AMI MILES wrote on February 20, 2012 City and State: CLARKSVILLE TN Unit: K CO, 24TH INFANTRY REGIMENT Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: Looking for anyone who may have served with my Dad, Jasper Meeks. He was originally from Kentucky, and he served with K Co, 24th Infantry Regt. He received 2 Purple Hearts; with the second one he was sent home, as he received extensive wounds to his legs. He recuperated at Valley Forge Army Hospital, and later relocated to California. One of his best friends was Frank Tripett. He passed away in 2002; and I would just like to find some of his old brothers in arms. I am also interested in hearing stories from anyone who has stories to tell. I wish I'd had time to read and learn about the war years ago....but now that my kids are grown and gone I finally have some free time. I am currently reading Korea, the Untold Story of the War, b y Joseph C. Goulden, and I would love to hear firsthand stories of what went on. I know it had to be horrible, as my Dad didn't talk a lot about it, although he did have a story or two to tell. Thanks very much, and I thank you all for your service, and your families for supporting you as you served.

BENNY WILLIAMS wrote on February 8, 2012 City and State: PANAMA CITY FL Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: My brother, T/5 Verson L. Williams was stationed at Beppu, Japan in 1948 and 1949. He boxed as a bantamweight and, I believe, was the Bantamweight champion for awhile. I believe his normal duties was as the Unit Mail Clerk. He was discharged from the Army in 1949 I believe. He had enlisted at the age of 15. I remember him telling me so many times about how he wished he could have remained in the Army and had been able to fight with the 24th Infantry Division in Korea. He was killed in a fall in 1980 in Jacksonville, Florida while working as a sandblaster and painter. His family would appreciate pictures of him when he was a boxer, or personal letters.

