Keywords: Does Anyone Remember My Uncle Ray? He was in the 213th (15MM) Utah. I am looking for stories or pictures for my Ancestry. I hope someone remembers that tough old Cigar smoking Army man. He was a Colonel when he retired. He served in WWII and the Korean War. He received a Bronze Stare and a Silver Star. He was a member of the VFW 9276 Elks.

Comments: Hello any 213th members seeing this post - I have published my third book about Korea, titled 'A hill called White Horse' dealing with the battle and the 213th based on my interviews with Lts Joe Adams and Jack Callaway and other members of the 213th.

It can be ordered directly from me, please

It is a 'you are there' book which gives the reader the feeling they are participating in the battle and experiencing what the members of the 213th and other units went through during the battle.

Best regards

Tony Sobieski

So i never learned much about him until after his death. I would appreciate any info anyone could share. God Bless the Vets we owe you such a debt. Bruce Taylor, Orem, Ut.

Gentlemen,

Quick update for you. My book is coming along nicely, and am now doing
phone interviews with some of the men. I have just finished interviewing
1st Lt Joe Adams Jr. from Baker Battery 213th FAB. He was the FO on 
White Horse when they got overran (OP Love), and he called in fire on 
his own position.

I also just finished interviewing 1st Lt Jack Callaway, who was the FO 
on OP Roger (hill 284) during White Horse and called in a constant
devastating fire on the the CCF. Fascinating stuff. Both men received 
the Silver Star for their actions.

I was in the inactive reserve in 1950, and was called back. I served in
the 213th Field Artillery a National Guard unit from  Utah, from
Sept. 1950-Sept. 1951. I was in Charley Company. If you have any
addresses of anybody in the unit, would appreciate getting them.

The 213th Armored Field Artillery Battalion was made up of three
companies of 105 self propelled howitzers, and a headquarter company.

Each company had six self propelled howitzers. They were a National
Guard Battalion from Utah. 

They were activated in about August 1950, and were at 75% strength, 
made up the difference with reservists and draftees. I joined them at
Fort Lewis, Wa.

In October 1950. as a reservists. We went to Korea in January 1951 on
the troop ship General Meigs. I came home and was discharged in Sept.

The 213 th FA Battery A captured a large group of North Korean Infantry
late 1950 or early 1951 south of the Yalu.

A 90 mm gun crew using direct fire shot bunkers beyound the MLR, 1952. 
Were assigned to HQ 23rd RCT. Called "90 Tramps". Lt Mundalow was 
Officer. Any help identifying these soldiers will be appreciated.

The 213 th FA was originally a National Guard Unit that was activated I 
think from Orem or Moab Utah. I was one of the first draftee's to be 
assigned to this outfit Sept 1951. Stayed till November 1952. Was part 
of a "Volunteer" group that made up the crew of a 90 MM gun that was 
activated to fire direct fire on North Korean Bunkers in front of 
the MLR.

I'm a Whitehorse veteran, he "Greatest ARTILLERY battle in history".

More: I was too late for Heartbreak, but did shoot Pork Chop and
Whitehorse and was invited to go with several other "volunteers" to 
stack remains in the truck, afterward.

Our OP guy Pete Mundalow, a former WO commissioned Lt. called his own
number, the so called no fire line, on White Horse. We couldn't believe
it at the time, he had Chinese inside his own OP bunker. The small arms
fire that resulted in a single round passing through his helmet was 
fired by a Chinese Officer and Pete nailed him with his 45. This same
night I vocally directed our entire firing Battery (6 x 155 Howitzers) 
because we had our telephone wires destroyed.
