Looking For WILLIAM L. MILANO

Comments: I am looking for William L. Milano of The 27th Inf. Regt. 25th Div. I & R. Or anyone that can give me some information about a November 6, 1950 I&R mission which resulted in an ambush. My Uncle, PFC Donald R. Richards was part of this mission, in which he is listed as KIA on this website. I have spoken to Arthur D. Montgomery and he states that he spoke with William Milano last year. I have a list of all casulties and KIA for the27th Inf. Regt. 25th Div. that day and an Associated Press story which depicts an atrocity which occurred that day and my family is very interested to find out the details of that mission. The headline reads "Reds Give Apples to 15 U.N. Soldiers, Murder 14". When my uncle died, my grandmother didn't want the specifics' and my uncle's siblings were too young at the time. His remain's didn't arrive back home for several months' after the family's notification and well after his memorial service. The remaining family survivors'! did want and still do want the details of that day if anyone can assist us in anyway. The Army states that Donalds records were destroyed in The St. Louis fire of 1973, which doesn't make this any easier and thus I am forced to reach out to you folks. I realize this is a hard account to have to recall and a lot to ask of anyone who was there, but this is the only resource I can think of. I have found transcripts' of The Senate Committee Hearings' (Senator McCarthy) in which William Milano was interviewed in late 1953 but the information is vague at most and doesn't contain the investigation reports' conducted by The 8th Army Investigation Team looking into the events. A professor I spoke with states that there is a lot more information out there and any assistance I can get will be greatly appreciated. God Bless each and every one of you for your valiant service to this country. All of you are heros' in my eyes and those of my family. America is forever indebted to you all! .

Passing of a proud Wolfhound

Comments: My father, William McDonough, served in Korea from '53 to '54. He was very proud of his service but never talked much about it. I do know that he saw action and was wounded in May of '53, taking shrapnel in the head, neck and face. He mentioned a few regions in passing such as Old Baldy. His discharge papers don't offer us much insight into his experiences during the war and I would be interested in hearing from anyone who could offer some insight into what my father went through.

Interesting Article 3

Comments: 20 September 1950-October 1951 Changnyong-ni, Korea, to Boaz, Ala.

Vivian H. Butt of Ft. Belvoir, Va., widow of Ch. (COL) Henry C. Butt, submits letters, newspaper articles, and recollections that detail the service of her brother, ILT James A. Harris Jr, who was with Company E, 27th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division in Korea.

In a letter dated 18 September 1950, Jim writes to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James A. Harris, in Boaz, Ala., telling them he is healthy and feeling good.

On 20 September, near Changnyong-ni, "Lieutenant Harris was with his company in an attack under devastating enemy fire. When the company commander was wounded during this engagement and unable to continue the attack, Lieutenant Harris immediately took charge of the company and led the attack. After securing the first objective, he was seriously wounded in the chest by hostile fire but refused medical aid. Even though mortally wounded he continued in the attack and secured the last enemy strongpoint.

"Through the outstanding bravery and gallant sacrifice of Lieutenant Harris, the company successfully accomplished their mission and inflicted heavy casualties upon the enemy. Lieutenant Harris died of his wounds on 21 September 1950. The extraordinary heroism displayed by Lieutenant Harris reflected great credit on himself and was in keeping with the high traditions of the military service."

The foregoing is from the 29 August 1951 citation that accompanied the first Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster to the Distinguished Service Cross, awarded posthumously 16 January 1951 to 1LT James A. Harris Jr.

Soon after Jim's death, his parents receive the official telegram "to express deep regret;' signed by MG Edward E Witsell, USA, adjutant general of the Army

In a letter dated 7 October, GEN Douglas MacArthur writes to Mr. Harris of the "untimely and tragic loss" of his son that "has shocked all of us deeply."

"I am confident that his devotion to duty, at the cost of all he held dear, will hasten the day when ruthless aggression shall disappear from the face of the earth and free men everywhere will live together in peace and harmony;" the general writes. He continues: "Our faith enables us to withstand the shock and grief of death. It is my earnest prayer that Almighty God will sustain and strengthen you in this hour of trial. While the loss of your beloved one will be a hardship, we know that no life is really lost for those who have faith in God:'

On 17 January 1951, family and friends, along with a grateful community and government officials, gather for an awards and charter ceremony at the newly designated VFW post-Jimmy Harris Post 6837, of which Lieutenant Harris was a charter member.

