2nd Chemical Mortar Bn.

Comments: I joined the unit in Oct. 1952 and left in early July 1953. I was 3 days at sea coming home when the armistice was declared. I had my 20th birthday in Korea. The Battalion was at Kumwha when I arrived. We started moving when the thaws came in early April. We supported R.O.K units all of this time. I remember supporting the 1st Marine Div. above Seoul, the 7th Infantry Div. near Chorwon, The Greeks and Turks in that same area and the 555th R.C.T. In late May or early June 1953 we moved over toward the east coast to support R.O.K. units. I remember that part of Korea as being rugged and mountainous. I left from ther in early July heading for the good ole USA. I will have my 69th birthday in less than a month, so it has been a long time I was CBR Warfare enlisted man during my entire stay. I worked mainly in operations forward. The last 4 months I was intelligence sergeant. I finished out my tour of duty at Headquarters 3rd Army in Atlanta. I worked in the G2 Security Division with a Captain who had served in one of the firing companies while I was there. His name was Dodson. I think his first name was Curtis, but I'm not sure. Regards, Don Pierre Mobile, Al.
