Comments: I am a disabled Marine helping my grandfather clear up his past records
with the VA, as you know this can be very difficult to do. He was taken
POW with several of his Army buddies during 1950 in Korea and during
that time they escaped and made it back to friendly hands, he believes it
to be the 1st Calvary lines. If anyone knows of this can you please contact
me! It is of vital importance! His name is William Bernard Woltkamp, he
served between November 1949 to November 1952, he also served in the
Marines and the Navy...

Comments: Anybody left out there at my advanced age and having a computer so that they know this site is available for trying to get in touch with memories of more than 50 years ago?? Totally lost contact with just about everybody that I was with in those years, but never forgot the experience of knowing such a collection of great guys. Paul Huggins, Simmy Watson , Doug Shaw, Pete McNeill, Joe Bones, Tom Magill, Harry Trausenecker, George Merson, etc., etc. it could go on for pages. Have many photographs which most of you would probably want to avoid looking at (I try not to, also.) Anybody there who remembers me or any of the names I've mentioned???

Comments: I shipped out from Ft. McPherson, Gerogia on the orders FTMAG 370.5 Dated 1 September 1950.
SUBJECT: Movement of Unit to Port of Embarkation.

I was assigned to the Second Platoon 1st Squad Leader
Humble was in the same platoon. I know many of the ones on the original orders have passed away. I have a copy of the original orders that I found in my rat pack. I sent a copy of them to Rusty after the reunion at Myrtle Beach last year.

I shipped out before the unit moved on to Korea from Tokyo. I remained in the Army in Data Processing until I retired in 1967 as a M/Sgt.

I am now retired again and have a home here in Gerogia near the town where my wife grew up. I also have a home near the Pentagon in Wasghington DC. My address there is 5607 Tilia Ct. Burke, Va.
22015.

My memory is not great but I do remember some of the long days and nights we worked in Tokyo trying to get ready to take over from the 96th and alotho my memory for names is still bad I do remember many when I see them in the list. If any one else would like a copy of the original orders I would be glad to email them from the copy I made on my PC.

My email in GA is paikey@pcnow.net and the one in VA is duffer@netzero.net.

I play golf as much as possible (high handicap) and spend time on the computer playing stock games and keeping in touch with the family. We have a good golf course here in GA and it is not as expensive as most. It is in the boon docks (we all know where that is) but I really enjoy it.

Last years reunion was good and I hope many of you that are able will try to make it next year.

Comments: This site has allowed me to look up guys in my company who I went through basic training with at Fort Knox, Kentucky, Dec-1949 to Mar-1950 and to find out that ten of them were killed in the Korean War and nine others were wounded. It also led me to finding out more about a childhood friend who was captured, moved north on a train in North Korea in late 1950, told to get off the train at a tunnel to be fed, and instead the North Koreans started shooting our soldiers and killed everyone except my friend and two others. My friend was wounded up his right side and thought dead but American forces were driving north and came across the scene and he was saved. I was with him when he came home to West Virginia; his eyes were sunken in his head and he was not much more than skin and bones. He was one of the fortunate ones though; if you can call that fortunate.