In pinning the Distinguished Service Cross on Mrs. Harris's coat, Third Army commander LTG John R. Hodge comments that the awarding of the DSC"ranks Lieutenant Harris as one of this nation's great heroes.... It is given for outstanding heroism. For an effort far beyond the call of duty...:'

The citation that accompanies the DSC describes Lieutenant Harris's action in the vicinity of Hwanggan, Korea, on 28 July 1950 as follows: "When the enemy set up an observation post on a dominant hill and repulsed all attempts to be dislodged, he organized a patrol of seven men to take the hill. Climbing the precipitous slope, he led the patrol in a daring frontal assault against an estimated 40 enemy soldiers armed with automatic weapons and supported by mortars and artillery. Storming the position, his patrol routed the enemy in a bitter hour-long fight. When the hill was secured, 21 enemy dead were counted, 9 machine guns and numerous maps captured...'

During the course of 1951, Mr. and Mrs. Harris would receive numerous letters from their son's service friends who, in the midst of their own war and pain, write to console the Harris family to pay tribute to their friend, and to send copies of photos taken together. "Boy" Braun, a Ft. Benning buddy who spent time with Jim in Japan and Korea, writes from the hospital in January, on hearing of Jim's death: "I'm not ashamed to say I cried like a baby. Jim was the finest friend I ever had." He concludes with: "On my next leave, if at all possible, I will stop off and see you:' He did so a number of times, Mrs. Butt says, and was there too for Jim's funeral.

1LT James A. Harris Jr. of Boaz, Ala., who served with Company E, 27th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, died 21 September 1950 of wounds received in battle near Changnyong-ni on 20 September. He was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster.

Jack Montgomery, another Ft, Benning cohort, writes in June 1951, telling the Harrises of standing on deck with Jim when they pulled out of Seattle en route to Korea. "He knew how badly I hated to leave my wife.... Pretty soon, he had me cheered up and from then on when I felt low I looked him up and we would sing a few barbershop ballads or something and I always felt much better:' In Japan, "just before I left, he and I and a captain chased away the band one night at a party ... and we sang and entertained the bunch:' In concluding, Jack says: "His gaiety and wit were a blessing to all of us and he always seemed so happy that it seemed to be catching and made us happy too.... I shall never forget him as long as I live nor will the others who knew him...:'

In August, the Harrises hear from Mrs. Harris's sister and brother-in-law in Oklahoma, who report that they haven't as yet sold their store-situated on the highway connecting Memphis and Little Rock to Oklahoma City-"and we are kinda glad we hadn't."

The relatives continue their stranger-than-- fiction tale: "Today a soldier, wife and little girl stopped for ice cream. We learned he was from Korea and was being sent to Ft. Sill, Okla. I asked him did he know LT Jimmie Harris. They both jumped. The soldier said Harris was a close friend of his and he talked to him after he was wounded." The soldier was a medic who gave the family members information about Jimmies injury, helping "to alleviate a lot of things that we had to guess at:' He told of giving a cigarette to Jimmie who joked that "this will look funny to you, the smoke coming out the hole in his neck:'

The family also receives a letter from J. Johnson, Jimmies platoon sergeant, who informs them: "Before his death, we promised to call on each and every boy's family in our platoon that was lost over there. I have been back now from Korea about three months and so far I have called upon about ten families. I intend to finish the list as fast and as soon as possible.

"...I have a few small photos that were made a few days before his death. I want to give them to you. I will not trust them in the mail. If they were to get lost, I would never feel right. I hope sometime soon to get to come down to Alabama. And when I do I will come to see you."

On 24 October 1951, one year and 33 days after his death, the body of 1LT James A Harris Jr., 24, was returned to Boaz, the town where he was born, attended grade school, high school and college, and where he worked as bookkeeper for a motor company after returning home from his WWII Navy stint. Lieutenant Harris was survived by his parents; his three brothers, Wallace, Floyd and Alvon; and his two sisters, Iva and Vivian. Military funeral services were held 25 October. Burial was in Hillcrest Cemetery, with the Jimmy Harris VFW Post in charge.

