Comments: If any one remembers my Uncle George, also known as "GL" please reply - currently no known information exists as to what happened to him. My Aunt has never known to this day if he truly died in action - we're looking for closure. They were childhood sweethearts who married and he was shipped out shortly after their marriage. He served in the "31 INF RGT 7 INF DIV" was awarded the Purple Heart either during service or posthumously. He was reported MIA 12/12/1950, officially designated DIA 12/31/1953, and never heard from again. Since beginning this journey of investigation, I have learned that he most likely was at the Chosin Reservoir when he became MIA.

He is still alive and well, but it's hard to get a good picture of what role he played in combat. He doesn't much talk about what he did.

7th Infantry Division 31st Med. Co.

Comments: I landed in Korea on October 17, 1952 on my birthday. Left Korea in September of 1953. A black Captain took a small piece of shrapnel out of my top lip. I could have received a purple heart, but I refused because my wife would have received a letter saying I was wounded in action.

King Company Outpost: The whole company went up and to the best of my recollection only three of us walked away. When I returned from this battle I slept for four days.

I was the company barber in the medical company. Captain Pizzer paid me 20 bucks a hair cut. One of my best friends in Korea was Henry (a black man) I cut his hair and taught him to drive a deuce and a half.

Eugene Stanley went to the 25th division, I think, I still see him occasionally in Hinton, WV.

There were two sargents from Bluefield, WV. whose names I don't remember. I went deer hunting with one of them during Christmas of 1952 in the reserve area. Platoon leader was Lt. Moore and he took us out for training in mid-calf deep snow.

Ernest Tubb, Bill Monroe, Roy Acuff, Piper Lorie came to entertain the troops. We were on line and got relieved to see Ernest Tubb.
