Uncle was in 187th RCT

Column_1_Spacer Column_2_Spacer
Christopher Kohn wrote on 2009-12-04 00:58:37.0

Comments: Hello. My uncle was a in the 187th RCT and did the two combat jumps in Korea. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a resource where or how I can figure out which battalion and company he belonged to. He doesn't recall. When I pressed a little as to if he remembers any other unit numbers or company letters he mentioned "674, 676...3rd battalion, maybe". He was very unsure. He also said he was a forward observer with the artillery. Was artillery its own company like company A, C, HQ, MED, etc? Does it make sense he could've been in the 187th RCT, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Battalion, Artillery Company?

Mainly I'm trying to figure out which battalion and company he belonged to so I can research the specific objectives and battles he was in. I thought I had it figured out when I read only the 2nd Btn jumped Mansani, but then I found other sources that said it was the 2nd and 3rd Btns from the 187th that landed on Munsani.

He wants me to find him some 187 RCT patches. I have found those, but I would also like to find him other patches and items he would have worn on his uniform. Hopefully for Christmas.

So, if anyone who reads this can help me fill in any blanks I would be very grateful for your response.

Best Regards
