    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.

    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.
