1903rd & 811th EAB

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.

LOOKING FOR INFO! 1903RD ENGINEER AVIATION BAT APO 337

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

6123 AC&W Squadron-USAF `58-`59

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.
