Comments: I was first in "A" under Cpt. Clark. The company had just come off the hill. A little black dog took up with me for a few weeks but ran away when we relieved a ROK unit. The dog's name was Taegu. Later I was with the 81 platoon, LT. Nance's "D" Company. We went to Koje-do in early summer by boat and came back to the line on the day the armistice was signed. The rivers were flooded. I hope to learn the name of the Lt Col who was battn. Commander. There was a baseball player assigned to "D" for pay but remained at Div. rear whose name I am trying to recall. Thanks.

Poem Night Before Christmas by a Lt. (name unknown) 1950-1952

Comments: I remember a poem written by a Lt., can not remember name. The poem was The Night Before Christmas in Korea. The year was 1950 to 1952. I was in grade school then and read it in the Detroit Times newspaper. It goes something like this: "Was the night before Christmas and all throught the tent, the odor of fuel oil, the stove pipe was bent. All the men were asleep in their bunks.......Then all a sudden, a Chinese machine gun started to chatter......." I can not remember all of it because I lost the article many years ago. I continues on with more that I do not know. I was wondering if anyone out there also remembers this poem. It goes on like the orginal poem of the night before Christmas but with words that fit the Korean War. I think it was an Army Lt. who wrote this poem. It has stuck with me for 50 years and I wish I had remember all of it. Thank you for listening to me on this subject. It was and still is a very moving poem of the Korean War and any war. Vietnam was my war. I was just two years short for the Korean War.
