HUGH CARPENTER wrote on February 1, 2012 CITY AND STATE: TRACY CA UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: My father, Hugh S. Carpenter served with the 21st Infantry Regiment K. Company in Korea from 1951 to 1952 in the area known as The Iron Triangle. My dad has no computer, so he asked me to help him. He recently has fallen ill and is receiving treatment at the local VA hospital. My dad was on Hill 364 overlooking Kumsong Province on Jan. 23, 1952. Shortly thereafter my father was wounded in action from enemy shrapnel and was E-VACed to the 25th Medical Evacuation Hospital in Taegu Korea. I had early thought my father was sent to Japan, but this is not the case and an error on my part. Needless to say, my father never received his Purple Heart due to loss of chain of command, for upon returning to the front lines his previous unit was disbanded and he was re-assigned to the 40th Replacement Co. Division of the California National Guard. It would be a great thrill for my father to reconnect with any of the buddies he fought along side, some of their names are Castanga, Spero, Esposito, Dvoreck, Everly, Bano, and Lt. Wolfe. Their spelling may be incorrect, for that I apologize. Any information would be most greatly appreciated. Keywords: 21st Regiment K. Co., 40th Replacement Co. Division, California National Guard.

Entry: 70202 21ST INFANTRY REGIMENT	LOOKING FOR INFO ON MY FATHER - THEODORE
NICHOLAS SLOAN wrote on May 17, 2009 CITY AND STATE: COLORADO SPRINGS CO UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: I am looking for any information on my father, Theodore "Ted" Sloan. According to some papers I found after he passed away, he was in the 21st Infantry, Company L. I found an fascinating account of a battle at Hill 296, which he called "Sleeping Bag Hill." Apparently, it was called that because at the onset of the battle, sleeping bags were left all over the hill and by the end they were ripped to shreds, and feathers were everywhere. Referenced in my father's papers were a "Col. Stephens, Joe Griffith, Freddie Pickens (KIA), Hugh Brown, Col. "Mac" McConnel." I would be happy to provide the papers to any interested or related persons. Keywords: Hill 296, Co. L, 21st Infantry, Sleeping Bag Hill

Entry: 69030 21ST INFANTRY REGIMENT	CORPORAL LEON FLAKE, CO K, 21ST REG,24TH DIV
DONALD BARNHART JR. wrote on February 8, 2009 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FRIEND OF VETERAN Comments: I am doing research on Corporal Leon Flake who was wounded in both legs on Sept 2, 1950 during Company K's assault on Hill 99. I am interested in any recollections of the assault on Hill 99 and anyone who might have known Corporal Flake. He was especially interested in finding out the name of an African American officer who commanded medical personel at the field hospital where Co K wounded were taken. Many of the wounded spent the evening in a stream, thus avoiding death by the North Koreans who usually dispatched the wounded if they captured them. Corporal Flake was pulled out of the stream and rescued before being carried to the hospital. Did South Koreans assist in carrying off the wounded? I would love to communicate with any veterans or their relatives who were on Hill 99. Don Barnhart Keywords:
