Entry: 86544 187TH RCT	ANYONE REMEMBER JAMES R. WEST?
TERRI KELLEY wrote on June 18, 2013 City and State: OAKRIDGE OR Unit: 187TH Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: Hello. I am the daughter of James R. West. He served for over 20 years in the Army. His first deployment was to Korea in late 1949 or early 1950 where he was assigned to the 187th. He was a paratrooper. He told me stories of moving through the country on a half-track with four 50mm quads on it. He said he arrived just after the 187th had rescued the general captured by the enemy. I was wondering if anyone out there remembers my dad. He would have only been about 19 years old at the time. It would be great to get in touch with fellow soldiers who knew him back then. Thank you for your time. Keywords: James Russell West, James R. West, JR West, 187th