Comments: 9 August 1950 Near Masan, Korea

Vivian H. Butt of Ft. Belvoir, Va., widow of Ch. (Col.) Henry C. Butt, submits letters, newspaper articles, and recollections that detail the service of her brother, LT James A. Harris Jr., who was with Company E, 27th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, in Korea.

"This letter, Jim wrote to me and my family. We were very close," she says of her youngest brother, who was killed in Korea 20 September 1950. The letter is dated on what he says he thinks is 9 August, about a week after leading the successful mission to retake a hill along the Central front near Hwanggan. Jim writes as follows:

"Don't faint-I think this is the first letter I've written directly to you in years. We are in a rest area now for a few days, so maybe I can catch up on my letters.

"Have certainly enjoyed receiving your letters. You can always make a letter sound like a news broadcast, anyway.

"We are now about 15 miles behind the front lines near Masan. We pulled back off the line day before yesterday to make room for the Marines. Sure was glad to see those boys. They are attacking now, and have gained back a few miles that we lost.

"We are now bivouacked in a potato patch with no trees or water in sight. The temperature is about 110, and the dust is so thick you can't see, but it's paradise-no artillery or mortars coming in, no bullets singing around like mosquitoes. Yesterday we got a beer and Coca-Cola ration (one per man) and last night we even had movies! This war could be worse.

"Seriously, things are looking up a little more now. Reinforcements seem to be coming in pretty regularly now, and it shouldn't be too long before we can start pushing north. Up to now, it's been a pretty rough go, as you know. We lost a lot of fine old boys before somebody finally decided to get over here to help us out. You probably read one of my other letters where I told about losing 27 of my men on one attack. That was a pretty big blow. That day my platoon was attacking up a narrow valley with two tanks, while another platoon was coming across a ridge on our right and the other was backing up about half a mile to the rear. When we hit the enemy, the platoon on the right was stopped cold and the support platoon went over to help them out. I was hitting very little resistance, so I decided to push on ahead and try for some high ground, which would give us a command of the whole valley. We got almost to the high ground when they started coming at us from all sides. We had walked into a nice little ambush. There were at least 200 to the front and both flanks. Before we could withdraw they had made hash out of about half the platoon. We held on a little ridge as long as we could, and I finally got permission to pull back. We had to withdraw under fire for almost a mile. When we finally got there and I took a count, there were 27 missing out of 42. You think I didn't feel sick! Luckily, I've got one of the best little aid-men in the Army, and he got most of the wounded back to safety Eight are still missing or dead-I can't find a trace of them.

"That was the worst skirmish we have had. Since then, we have beat off several large-scale attacks by the enemy besides a few patrols, which have cost me two more dead and five wounded. A couple of weeks ago, eight of us pulled a little attack which seemed to please everybody [referring to the 28 July mission, featured in The Officer in July]. We didn't lose a man that time and we captured quite a bit of weapons and stuff.

"Even though we have had a lot of losses, I think we have been mighty lucky, and the Lord was surely with us, otherwise it would have been much worse. Most of the time, we have been up against forces which were double and triple our size.

"This country is enough to defeat an army not used to it. There is no such thing as level ground here. It's all high, steep mountains, and the valleys in between are filled with rice paddies, knee-deep in mud. It hasn't rained since we have been here, and a lot of casualties are from heat exhaustion.

"Enough of my troubles. How is school by now? [At the time, his brother-in-law is studying for his master's degree in education at George Peabody College in Nashville, Tenn.; sister Vivian is working on her A.B. in education; and the couple's children,10 and 12, are enrolled in Peabody Demonstration School.] I know you are having a time trying to make ends meet. Sure hope you can make it OK while you're there and find something worthwhile when you get out of there. Goodness knows, you folks deserve a break or two for once....

"Henry, old boy, you stay out of this thing as long as you can. You know better than 1 do what it is and what kind of hell and misery a man goes through in a war like this. You've seen your share of it, so unless you have to, how about leaving this one up to squirts like me? [Henry, who had served in the European Theater during WWII, was recalled to active duty that fall but remained in the States; he stayed in the service until he retired in 1969.]

