29th Infantry Regiment
Photo by Hal Barker. Copyright 1989.

This unit was attached to the 19th Infantry early in the War. The 29th Infantry Regiment had two Battalions inserted straight from Okinawa. The 5th RCT also played an important role in these composite units.

    Comments: I am trying to find information about the 29th Inf Reg in Korea from July to September, 1950. My Uncle Davy was KIA on Sept. 21, 1950. He definitely deployed form Okinawa, as I have his letters and his Individual Deceased Personnel File. This report says he was operating with the 8th Cav Reg on the day he was killed and I've always been told he was attached to the 1st Cav Div. Is that possible? How could he be with the 8th Cav Reg. if he was in the 29th Inf Reg. I am planning to visit the site, near Kumhwa Dong, Korea where he was KIA on the 60th anniversary of his death, Sept. 21. Please Help me if you know of anyone during that time in L-Co; 2nd Rifle Platoon. God Bless all Korean Vets, A soldier's daughter.

    Comments: I am looking for the unit patch that would have been worn by the 29th Infantry Regiment during Korean War. Does anyone have a picture or drawing of the patch. The veteran was part of the unit and said the patch consisted of a castle like design, I am thinking the design of the castle gates, such as Shuri castle. Any info would be great.

    Comments: Looking for anyone who knew Jose Hernandez from Sacramento, California. Jose (my cousin)was a Pvt at the time he got killed on 27 July 1950 in or around Hadong. I am especally intrested to what Regiment, Company, and platoon he may have been assigned to; to include any information the day he died. My understanding is that he was attached (not assigned) to the 19th Inf. Reg... and that his MOS was 4745... Being an Infantry man during the Vietnam War, I am not familiar with the MOS, can someone elighten me on MOS 4745... Could this be an old Infantry MOS, since Jose was awarded a CIB???
