FLOYD K. CROUSE JR. wrote on March 5, 2009 CITY AND STATE: NASHVILLE IN UNIT: 185TH ENGR COMBAT BN - H - S CO. SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: ARMY VETERAN Comments: As stated in another section, I was in H and S Co of the 185th Engineer Combat Bn from Labor Day, 1951 to the Spring of 1952 - about 9 months. Kim Chang Soo was the house boy in our S-4 tent. He was just a joy to know; he was well mannered and happy to be in a warm place with food to sustain him. Also, there was an element of protection. In an environment where the pecking order was somewhat dictated by size, Kim, being the smallest, was on the receiving end of some meanness - from his own countrymen; Sgt. Crouse got that stopped whenever he was nearby. Kim would air out our sleeping bags, clean the (dirt) floor, shine our shoes and wash our clothes in the nearby Soy Yang-gang River. Kim said his father was a Korean Methodist missionary; he and an older brother would return home from time to time. To this day, I miss this boy, now a middle aged man, I hope. I have been in the Big Brother-Big Sister program locally but feel that Kim was my first "little." We seemed to hit it off well. Having tried to locate Kim through the Korean-American communities I have made contact with, without success, I seek any advice on how I might, once again, meet this wonderful person I knew for much too short a time. A deep-seated fear is that Kim might not even remember me. Keywords:

FLOYD K. CROUSE JR. wrote on September 9, 2008 CITY AND STATE: NASHVILLE IN UNIT: 185TH ENGR COMBAT BN - H - S CO. SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: ARMY VETERAN Comments: I arrived at 185th Engr Combat Bn - H and S Co on Labor Day, 1951 and was there for 9 months. At that time, the unit was in Central Korea, North of the 38th parallel and on the Soy-yang Gang River; it had to have been somewhere near Wontong-ni. One day some of us were at a nearby (thrown together) rifle range; we were wet and cold. I found a Russian rifle under some scrub and threw it on a fire we had built. The bolt had likely been buried; I thought the weapon was harmless - heat in the wood stock and all that. However, a live round was still in the chamber. It went off and the bullet went through the upper part of one guy's leg and lodged at the base of another guy's spine. They were evac'd to a MASH unit toward Chunchon. I found out about the injuries and evac by asking at the orderly room the next morning. The first guy probably recovered completely; however, how about the second guy? To say this still causes me some trouble is an understatement. Does anyone remember this incident? If so, pls contact me. If you are one of the two guys wounded, pls contact me.

Dedicated to Sgt Marvin L Groom who lost his life in a minefield, Jan 20 1952. Built a double span Bailey bridge at Inje (July '51) then moved up the Soyang-gang River, crossed on a pontoon bridge and high spring runoff later washed all our hard work down stream. Set up our new camp at Tripoli, about four miles behind the DMZ. That winter we delivered tons of clothing (sent from churchs in the NW)to very greatful Koreans in the war torn village of Kansong.
