40th Division, 160th Regiment, Charlie Company

Comments: My father, Charles King (still living), was sent to Korea in January 1952 and served 23 months. He fought on Heartbreak Ridge, November 3, 1952. He was in what was called the Sunshine Division (National Guard out of California). He was a rifleman (later on in mortar) in the 40th Division, 160th Regiment, Charlie Company, 4th platoon. His commanding officer was Captain Hardy. Sargent Archibald McClain was his platoon leader in the 4th mortar section. He also remembers a Captain Clark from Baker Company who was with him on Heartbreak Ridge and Sargent Berry. After Heartbreak Ridge his company was sent to Koje-Do Island to guard prisoners but he was sent to headquarters and became General Maxwell Taylor's personal honor guard. I'm interested in hearing from anyone who served the same time as he did and passing the information on to him.

Looking For Information

Comments:

Keywords: My father served with this unit in Korea from 52 to 54. His name is Thomas H. Murphy, from Cincinnati, Ohio. He has never talked much about his military experience and we were looking to find out some information. Most of his documentation has been lost and or destroyed. My father has become very ill and we are trying to gather information for him and present him with a shadow box present for christmas containing all of his service ribbons and/or decorations. Her would like to hang his next to the one of my decortations and medal I gave him from my military experence and law enforcement. thanks and God Bless

KOREAN WAR VET -40TH DIV. MILITARY POLICE CO.

Comments: As a Combat MP we weren't actually part of specific battles, except as the guys who went up to the front lines to pickup any prisoners and take them back behind-the-lines to places where they were held temporarily, before being shipped further back, behind-the-lines to the actual prison camps. While we were moving units, mostly at night, if the enemy got wind of it we'd get some mortar pot-shots taken at us. But because the object of what we were doing was to be very careful and quiet so the enemy wouldn't know what was going on, that didn't happen very often. Towards the end of my tour in Korea the "truce" was being negotiated and things quieted down a lot. Once, on patrol, a sniper took a couple of shots at us, but he only hit the jeep. We took cover, fired a few shots ourselves and then got away. I don't have a lot of "war stories" to tell, I just did my job.

Keywords: I was inducted into the Army on 22 Oct 1952 and released from active duty on 20 Aug 1954. My job in Korea was as a 40th Div. Combat MP, MOS-1677. We were the guys that moved units from place to place, mostly at night, so the enemy wouldn't know what was where. My partner was a guy with bright red hair who's last name was Leader. As you can guess, he was known to everybody as Red Leader. I've tried to think of some of the other names of people I met, but while I can remember some of the faces, at age 76, the names elude me. If anyone who served with me is still alive, it would be fun to e-mail talk to you.

FLOYD LEROY PRINCE

Comments: I'm searching for any information about Floyd Leroy Prince-his nickname was "Bud." He was from Long Beach, Ca and enlisted in the National Guard in Los Angeles, Ca. He was at Camp Cooke for a while, was a heavy weapons infantryman, was seriously wounded by a missile, but was returned to duty-Far East Command. He got Hemorragic Fever and was sent to Letterman Army Hospital and died June 27, 1952. He served under a Seargeant Jacobi (I'm not sure of the spelling), does anyone know him, too? Please email with any information, my mom was engaged to Floyd before he died. Thank you all very much. Respectfully, Nancy French