Scene at Pusan Railroad Station in June 1952. "In 1950, the U. S. Army ran the railroads in South Korea, with Korean personnel in both operating and training positions. The main passenger service provided for military personnel was the EUSAK (fight United States Army, Korea) Express, " LTC Marshall Matteson, USAR (Ret.), of Hampton, Va. explains. `A train ran every night, and carried ROKA military personnel to guard against guerilla action from the mountainous terrain through which it passed. Passenger cars were converted to sleepers... They provided room to stretch out and get a little sleep for the rather dirty and uncomfortable ride. "

"Henry Ann [addressing his niece], I surely enjoyed that letter of yours. Write again real soon. Jim, somebody told me you had learned to swim. Boy, you sure are showing the rest of us up! I didn't learn `till I went in the Navy.

"Speaking of the Navy, I didn't know when I was well off.

"Just call me `first louie' now. My promotion is effective today. If it hadn't been for this little skirmish, I would have had 18 more months to wait. That will mean about $50 more a month.

"Sure could use a long, tall chocolate milk shake along about now-- ummmm!

"I guess I've failed pretty miserably in keeping my letters cheerful when I write to Mother and Dad. I don't want to worry them, but most of the times up to now I wasn't a bit cheerful when I wrote and it's a bad habit of mine to write just what's on my mind. I do hope they are not worrying too much.

"It's taken me two days to finish this, so I'd better shut up and get this in the mail.

"Just got word we are moving out tonight for some place, so don't know when I'll get to write again. Please keep the mail coming and remember me in your prayers.

"Take good care of yourselves and may God bless you all."

He closes with,"Love, Jim."

Interesting Articles re: Korea and my great Uncle

Comments: I include these two articles about my great Uncle. I found them very interesting and touching to think of. Maybe some of this will speak to others here.

28 July 1950

Hwanggan, Korea Vivian H. Butt of Ft. Belvoir, Va., widow of Ch. (Col.) Henry C. Butt submits letters, newspaper articles, and recollections that detail the service of her brother, Lt. James A. Harris Jr. who was with Company E, 27th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, in Korea. While the story is that of her youngest brother, woven into it is the story of a family's interconnectedness to the military. Mrs.Butts three other brothers also served: Wallace in the Air Force, Floyd in the Navy, and Alvon in the Army during WWII. Her daughter is the wife of a retired Marine; her son, an Academy graduate, is retired from the Air Force.

Returning from World War II in 1945 as a captain, Chaplain Butt settled into teaching at Snead Junior College in his wife's home town of Boaz, Ala., where she had remained during her husband's wartime duty in Germany, the States, and Formosa. While Chaplain Butt was teaching in 1946, his wife's 20-year-old brother Jim "came home from his mine-sweeping part of cleaning up after the war and entered the college;' where his brother-in-law would teach some of his classes. Jim had served in the Navy as a radioman aboard a minesweeper off Formosa, the Sea of Japan, and the North China Sea, respectively in January, September and December 1945.

In what was called "a whirlwind couterattack, " Lt. James A. Harris Jr. of Boaz, Ala., leads seven other volunteers to regain an operations post lost hours earlier, 28 July 1950, near Hwanggan, Korea. The men knock out five machine guns, kill between 20 and 40 North Koreans, and collect 18 automatic weapons. Headlines in his hometown newspapers at the time report that Lieutenant Harris will be recommended for the Medal of Honor.

After graduating from Snead,"Jim found it difficult to find a good job and decided to join the Army. In 1949, he went to OCS and became a second lieutenant;' Mrs. Butt writes. His decision to re-enter service was influenced by a brother, then-Capt.Wallace Harris, who was serving as head of the traffic department at Lowery Air Force Base, Colo. Wallace, a pilot during WWII, had been shot down over Germany and spent six months in a POW camp. Jim went to Japan in June 1949, "and soon found himself in Korea;' on active duty there from 25 June or 10 July 1950 [information differs].

