Comments: I am the granddaughter of Richard Eugene Plank, who served with the
1903rd in Korea. I think he was in from 1950-1952, and I believe he was
in the Illinois National Guard.
He passed away in 1961, and my mother (his daughter) and the rest of
the family would love to hear from anyone who knew him or could tell us
about the work of the 1903rd in Korea.
Thanks in advance.

LOOKING FOR GENERAL INFO ON THE 1903....

Comments: I am the grandson of Paul Soho who is alive but his health is not the best. As time goes on, I have become more and more interested in finding info on what he was involved in during the Korean War, both for mine and my families interest and also to make sure he is honored the way all those there should be. It was only a few years ago that we found out he had four medals coming to him that he had never followed up on himself and he never told any of us about. This along with a lot of recent reading and watching some very good specials on the Military and Military History channel have spurred my interest and drive to find out more.

To this day, none of us, not even my grandmother know anymore than the fact that he was there. It was just in the past few weeks that I realized that I never thought about using the internet to look this up, I just needed to know his unit. He did tell me this much, so here I am tonight trying to find out more of what he and the 1903 were involved in. Was it more maintenance and supply, was is combat, was it rescue operations, were they involved in any of the major campaigns/battles? I know none of this but would really like to find out.

My other grandfather is more of the "proud vet" who served in the TX air national guard after leaving the army (following Korea). He will happily share stories but my other grandfather will not. He doesn't mind me looking into it, he just chooses not to talk about it himself for whatever reason.

Paul was there starting in 1952 and served with the 1903 Aviation battalion is all he has told me, and that is more than he has ever told me in the past.

If anyone knew Paul, served with him, or can tell me general info as to what he was or may have been involved in, that would be a great help.

Thank you from all of us to all of you who serve and keep us safe....Then, now and into the future!

If any of the officers remember I was the one who found the inter spring bedding you slept on.

Comments: Sometimes it's hard to figure out who was what and who did what in Korea during 1951 up to the signing of the peace negotiations.

Jim Foreman and I are trying to add info. so you can understand what ENGINEER AVIATION BATTALIONS were and what they did.

The 1903rd EAB was part of the 417th Engineer Aviation Brigade. This Brigade was an Army unit working (attached to) the Air Force. The words SCARWAF sometimes seen, simply means Army attached to Air Force.

Here's how SCARWAF was activated in Korea.

417th Engineer Brigade
903th Engineer Aviation Group
622nd Maintenance Company

931st Engineer Aviation Group
809th and 811th Batallion
919th Maintanance Company

934th Engineer Aviation Group
802nd and 839th Engineer Aviation Batallion

336th, 840th, 841st and 1903rd Eng. Aviation Batallion
733rd Maintenance Supply Point Company
420th Topography Batallion

All the above Groups, Companies and Batallions were attached to the 417th Engineer Brigade which was in charge of building, repairing and maintaining airfields (airbases) in Korea during the war.

Initially the Marines were using bases/airfields in Korea which were constructed by the Navy or were left over Japanese Airfields from World War II. When the Air Force went to Korea, the airfields needed to be made bigger and longer for jet aircraft. Many bases were built or totally rebuilt depending on the aircraft stationed at that base.

If you, your relative or someone was attached to any of the above listed units, they were a person in the Army, working for the Air Force building or fixing the airfields in Korea.

Just had to say that it seems the 1903rd EAB had the

and I know I was in Co "B" that same time because I still have my authorization cards signed by the Commanding
Officer.
Were their three companies there at the same time for that year? I don't know but would like to.

Comments: I was assigned to Co. "C" 1903rd EAB from Jan to July 1954 at Suwon as just another construction hand. From there we transferred (as a unit) to Co "B" of the 811th EAB and went by boat to Itami, Japan for a few months, but eventually settled on the island of Hokkaido, Japan. The airbase was called Chitose, and a more cold and barren place never existed on this earth. I got smart, told the CO I could type and served as company clerk until my departure in Nov. 55.

I must say, I'm somewhat amazed that there are still a few of us out there.

Names I remember: Ellery Okada, Harry Gannon, Amos Kawee, Sylvester Kubiak, Duane C. Frohwein, Robert Wohlfahrt. I believe the C.O. was Lt. Ralph M. Clack.

I'll bet half these names are wrong, but the old memory can fool you at times.

For those looking for the SCARWAF patch (universally worn by all) it's a white winged sword on a Red Shield. I saw several while serving in Vietnam, but I don't think the original is available anymore.

Comments: If anyone could help me it would be greatly appriciated. I am doing some research on my grandfathers activity in the Army and am having a difficult time finding sources for info. My grandfather searved in World War 2, reason I am posting this message here, is because my grandfather was always very secretive about his time in the millitary. One of the only documents I have is a Battle Participation Credit General Order dated (2 Nov 1945) heading being HADQUARTERS 1903rd Engineer Aviation Batt APO337. I did searches for this and I only come up with information pertaining to the Korean War, which he did not participate in. I understand this is a message board pertaining to the Korean War but if anyone has any information or places where I might be able to find more info it would be greatly appriciated.. Thank You!.....-Summer Rogowski

Comments: I remember no toilet paper my whole stay in Korea.
No running water. No linen exchange for 6 months.
When they finally had linen exchange it was dirtier than we turned in. The generator for the base blew up. They had sent the extra to Japan to be rebuilt. They finally found it in the Osan AFB junk yard. No power for 6 months. The only concern our base commander had was the VD rate.


Keywords: Only battle I was in was the K-6 airmans club.
