Anyone Remember SGT Bayne O. Renfro, Corpsman, 2ND ID

Comments: My father-in-law, Bayne O. Renfro, passed away a year ago, never having said very much about his time in Korea. His service records were apparently destroyed in a fire at ARPERCEN in the 70's; they have been no help. From what we have been able to piece together, we know he was a Corpsman with the 2ND Infantry Division, and may have been on or near the front during the Chinese crossing of the Yalu River. Anyone who remembers him or has info, it would be appreciated by his family. Although he was a pretty quiet man, he had a mischievous streak wider than the DMZ, and his family can't help but wonder what he was like all those years ago. Thank you.