Entry: 81849 24TH INFANTRY REGIMENT	HISTORY OF THE REGIMENT IN KOREA
TED BARKER wrote on January 24, 2012 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: AIR FORCE VETERAN Comments: Korean War Upon landing at Pusan the 25th Infantry Division was initially positioned some one hundred miles north of Pusan and given the mission of blocking and delaying advancing North Korean forces down the Naktong River valley from the northwest. On 21 July 1950 the 3rd Battalion, 24th Infantry supported by other elements of the 24th Regimental Combat Team conducted the first major offensive mission of the 25th Infantry Division with its recapture of the vital road junction town of Yechon driving out the North Korean defenders and repulsing a North Korean attempts to retake the town. It was considered by the Congress and the Department of Defense as the first sizeable American ground victory of the war. The 25th Infantry Division remained in the upper Naktong River valley into August in the area near the town of Sangju. The regiments of the 25th conducted delaying actions, trading space for time against ever increasing North Korean pressure. Fearing a North Korean breakthrough to Pusan along the South Korean coast the 25th Infantry Division was transferred by Eighth Army over one hundred miles by trains and trucks on 1-3 August 1950 to the vicinity of the city of Masan situated astride the southern coast road approaching Pusan from the west. By 3 August the 25th was in its new defensive positions extending some twenty miles in width from the southern coast north to the confluence of the Naktong and Nam rivers. The 24th Infantry Regiment held the center of the line in rugged mountain ridges and peaks of Subok-san to include Hill 665 which was to become known as Battle Mountain and Hill 743 known as Pil-bong. These mountain peaks had no roads or trails leading up their eastern slopes making it extremely difficult for U.S. forces to attack up them, as well as taking hours to re-supply units on them and to bring down casualties. Strong North Korean attacks with overwhelming force hit the 25th Infantry Division time-and-again. In the 24th Infantry sector, Battle Mountain and Pil-bong were often overrun and then retaken in hand-to-hand combat with heavy casualties. On 6 August during an ambush of elements of the 3rd Battalion near the village of Haman, PFC William Thompson, Company M, 24th Infantry, manned a machine gun in an exposed position and placed accurate fire on the attacking North Koreans until mortally wounded giving his unit time to react to the attack. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroism. Through August and into September the 25th Infantry Division successfully held its defensive sector preventing the North Korean forces from breaking through to Pusan. For this significant achievement the division including the 24th Infantry, was awarded a Republic of Korea Presidential Unit Citation. In conjunction with General MacArthur's surprise landing of the X Corps at Inchon on 15 September 1950 the United Nations forces in the Pusan Perimeter went on the offensive. In the 25th Division sector strong enemy resistance on the mountain peaks of the Subok- san delayed undertaking the offensive until 19 September when the mountain peaks and ridges had been cleared by the 24th Infantry in the face of weakening but stubborn enemy resistance. Once the mountains were in friendly hands the 25th went on the offensive. An attack to the west on two axes of advance was to be conducted with motorized task forces one of which consisted primarily of the 24th Infantry Regiment. Starting on 27 September and moving rapidly that task force brushed aside North Korean delaying actions rapidly seizing several Korean towns and in the process managed to liberate close to one hundred American prisoners. By 30 September the 24th Infantry had reached and liberated the west coast port city of Kunsan. In October, after linking up with the X Corps, the Eighth Army crossed the 38th Parallel into North Korea while the 25th Division remained in South Korea. The 24th Infantry and the other elements of the 25th Division were given the mission of eliminating surviving fragments of North Korean units south and east of the city of Taejon which had been bypassed by American forces and were threatening the American supply lines. By early November the 25th Division had successfully accomplished its mission of securing and stabilizing the area around Taejon and was moved north to Kaesong to continue the mission of eliminating pockets of bypassed enemy units along the 38th Parallel. After rapidly completing that mission, the 25th was moved north and on 19 November 1950 into the front lines which by then were deep into North Korea near Anju. Taking the offensive, the Tropic Lightning quickly ran into stiff resistance and was thrown onto the defensive as massive Chinese Communist Forces attacked and penetrated the Eighth Army line to the right of the 25th Division and opened up the 25th Division's right flank held by the 24th Infantry Regiment. Taking heavy casualties as the Chinese hit the right flank of the 2nd Battalion, 24th Infantry and with Chinese troops moving to their rear, the 24th Infantry along with the rest of the 25th Division began a series of delaying actions back down the peninsula, reaching Kaesong on 8 December and then south of the Imjin River in South Korea by the 14 December. Continuing Chinese pressure forced the Eighth Army including the 25th Division to withdraw further south to the 37th Parallel near Osan by 3 January 1951. On 25 January the 25th Division participated in the United Nations counteroffensive reaching the Han River by 19 February. On 7 March the 24th Infantry conducted a well executed assault crossing of the Han as the 25th drove north inflicting heavy casualties on the Communist forces reaching and holding a line just south of the city of Chorwon by the end of March. After crossing the Hantan River on April 11, the 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry attacked a steep ridge line defended by heavily dug-in Chinese forces and was initially repulsed. Two days later in bitter fighting the ridge was taken by the 24th Infantry. On 22 April the Chinese started a new offensive that pushed back the United Nations forces including the 25th Division to the area just north of Seoul. Another UN counteroffensive beginning on 20 May drove the Chinese back north across the 38th Parallel. On 2 June 1951 near the town of Chipo-ri, Company C, 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry was assaulting a heavily defended ridge line when the platoon leader became a casualty. Sergeant Cornelius Charlton took command and led a charge up the ridge wiping out three enemy bunkers with his rifle and grenades despite receiving serious wounds. His bravery inspired his platoon to seize the crest of the ridge in one final charge. He succumbed to his wounds and was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his extreme gallantry. By the middle of June the 25th Division had captured the town of Kumhwa and then on 21 June the Tropic Lightning was taken off the line and placed in reserve near Uijongbu. Armistice negotiations started on 10 July 1951. In mid July the 25th went back on the line to its previous positions near the towns of Chorwon and Kumhwa. While the armistice negotiations were underway the two sides went on the defensive. The 24th Infantry Regiment like the other Eighth Army units in contact with the enemy, restricted their offensive actions to company-sized limited objective attacks and patrolling. One of the last significant combat actions of the 24th Infantry Regiment in Korea involved the regiment's Company F which on 15 September 1951 near the village of Mando captured a key Communist outpost with a gallant bayonet and grenade charge. Shortly thereafter in conjunction with the integration of the US Army the 24th Infantry Regiment was inactivated effective 1 October 1951 at Chipo-ri, Korea after six Korean War campaigns and 85 years of continuous service in the United States Army. The other two elements of the 24th Regimental Combat Team, the 159th Field Artillery Battalion and the 77th Engineer Combat Company both of which had rendered excellent direct support to the 24th Infantry through six Korean campaigns were integrated and remained active, serving in all ten campaigns of the Korean War. The 77th continued to serve with the Tropic Lightning until the 1953 then was inactivated. While assigned to the Tropic Lightning the 159th Field Artillery Battalion received a Navy Presidential Unit Citation for its support of the 1st Marine Division near Wonju in April 1951. On 12 November 1951 the 159th was reassigned to the Eighth Army and remained in Korea until 1955. Keywords: Excerpt from 25th Division History

IRIS HALL wrote on October 16, 2007 City and State: ANTIOCH CA Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: My father-in-law Private David Earl Hall passed away in July 2006. He also never talked about his time in Korea. Dad was a great photographer and was very friendly with everyone in Camp Hakata, Japan ( West lower Honshu side near Korea) during 1949-1952. He meet his wife, Mineko there and married her in July 1951. We found a scrapbook of names and photos of his friends along with a few items his mother saved from the newspaper. I cannot say whether they were all in B company or not. Here is a list of the last name or full names as I have found them on the photos: Pat Ambercrombie, ? Alveraze (not sure of spelling) (from Puerto Rico), Guy Banner, Ronald K. Davis, Charles Debois, ? Dawson, Capt. ? Dexter, ? Griffis, Sgt. ? Hale, Johnny Hay, Sgt. ? Halzey, John Hughs, ?

Williams, Sgt. ? White, Joe Wszlok, Cpl. ? Pina (looks Hispanic), Cpl. ? Hal, ? Upp, and ? Kadaine. Some photos do not have names and I am trying to find out who they are. Some of these names are just listed in a newspaper clipping with no photos. Please contact me by e-mail first so I can send a digital photo. After you verify that it is indeed your Korean vet then I will send you the original photo. I am trying to do this to Honor my Father-in-Law so please be honest.
