one of the sectors. With the extra regiment, the Division was spread across a 22,000-meter line with only two infantry battalions and the 72d Tank Battalion in division reserve.”

“The 14th Regiment reverted to the control of its parent division on 29 January, necessitating an extension of boundaries to occupy the wide frontage with three regiments instead of four.”

“One battalion remained from the 25th Div Arty to provide direct support for the 14th Infantry Regiment, which became attached to the 2d Division.”

Any information on the battle fought that day would be greatly appreciated.

Comments: My father was K.I.A. September 01, 1950. I am trying to find information about his military. I have a final report from the war department that states he was with Co "C" 14th Infantry...it does not state what Regiment. I also have information that states he was with "I" Co. 38th Regiment 2nd Infantry Division. He was also in WW2 served in the Central Burma; India Burma. He was with Merrill's Marauders. I did not start my search until 2001. When I was young I always "sensed" Mom did not want to talk about my father. I was adopted when I was nine. Mom remarried about four months after Dad was killed. This seperated the "family" because of the short mourning period. Our step father loved Mom. He tolerated us children. The family of my biological father, my Mom and the family of my step father wanted nothing to do with us four "kids". I know that my mother never stopped loving my biological father. She told my step father. Does anyone remember my father William G. Farmer? Thank you for your HONEST and FAITHFUL SERVICE.
