Small

Comments: I have just cleaned out an elderly gentleman's house. As I was finishing, I found a small flag, that has "RETURNED FROM HELL" in blue letters on the top. The it has a Korean and 48 star US flag next. Below the flags are 3 men, on a Russian with his hands pushing the next, a Chinese (I believe) with a hand gun in the back of someone holding a rifle with a bayonette attached. They are going from left (Russian) to right (unknown). Doees anyone have any ideas about what this flag was made for?

Thanks for your time and help.

Looking for Richard D. King

Comments: Hello,

Looking for Richard D. King or any of his buddies who might remember him. He was wounded on 25 Sep 1951 while assigned to the 300th AFA. I am not sure what battery he was in, but he was later assigned to the 370th Armored Infantry Bn in Munich, Germany in 1954-55, and arrived in Germany after re-enlisting in Dec 1953.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

300th A.F.A.

Comments: I recently aquired a son-in-law and in getting to know him, learned that his father was a replacement(probably served from around May '51- May '52) member of the 300th A.F.A. He is anxious for any information about his dad's service with that unit. If there are any members of the unit out there who remembers "Rafie" Rafalowski Any information would be deeply appreciated. My son-in-law was only 19 when his father passed away and his military service was just one of many things they hadn't talked much about. Thanks for any help. Sincerly, Tom Culbertson C/S Co. Recon.

Comments: I would just like to reminisce with Lt. Peace about some of the experiences we had with Fire Direction. I would also like to hear from anyone that knows anything about Lt. Peace. He was the best Ammunition Officer that I was fortunate to serve under during my time in Korea with Service Battery, 300th AFA Bn.

Information on JOHN L. MARTIN, RA39569578, Artilllery, United States Army, Battery

Comments: Request additional information from anyone who knew my Uncle, John L. Martin during the time he was in Korea or during WWII and the units he was assigned to and any of their actions. I remember many stories about his up and down the ranks problems (Fondness for doing what he felt was right and not necessarily what was ordered)... and one of his SS Citations which stated Awarded to PFC John L. Martin (then MSG John L Martin)... I am not sure if the above write up is the one or not... Uncle John has passed on and his Military records maintained by the US were burnt... his personal copies have been misplaced... any all help would be appriciated.

Keywords: JOHN L. MARTIN, RA39569578, Artilllery, United States Army, Battery "A" 300th Armored Field Artillery Battalion, distinguished himself by gallantry in action against the enemy near Inje, Korea. On 28 May 51, Battery "A" was moving in close support with a spearhead of Task Force Baker when the colum was subjected to intense and accurate rifle, machine gun, and mortar fire from a numerically superior enemy well intrenched on hills overlooking the road. Thoughtless of his own personal safety, and spurning adaquate cover, Private Martin skillfully manned the machine gun on the half-track personnel carrier he was riding, and succesfully delivered a devastating fire on enemy intrenchments. Without releif from his hazardous post during the enemy attack, he accounted for numerous enemy casualties. His quick, decisive action and his cool determined persistance under fire kept the column moving on its mission and thereby saved many lives. His gallantry on this occasion reflects great credit on himself and the military service. Entered Federal service from California.

Notice he was wounded on 28 May in the write up and it is writen in ink on the back of the picture ( wounded twice within a weeks time ).

C Battery, June 8 - July 20, 1953

Comments: I served just 6 weeks (see above) before being evacuated by a chopper to the 46th MASH Hospital with a gunshot to the abdomen. I was very lucky to be operated on by a young surgeon, a Lieut. Smith, thankyou very much, and here it is 50 years later, still in good health. Why me, I wonder, as I read this web site (and www.theforgottenvictory.org) at all the good men the 300th AFA lost in Korea.

I was a courier and drove a jeep all over the 5th Battle Group delivering manilla envelopes. The only name I remember is a Lavoie who transferred in the same day as I did, but I have vivid memories that I would share and compare with any of you who were there with me.

Looking for Grandfathers info.....

Comments: My grandfather was in the 300th. A. F. A. BN., acording to a large patch I have found. It looks like it may have been on the back of a coat, and is very large. At the top, it has the Eighth Army symbol, surrounded by a ribbon that says "JUST RETURNED FROM HELL", with the numbers 1953 and 1954 on the ends of the ribbons. Under the symbol it says "KOREA", then "300th. A. F. A. BN." It has a globe, with a radio tower broadcasting signals, and a ring around the globe in the middle. Around the globe, is the names of several cities in Korea. Below the cities, it says his name, and then has three flags side by side-first is the U.S. flag, then a blue flag with a white radar lookin-thing, with arrows around the radar. The third flag is white, with a pink\grey ying-yang, and what looks like four symbols from lines, one in each corner.

If you would like to know his name, please e-mail me with anything you might know about this patch.

Thank you!

CSM Eugene W. Lewis

Comments: I was surprised to find this entry about the 300th in Korea. Many names are very familiar due to my dad's memories of the outfit. My dad is Eugene W. Lewis, CSM retired. He passed away on March 3rd in Sheridan, Wyoming. My brother and I proudly wore the bolo ties made by a member of the unit that served in Korea and dad wore his to his final resting place. Some of you may not have heard of his passing and that's why I wanted to make this entry. He was very proud of his service and it was good to see some of his friends from the 300th at the funeral. Several years ago, dad helped organize the 50th reunion of the 300th. He also gave me a copy of Bill Day's book which is a cherished gift. My brother and I both served in HQ Btry 49th FA in Sheridan after getting out of the Army in the early 70's. It was good to see they have reorganized under the old 300th. I now live in Silverton, Oregon where I am Chief of Police. An interesting side note - I was born August 29, 1950 -- the morning of the day the unit boarded the troop train for Fort Lewis in preparation for shipping out to Korea. Mom and I moved to the North Fort several months later and remained at Fort Lewis until the unit shipped out.

300 AFAB

Comments: Following is from my Web Site taken from my Dairy kept while in Korea - Does anyone know of one of your trucks going off side of a mountain and if the driver was injured?

"Sunday June 10 I got in about 7:30 AM from hauling ammo all night. We do quite a bit of hauling at night just like we do during the day when we are firing. We were on one of the mountain passes I was telling you about earlier. A 6X6 hauling ammo for the 300 FAB went over the side of the cliff last night. It was pulling one of the little ammo trailers and it slipped off the road and pulled the truck with it. Quite a drop, I would estimate 2 or 300 feet to the valley below. Don't know if anyone was hurt or not. We had to move on and the MP's were there and they could take care of it. Was not a good thing to witness. "

I am looking for information regarding his service in Korea and have been told that he was activated from Ohio and served with the 300th AFAB. He received the purple heart for having received burns while destroying an ammunition dump during a withdrawal. I remain a member of the USAF Reserves and any information would be most appreciated.
