Comments: I am trying to find my Dad. I really don't know if this is his unit or not but maybe someone out there knows? If anyone knows him or his whereabouts or even has any stories about him that would be great! I just want to let him know that my Mother died last summer. Hername was Yvonne Smith but when they were married it was Evanoff of course. I would also like him to know he has a Granddaughter named Rachel who is a great athlete and I always tell her the stories my Mom used to tell me about him and it would be great to tell her some more!! I hope he's still alive because I would like to correspond either by email or by mail if he wants.

Keywords: Staff Sergeant First Class, Mother's name was Francis and his Dad's was Crume. has a sister named Mary Ann. Was raised on Quincy Street in Detroit, Michigan, which is where he met my Mom.

Comments: I was Ops Officer at 2d MID from Oct 1965 to Feb 1967. Unit designation had changed from 191st to 2d MI Det a couple months earlier when 1st Cav and 2d Inf Divisions swapped colors. All the SOPs, etc. still had the 191st headings. Served with two COs, Captains Prewitt Pace and Charlie Wilson. I believe Dennis Rogers was still there. Name sounds familiar.

Comments: I'm the Deputy Commander for the 500th MI Group in Japan and am interested in learning more details on both CI and Intel operations in Korea, especially anything involving the 500th. We trace our lineage back to the Allied Translator and Interpreter Section during WWII and the 500th MI Service Group during the Korean War. Official assignments are great, but personal accounts are even better. Thanks!

Comments: Arrived at replacement station in Seoul. After many days Bob Thayer & I took two bottles to Sgt. at placement center & said we wanted best location in Korea, and if we got that there would be another two bottles for him. Next day a Jeep & trailer pulled up and ask for Thayer & Taylor. The driver had on a DAC patch & sidearm with shotgun in Jeep. I told Thayer "Now you done it. Look what we got." The driver laughed and said he only dressed that way when going to the "Flag Pole' in Seoul. Spend all of 1964 there. Do not have any contact wwith other members. Wish I did. Larry L.

191st CIC Det. was attached to 1st CAV div. from  stART to finish
of the korean war, i was a member of an 18 man detachment, handling
counter intelligence for the 1st cav div. lt col loouis b.
trevathan was our commanding officer, initially .

we also took part in task force indianhead in pyonyang capital etc


Here is some additional data concerning the 191st CIC Det, attached
to the 1st Cav. Div., from july 18,1950, the eighteen man detachment
consisted of Lt.Col. Louis B. Trevathan, Donald E. Ryan, Eli Drakulich,
George J. Lewis, Norman L. Keatley, Arthur K. Bruhn, CharlesN. Kawata,
Gerard Sheehan,  Wm. Turner, Don Wiseman, George Yokota, several others
and myself

We landed with the Division from ships on the east coast of korea, north
of Pusan, and worked  our way to Taegue,  holding the line until
breakthru north around November 50, the detachment usually had a three
men team attached to each regiment during the operation, all the way
to North Korea, Pyongyang and near the Yalu river. We had a team with
task force Indianhead, cleaning out targets inthe NK CAPITAL

We had many close calls,  and sucessfully completed missions, receiving
unit commendation via GO #515,dtd 5 July 51. Luckily we all made it back
and rotated out of Korea after the 1st year, most  returning to Japan
and the 441st CIC det there. thats about the best I can recall,
generally, except for some  individual experiences .    


if you need any data, contact me on e-mail

John,
I read with interest your  posting of 21 Jan 1998 re your tour of duty
with 1St Cav in Korea.I was drafted in Mar 51, 16 weeks Infantry Basic
Fort Jackson. The majority of training Company had college degrees. The
army didn't know what to do with us.I finally was interviewed for CIC
school at Fort Holabird,Md. and was accepted. Class B-116 from Aug-Nov
51.

Finally sailed from Seattle on Gen R.L. Howze early Mar 52.We dodged
typhoons and were on the water 17 days as opposed to normal 9 day trip
to Yokahoma. Joined 191CIC late March 52 at Camp Crawford, Sapporo
Hokaido, Japan. Attended CIC TS 441st CIC May- June 52.Back to Hokaido
and assigned to 5th Cav Reg at Chitose Camp 1. Each Regiment went back
to Korea during the prison outbreaks on Koje-do. 8th first followed by 
7th then 5th last 

Our CO when I arrived in Mar 52 was Capt Samuel Cooper who had his
family with him and was about to  be rotated to the states. The only
other persons you might have known were Clarence Champion a draftee who
left in early Aug to be discharged, and Frank Caudill  the Co Clerk.

Our new CO was Major Stanley Soltes. Our eighteen man detachment
consisted of Donald K.Abe a niesei (sic) who was moved to Wakanai at
the top of Hokaido. Alan Hunt from Elcentro Ca,Don Schmidt from St
Louis, Richard Dolejis from Chicago,Wayne Kroger from Davenport ,Iowa,
Bob Miller from St Louis,Orwan Kollewe from Utah, Ward Cornwall from 
St. Louis, myself Dick Smith from Pittsburgh, Pa. a former State cop
from Fla,a red head from Chicago ,Capt Hashagen operations Officer, A
Warrent Officer and finally about Nov or Dec Lt Nord Gardner who had
been an instructor at Holabird . Gardner spoke fluent Japanese and was
promoted to Captain before I  left . I have missed a few.

We had IPW people Hiroshi Yamauchi from Walnut Grove ,Ca Nabuo Koshiama
from Hilo Hawaii and Roy Shingu. A good friend was Sol Gottlieb from
Bronx a Russian linguist with ASA.

Other than the Officers, and Company Clerk,I think the rest of us
were draftees. I am quite new with the computor and would have posted
this on the Korean War page where I read your posting,but I dont know
how.

My full name is Richard H Smith born 1/10/29. Currently live at
1415 Woodcrest Drive 
Roswell,Ga.(Atlanta)
E Mail turp129@charter.net

I have learned that Gen Howze was the First Commanding General
of 1St Cav 1921 to 1925.I Went to FECOM on a ship named after him.
Joined the 191 CIC attached to 1st Cav, then was discharged in 1953
from Fort Custer, Michigan.(Battle Creek) some coincidance!!!

Dick Smith