On 12 July, Jim wrote to his parents in Boaz, informing them: "I am going up." He added: "Don't worry about me. I have the Lord on my side and plenty of ammunition. You can't beat a combination like that:' On 28 July, he volunteered to lead a group to regain an advanced post near Hwanggan.

An Associated Press account, carried in the Birmingham News 30 July and the Boaz Leader 3 August, described the action as follows: "Eight men and a mortar staged a small whirlwind counterattack of their own this afternoon to win back an operations post they had lost a few hours earlier in the day.

"In the action, the eight men-all volunteers for the job-knocked out five wheel-mounted, Russian-type machine guns, killed between 20 and 40 North Koreans, captured two Russian-made telephones and collected 18 automatic weapons.

"The volunteers suffered no losses. "They staged the attack with a 60millimeter mortar, grenades and automatic weapons.

"Second Lt. Jim W Harris, of Boaz, Ala., led the foray which regained an advanced post of the 27th Regiment on the 25th Division lines along the Central front.

"Maj. G. Murch of St. Louis, Mo., at an advanced 27th Regimental command post, said he would recommend that men participating in the attack receive citations and their leader, Lieutenant Harris, be named for the Medal of Honor.

"Sgt. Junior Johnson of Marion, S.C.> was platoon sergeant and second in command:' [Names of the other six who participated are not included in the newspaper accounts.]

In a letter to his sister and family on 9 August, Jim writes: "Just got a letter from the folks and they sent a clipping from the B'ham paper saying that I was up for the Medal of Honor. I was hoping nobody would hear 'bout that, because those things are almost always bucked down at least once. Now that everybody knows I'm up for the MH, I'll feel pretty silly going home with a Bronze Star or something.

"I take that back-I won't feel a bit silly I'll be so darn glad to get there that medals won't enter my mind. They can keep their medals anyway-I just want to get this mess over with and get out of here."

As it was, the awards that he didn't want, he got; his wish to `get out of here;' he didn't get. Nor did he receive the Medal of Honor; he did receive, posthumously, the nation's second highest honor, the Distinguished Service Cross.

I was an FO/RTO and participated in Team Spirit-Operation Oriental Bayonet. All I remember is we landed at Osan AFB and left from Wonju. The 2-3 weeks in between was just a blur of villages, rice paddies, and helicopters. We were attached to 888th Marine ROK Regiment. I would just like to know where we were in South Korea during our manuevers, for my own curiosity. I wouldn't go so far to call myself a Korea Army veteran as I was only there for a short exercise but am proud to call myself an Army veteran of the 7th ID (Light) and the 27th INF Regiment ("Wolfhound"). I don't always miss being a soldier but I miss being around soldiers. The success I enjoy today is due in a large part to having been one once. I currently teach school in Nevada and fight wildland fires during the summer. I think of all of you daily and hope you are well.

Comments: I served as Platoon Leader of the 3d Platoon and Exective Officer of King Company, 3d Battallion, Wolfhounds from late in '52 until the Truce.

I am very interested in establishing contact with men and officers of King Company.

I remember Lt. Nick Pungitori, Lt. Steve Toth, Lt. Davis, and Lt. Jamie Hendricks. At one point, the Company Commander was Capt Gottardi.

I also want to contact my Platoon medic, Corporal Boogie Howard. He visited me while I was in Law School over 45 years ago, but I have lost contact with him. I learned from his son that he did not receive the decoration for bravery that Capt Gottardi and I submitted. He was wounded while rescuing wounded troops and continued to provide aid while wounded and under fire. I was hurt in the action and was treated by Boogie. It is very important that this brave soldier receives the decoration that he deserves.

At the end of the war, we were on Pig Outpost. During Operation Big Switch, I was in command of one of the POW exchange trips. On another trip to Panmunjon, Lt. Hendricks was the commander and I went along with him. Just prior to crossing the Freedom Bridge, the Chinese prisoners started rioting in the trucks by waving Chinese flags and throwing their shoes and clothing along the route after setting them on fire.

I want to hear from anyone who was with us on that day to reconstruct an accurate history of the event.

I am currently trying to make contact in Korea with Sgt. Song Kil Nam, my KATUSA Sergent.

Anyone from King Company or Blue Battallion please get in touch with me.
