Christmas 1952: Hill 812

Comments: Let us remember 2nd Lt. Russell J. McCann, Private John Pugh, Private Alfred A. Loken, Sgt. Ervin Hulett, PFC Louis J. Hatcher and Private Chester F. Reas, Jr., all killed defending their positions against overwhelming North Korean forces shortly after midnight on Christmas 1952 in the shadow of Sniper's Rock. And a salute to their comrades who survived the tempest. A terrible Christmas, indeed.

It gives the names, dates and places, and the story of the men (by name) who servied in the squads, platoons and companies - the combat soldiers who conducted raids, went on patrols and manned the many outposts.

It is a hard cover coffee table size book, with picturs and maps.

Comments: I am writing on behalf of my Father, Bonifacio M. Garcia, from Santa Rosa, NM, who served in the 179th Infantry Regiment, Charlie Company from the Autumn of 1950 to the Spring of 1952. I have recently assembled his photos taken during his service. They reflect Basic Training at Fort Polk, LA, the subsequent boat trip through the Panama Canal to Camp Chitose, and the group's Korean battle experiences. In particular, there are poignant images that show the evolution of carefree young men into war weary soldiers. I invite any contact with interest in Charlie Company, 2nd Platoon. Richard Garcia
