1951 Member of 24th Inf Regiment

Comments: I enlisted in the U.S. Army on April 17, 1951 and was part of an Army "experiment" which amounted to moving enlistees (mostly 17 and 18 year olds) from all over the country in early 1951 to Schofield Barracks, Hawaii where we were given basic training, reduced by 4 weeks. It was alleged that this "experiment" was designed to quickly replenish the significant loss of lives in US Army fighting units in Korea, losses ostensibly caused by the irresposible mis-management of Senior Military, noticeably Gen MacArthur, by President Truman. Our cadre were members of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, a Japanese unit, which had fought with uncommon distinction and valor in WWII. After basic training, we were given a week off in Hawaii, with direct orders not to leave the island to return to the mainland during that week. We were then transported to Japan where we were armed/outfitted at Camp Drake and were transported to Korea where we were then loaded onto LSTs and entered Korea via the waters of Inchon, in the vicinity of the 38th parallel. Blacks were dispatched to fighting units in the 24th Infantry Regiment and immediately were engaged with the enemy with those units. Not long afterward, the 24th was disbanded by Presidential Order, as an act to end the use of segregated units in the U.S. Military. I was assigned to an infantry company in the 35th Infantry Regiment where I was in operations with that Regiment until I was rotated 10 1/2 months later, in the middle of June, 1952, reaching Adak, Alaska aboard a transport ship on July 4, 1952. I served out my remaining 3 year enlistment at Fort Lewis, WA, being discharged on April 16, 1954 in the grade of E-5, Staff Sergeant. I was frostbitten in my hands, and then later in my feet. Following the distribution of "Mickey Mouse" boots, practically all frostbitten feet came to an end. I later lost my eye sight and sent to a Receiving Station to be treated. About 2 - 3 weeks later, my sight returned and I was returned to my unit. Paper work to award me the Purple Heart was never processed and the medal was never awarded. Attempts to correct this have been unsuccessful due to the lost of my personnel records.

Keywords: Entered Korea via Inchon in fall of 1951. Was assigned later to an Infantry Company in the 1st or 2nd Battalion. Because of the fire in 1963 at the Personnel Records Center in St Louis, I have been unable to get a copy of my military records.

MSG JAMES B. WILLIAMS, SR.

Comments: My father, James B. Williams, Sr. was a POW who died while captured. I was born in May, 1949 and his unit was sent to Korea about a year later. He won a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart while serving in Korea and I am very, very proud of him.

He and my mother wrote to each other almost everyday while he was on the frontlines---or at least as often as he could. On or about December 2, 1950 he was captured by the enemy and died about six months later---as far as we know. His last letter was sometime in January of 1951 written while in captivity and under duress. The letter was very brief and acknowledged that he was now a POW.

I hardly knew him and although I have pictures of he and I (as a baby), I never really got to know him. If the reader has any information about him or his time in Korea or the POW camps, I would love to hear from you at the e-mail address above.

Also, if anyone can tell me how to get his military records and a replacement Bronze Star and Purple Heart, I would really appreciate it
