BROTHER IN KOREA AS A WOLFHOUND

Comments: My Brother, John W Ledbetter, went to Korea in 1951 as pvt,was a
Wolfhound in the rough times at the front. He died at the age of
50 yrs old with a liver disease that I always felt was the
results of chemical spray in Korea. He progressed through the
ranks as a NCO and then received a battlefield commission to Lt.
in the 16 months he was in Korea,was wounded 2 times,also
received Silver & Gold Stars for his actions.When I tried to get
his record for the service he perfooed I was told his records
was destroyed in a fire in the archives. In fact, in my contacts
with the archive they were insulting in their statements. After a
Congressional appeal they reissued his medals. We had pictures of
him and buddies during all his duties . All we were asking for
was his perfooance while serving in Korea for family history.
Col. Hackworth of FOX News was in the same operations as John and
knew my brother well, but passed away with the same ailment as my
brother before he could help me with infooation.
If anyone has infooation to contribute to our research will be
greatly appreciated.
THANKS!!!!

Comments: I am looking for anyone who may have served along side
my father, Freddie Thomas Hamlin, in Hawaii from April
1960 thru February 1962. I have an old picture of him
and two army buddies drinking at the time. The name
tag on one of his buddies was Mouser. The reason I
need to contact is to try to get more details on a
relationship my father had in Hawaii with a woman. My
father had a child by this woman while in Hawaii, my
half sister. My father kept this information to
himself until a few months before his death. All he
told me was that I had family in Hawaii, and only one
of his sisters has been able to confirm that
information, but with no other details. I do know that
my sister's name is Leilani Rose, but I do not know if
she was given our father's surname. I truly want to
find her. My father last spoke to Leilani, I am told,
back in the year 2000. I realize that his is a long
shot, but I have got to try. Thank you for your time.

would appreciate any information to assist me in
reconstructing James A. Lowery's record lost in the St
Louis fire. James is 81 and not in good health due to
a stroke. He spent his life as a Brick and Stone
Mason, becoming a very successful business man. I am
putting together a shadow Box and would like to know
about combat James was in. Paperwork sent to
Government records stated he was only eligible for
Foreign Service Medal. This seems strange for a man
who held dying soldiers in his arms giving them
morphine until they departed. James was in combat from
~ July 1952 to June. James lived his life as an
honorable man, never asking more than his due. Any
help would be greatly appreciated. James was proud to
be a part of the Wolfhounds and remembers the song well.

Comments: I am trying to find anyone who served with the 27th
Wolfhound Regiment in 1950 in Korea with my father,
Charles (Charlie, Chuck) Traver. Before he was sent
to Korea, he was stationed in Japan and helped found
an orphanage with the other soldiers in his regiment.
I believe he was a machine gunner, fought at Taegu,
was involved in "The Bowling Alley" and several other
battles in 1950. He contracted malaria in the summer
and frozen feet in the winter. He has spoken of Sandy
Spicer through the years. Recently, I have learned of
his heroism and became aware of the several medals he
earned during the war. He is in poor health and any
info would be helpful in raising his spirits.

Comments: I was trying to find information about my grandpa during
the war. The only information I have is a cutout of the
newspaper saying he was part of the 127th Wolfhound
Infantry. I'm starting to think maybe 127th was a typo
and it is supposed to be 27th since I can't find anything
on the 127th infantry. If someone could please help that
would be great.
His name is Arthur(Art) Torres and the date under his
name is 1950-1953

Comments: My name is Christopher Pearcy and I'm looking for information on my Grandfather, Marvin Charles Pearcy. He was usually known as Charles because of his dislike for his first name. I'm pretty sure I got his regiment correct, the Wolfhounds because I remember seeing his commemorative zippo cigarette lighter that has the regimental logo on it. Apart from that, I don't know too much because all my information has come primarily from my father, Charles Pearcy, who isn't too sure about some things. I know my grandmother, Elizabeth Pearcy, still hears from individuals in the VFW, American Legion, and those involved with Korean War Associations about upcoming events. Still, I would like to know more about my grandfather seeing as how he most unfortunately passed away five days before my first birthday. Thank you for your input.
