LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON MY GRANDFATHER |
JENNIFER HAILE wrote on January 16, 2013 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: Im looking for information on my grandfather,Cpl. Roy E Haile. I know he served with the 45th inf div, 180th inf reg because I found a record of where he was wounded by a missle in March of 1953 and returned to battle in the Far East Command. I also know he won the Bronze Star Medal and received multiple Purple Hearts for his service, but, unfortunately, there is no one in my family who knows anything specific about his service or the acts for which he received these awards. He survived the war but unfortunately passed away in 1995 without relaying information regarding his service. His wife, my grandmother, also is recently deceased so we are unable to ask her. My grandfather lived in Missouri his whole life. If there's any information, we'd appreciate it. Thank you. Keywords: Haile, Bronze star, Korea, Missouri |

My dad mentioned before he died that a Turkish unit was co-located with his 180th unit for a very short time - does anyone remember this or is there a record of that anywhere. How close was Outpost Queen to Christmas Hill? In the book Christmas In July it mentions 1220 as Christmas Hill but I have seen Christmas Hill as also being Hill 1040 - which is correct? My father PFC G. Duane Kohn was wounded on Christmas Hill North Korea (according to Army records) on 18 July 1953 when his unit was over run - my dad died in 1973 thus I cannot ask him these questions. Would this have been Easy Company that was over run on 18 July 1953? I have not been able to find anything listing what company he was in during the battle for Christmas Hill when his unit was over run. Thank you advance.

KOREAN WAR DOCUMENTARY SERIES |
SHADOW MIHAI wrote on August 19, 2011 City and State: PASADENA CA Unit: Service or Relationship: OTHER Comments: I am Shadow Mihai, and independent film maker. I would like to ask for your assistance on one of my projects, which I consider very important. I am producing a documentary series on the Korean War, entitled Korea: The Forgotten War. See some minimal information about it here: http://sjlume.com/pr_korea This is a very important project as the Korean War, in comparison to conflicts before and after it occurred, has almost no attention paid to it. Yet, it is one of the most significant events of our recent history, and was a turning point in modern politics, technology and warfare. Through it all, the people who fought the war made incredible sacrifices on behalf of us and our freedoms. As the generation who fought the Korean War is quickly passing (my father fought in it and is in his 80s), I want to ensure that we record their memories, actions and reflections on the war while we can. Independent film, and documentary film in general, is a labor of love. I need the assistance of people to help get this important project properly underway and completed. I need financial assistance, as well as help with access to records, information and people. I am seeking therefore to get in contact with Korean vets who want to have this record created and who might be able to help with one or more of those matters. Financially, I am taking pre-sales of completed DVDs or donations and sponsorships from individuals and businesses, all of whom will be acknowledged in the series. If I can get some minimal funding, I will be able to attend the 45th Infantry Division reunion this September with a small camera crew, to do interviews of the members there. You can assist me by copying this note into emails and notifying anyone you know who you think would be interested in this project. Feel free to contact me direct at the750group@gmail.com. Thanks!

LT. RICHARD ANDERSON, 180 TH INFANTRY REGIMENT |
TOM COYNE wrote on August 25, 2010 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: ARMY VETERAN Comments: To Lt. Richard Anderson's FAMILY AND OTHERS TO Whom It May Concern: I served in N. Korea from late March, 1953 and well beyond for accumulation of my mandatory nine months (9) of military service, to include the bloody July 27, 1953 shelling and attacks on Love Company positions of the 180th Infantry Regiment 45th Infantry Division. Lt. Richard Anderson loaded me into an ambulance (a jeep) of sorts while we were pulling off the front line on June 2 or 3(?), 1953 after a severe Chinese attack. King Company may have been hit as hard or harder than Love Company that night. (The "wiped-out," according to the New York Times later, 180th was being relieved by the 179th Infantry Regiment of the 45th). The truck in which I was riding was blasted off the "road" by mortar shells I was told and went over a 50-75 ft. cliff in moonsoon rains, in the dark of night. I was found next morning at the foot of a hill and woke-up some time later in a hospital. A friend from home, Vic Busick, came to get me - he slipped us out a side door of the "hospital" and when I returned Lt. Anderson was waiting and told me what had happened. Also, he made sure Vic (George Company, 180th) received something to eat before sending him back to his unit. I had nothing more than a concussion, but no one told me at the time. Upon return to my unit I was virtually useless as I could remember almost no one's name. Anderson was a wonderful man! Repeat: Lt. Richard Anderson was a MAN! I may have been the only survivor I was told by Busick. A REAL MAN, Anderson, was fighting mad at the event and most helpful to me!!! He has my eternal thanks. Today is Wednesday, August 25, 2010 and only today did I learn of Anderson's recent(?) death. Most likely no one will notice this small comment for, after all, no one cares but if my good thoughts of Lt. Anderson find their way one day to any member of his remaining family, I feel better for having told this story that virtually no one on earth has ever heard. Respectfully, Thomas J. Coyne, Ph.D., US52221059 www.coyne-assoc.com Keywords: Sandbar Castle, N. Korea |

His dress jacket has patch that probably explains a lot about where his unit was and where they fought. Can't seem to find out much about it. The patch is in a shield that has a black background. Inside a white star is a colorful Red Indian Chief? Anyone know anything about this patch? Keywords: |
