PLEASE HELP!!

Comments: Was in the 3rd Platoon, A Troop, 1/18 CAV in Pomona from 1983-1985. Am looking for information that I can use to trace the lineage of the Troop back through the Korean War years (I know the Troop is a descendant of the 185 IR & then the 139 Tnk Bn. before the CAV). If anyone could provide the assistance, I would appreciate it.

Would also like to know if the 3rd Platoon was "officially" authorized the PUC for action in the Philipines in WWII; was told we were, but have not been able to find anything official.

Thanks for the assistance with this, but more importantly: THANKS FOR WHAT YOU GUYS DID IN KOREA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone remember this?

Comments: 40th division, 223rd Infantry regiment. Anyone out there remember this? In the dead of night our Tank Company replaced another TankCompany on line. We rumbled up a mountain road being as quiet as a tank could be, which wasn't very quiet. When we were in position, and things quieted down, then, all of a sudden, we were treated to a loud speaker coming from the enemy side, booming with words in English, that went something like this, "Welcome 40th Division, glad you are here! We wonder how your wives and girlfriends are doing back home? Don't you wish you were back home too?" Ed Tessmer zartess@aol.com

Comments: I have had all the letters that I received from Jim from Sept.'52-Nov.26,'52 Foolishly I stopped writing because of another person-I now, finally, after 50 years got to see him again in Aug.'02 And got to say how very sorry I was for not being a better "friend"! I went to the Wi. Korean War Memorial in Aug'02 to pay my respects to all of you! I was with a few more of our good guys right before they shipped over seas---was not fun for those of us left back home. It most likely changed our lives, too! Reading through his letters, I know all of the places I have been seeing on these web sites---He (Jim) does not have a computer and has lost his wife of 46+ years and night now does not want to be reminded of bad things. Thank you for having such sites as I've seen---hopefully, someday, I can show them to him. I'm in Traverse City Mi---he is in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I feel that he is farther away than when he was in Korea! If any of his buddies from those days sees this-- e-mail and I will give you his address. An Old "Girlfriend" Sue Hall suzyh432@Yahoo.com

Looking for Information

Comments: My first question is, was there a 23rd Regiment in the 40th Division, or is it only (along with the sister regiments) the 223rd?

My uncle once told me he was a member of 40th ID, in the 23rd Reg, 3rd Battalion, K and HQ companies. He was in Korea.

His name is David Snipes and he was a 2nd Lt. promoted to 1st Lt. on the ship home from Korea.

Does anyone out there know him? He will tell me nothing of his experiences. I truly wish to know more about what his units did during the war. I only found out the above units yesterday.

Many thanks, Mark
