He participated in the second Inchon landing and was slightly wounded in the head while on patrol early in his service.

I am in need of some help and was hoping that you could assist me. It would be so kind if you could direct me where to find more information. My dad before me was a Police Officer for the City of Myrtle Beach, SC and retired as a Lieutenant in the fall of 1973 due to some medical complications. He passed away in 1976 when I was still a young teen. Due to my dads business and working hours, I did not get an opportunity to know him as well as I would have liked, and now that I am reaching some age in my life, I would like to find out more about him. I have an article from a local news paper (Conway, SC). The article tells a little of the Battle of Chupa-ri, Korea in September of 1951 where my dad received a Bronze Star for his actions during this battle. He served in Company D, 17th Infantry. I was hoping that you could direct me in where I could find some articles, pictures or film that may help me learn more about this battle, his unit and anything about them.

ANTHONY DALLMIER wrote on November 2, 2010 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: Hi, I'm looking for information about my grandfather Pfc. George William Rich. I was able to get some of his records from the National Archives but a lot of it was destroyed in a fire and some of it I just don't understand. Through most of '49 and '50, up till March of '51 it says HQCO 2nd Bn 17th Inf then four letters that are faded it looks like AP07 perhaps. And for the job it says Pioneer for '49 and '50 then changes to Ammobearer. Can anyone tell me more about what those jobs would entail and also what REPL and Combat Const Spec would be. Thank you very much for your time. Here is a link to the military page I am setting up for him on Ancestry.com if you think you might know him or have any info about him please let me know. http://trees.ancestry.com/view/Military.aspx? tid=14818170 and pid=167687186 and pg=32768 and pgPL=pid and vid=9e3252 80-2528-4449-899f-bd59c8ae10e7 and pt=1 Keywords: George William Rich, Hoengsong, Korea, 2nd Bn 17th Inf.
