Medical Company

Comments: I'm the son of a Korean WAR Vet. My dad talked of the 31st Inf. He was either a 1Lt or Capt. during his time in Korea. Some other things he talked about were, the Inchon Landing, Heartbreak Ridge, the Chosin Res.( the coldest he had ever been).One thing he mentioned that stuck with me was about a young soldier who for some reason my dad assigned to the chaplian, for safer duty. Later the soldier was killed when his jeep ran over a mine. I have here a book published by the Dept. of the Army. It's titled "Korea 1951-53". It was sold for $2.50 at the time. Inside it has a ton of pictures. Thanks for a great site and the time to inquire about my Dad.

Info on Jesse Rook Cooksey

Comments: I am trying to find out details about the events surrounding October 14, 1950. This is the day my Uncle Jesse Rook Cooksey was declared MIA under hostile conditions. I would also like to know more about his role, rank, any details anyone can give me. I do know that apparently he had been wounded in a previous battle and had just been released from medical care. My grandmother would never allow a funeral service of any kind because she said that as long as there was no body he might still be alive. Is there any evidence he was sent to a camp? Any information anyone has will be greatly appreciated.
