ANYONE REMEMBER JAMES R. WEST?

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.

Comments: I am looking for any information regarding the 187th
RCT's role in the Kumsong battle in July 1953.
Particularly in regards to Co. H, 2nd Bn, 187th RCT.
My sister's father was KIA on 15 July. His name was
SFC Harry H. Knotts. I am interested in knowing that
company's location (Hill designation) and
circumstances surrounding his death (if any one
knows). I know that the unit was attached to the 2nd
ID and was defending the left flank of the line
against the Chinese offensive. Any additional
information is welcome. This was posted earlier, but
e-mail has changed. Thank you.

His remains have never been recovered. Just looking to know what happened that night or if anyone remembers Walter who may have served with

written as jumps. He completed 9 jumps total, but I don't know
where or the classification of these jumps. Apparently at the time of
the war most jumps were reported as combat jumps back home
because the servicemen were at combat.

That was the second of the 187th's six campaigns. The
first was in 1950 before was inoculated.
I hope I have him in the right regiment.

Comments: I recently posted a message concerning a photograph of
Leroy Cooke that I have. It was take on Oct 20, 1950
(which is the day before he died). I inadvertently
stated that Alan was killed the next day. I meant to
write that Leroy was killed the next day. I thought a
family member would want to have a copy of the photograph.

Comments: Glen was my Grandfather. He died long before I was
born. If any stories or experiences were told to my
father I do not know. My father died when I was 15
before I knew anything or had interest about family
history. I wish I would have been able to know him and
hear whatever stories he was willing to tell. I do have
a couple pictures of him however, I would love to hear
from anybody who served with him or anybody who has
pictures of him. I have been doing lots of research
and I'm trying to learn all that I can about his
service with the 187th. A lot of that history died
with him due to a certain family member taking all he
had in the middle of the night after he died and
disappearing with awards and papers never to be seen
again. What really went with him was the stories and
his experiences. I would love to hear from anybody that
knew him!
