Comments: James Houston Watts Jr. from
Lincoln/Franklin County, Mississippi.

His boot camp buddy was Warren Cullen Waldrup (or
Waldrip or Waldrop)
from Memphis, Tenn. He passed a few years ago.

They had boot camp in Camp Roberts.

Dad was transferred to Camp Cook as a training
instructor for
the 44th Illinois National Guard for a year before
shipping out.

He arrived Korea Jan. 29, 1953.
7th Division
32nd Infantry
Company C

His duties were driving, mostly 2 and 1/2 for
personnel.

After the Peace Treaty was signed he was shipped out
Nov. 28, 1953 and arrived California Dec. 21st.

From there to Fort Smith Arkansas for muster out...

On arrival he received a three day pass, Christmas
leave.
He rode the santa clause express home for Christmas
and drove back to muster out before New Years day.


Thanks, Cullen

Comments: I am assisting my father James H. Watts US
ARMY.
He was drafted and completed basic training in
North Carolina. I was named for his buddy
Cullen Waldrop from Memphis, Tennessee. They rode
the troop train to Fort Ord right out of basic and
the train was stopped for supplies(?) early one
mornig when Cullen said he could see his mother's
house. ( He was not allowed to visit her)

On arrival at Fort Ord they were shipped north to
Washinton State to supervise training for the
Illinois Nat. Guard and back to Fort Ord for
overseas deployment. They arrived in Korea in
January 1953 in the 7th Infantry 31st or 32nd
Charlie Company. (Cullen passed away afew years
ago in Memphis after returning.

My dad saw service on Old Baldy and with the
quatermaster corps at Head Quarters after or
before combat duty. He only had a very few
days left when the so called peace treaty was
signed and his time accumulated slower requiring him
to be on the line till November 1953.

After shipping out he was assigned to a base in
Arkansas and rode the SANTA CLAUSE EXPRESS
train to be home for Christmas that year.

If anyone remembers him or was stationed there
from January to November 1953 please feel free
to contact me at an updated address.
I had posted a previous request but lost my
e-mail site. Dolly Sipprelle also has a post
and pictures worth checking out.

Comments: My uncle James W. Justice (JW to his friends) was likely killed in action on 12-2-1950 as a convoy tried to breakout and escape from being surrounded by Chinese forces at east side of Chosin Reservoir.

We think he was part of Task Force Faith, and survived extreme cold and overwhelming enemy forces for several days untill the breakout attempt.

He would likely have been gaurding the left flank of a convoy of trucks loaded with 500 wounded soldiers and led by Col. Don Faith at the time of his death.

His remains have never been found or identified like so many others on the east side of the frozen chosin.

Comments: Looking for anyone who may have served with my father. He passed in 2007. He had a major stroke in 1980 when I was only 10. My father carried a heavy load on his shoulders and I suspect that a lot of it came from his service. He never talked about it. Even if there is nobody out there that served with him, I would be very appreciative of the perspective of the war from anyone who served during that same time. Kermit was injured on 12-1-50, from my understanding he was shot trying to avoid being captured and had a severe back injury. He later recovered and went back in until he was honorably discharged in 52. I loved him very much and would appreciate anyone who could shed light on what those men and women endured. Thank you.

Comments: I am trying to see if I can locate anyone who might remember a William "Bill" Faulkner from the 32nd. I am a Marine Vet and Paramedic, Mr. Faulker is a patient that I have made a connection with and have begun to visit on my off days. We have a great time and even on is bad days he remembers only me as his "Marine Buddy" even when he can recall much else. He has trouble here and there and is only able to communicate to me that he was in the 32nd Inf and 7th Inf in Korea. I am assuming he means the 7th Inf Div and the 32 Inf Reg. His eyes light up everytime we speak about Korea and I would love to bring some history for him the next time I make a visit.

Here is the problem, his sons say he is a Marine but I can find no history of unit with the 32nd designation in the Marine Archives. The 7th Marine Reg was there but with no 32nd anything to be found elsewhere. If anyone might be able to help it would be greatly appreciated. We communicate mostly through short sentences and pointing so it can be tough to get focused in on the details. Regardless of him being a Marine or not he wants to talk anout it and I'd love to help him, he has become a good friend to me.

By the way, even though we have our communication issues, I went for a visit the other day and he was on the roof cleaning off the leaves, he had also cut the lawn 1 and 1/2 acres, here's the kicker we live in Florida and the Heat index was 108 that day.

Comments: My father, Roy Starnes from Illinois, is anxiously looking for any of the fine men he served with in Korea. My dad was a machine gunner, and for years he wouldn't speak of his time in the service, but in the past few years he has been looking back and wondering about where all of the men he fought with are. Still living? He doesn't remember many of the names because so many had nicknames, and sadly, so many he knew for such a short time. He was there at the Inchon landing on Sept 17th, fought at the Chosin Reservoir and in Seoul. The names he can remember are Robert Best, who he has a picture of sitting with him drinking a beer! Garland Taulbee is who he speeks of often. And Wayne Shaw, who he believes to be from Illinois. He speaks of a man they called "the old soldier" (Walter he believes was his first name) who died in combat. Major Jones was his company commander. IF any of this rings a bell for anyone out there, please e-mail me. My father is 79, and I am would love for him to be able to learn what became of the men he fought with. He hates that he can't remember more, but after many years of trying to forget it is very understandable. Thanks so much for the service you or your loved one has given to us all, and I hope to hear from someone who wants to reunite with an old soldier, even if it is just to be able to remember.

Email from Stephen Silvasy, Maj General to David
Apperson 3 July 2010

During the months of February and March of 1978,
Soldiers of B company, 1st Battalion, 32d Infantry
(Buccaneers) were manning Guard Posts (GPs) Collier and
Ouelette in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) along the
North (nK) and South (ROK) Korean border in the
vicinity of the jointly ROK/US manned Joint Security
Area (JSA) at Panmunjong.

During daylight hours Buccaneer Soldiers observed nK
activities to ensure the safety of ROK/US soldiers
working in the JSA. At night US Soldiers from Collier
and Ouelette conducted small unit (squad sized) ambush
patrols in the two kilometer area between the MDL and
the ROK southern boundary fence to interdict nK Ranger
Commando teams who were trying to infiltrate the DMZ.

David Apperson was a member of B Company and
participated in these operations in the bitter cold of
the Korean winter where below zero temperatures were
not uncommon.

David,
I can confirm that during the period of May 1977 and
February 1978, B Company, 1st Battalion, 32nd Infantry,
Third Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division did participate in
the following live ammunition combat missions.

Thunderbolt Mission and reaction force

DMZ duty on Guard Posts Collier and Ouellette and
conducting guard duty, observation post duty, and also
conducting combat patrols.

Special Munitions Security Mission

All of these missions are actual live ammunition and
security combat missions.

These missions are held in all types of weather from
extremely heat to sub zero weather.

And that you were a member of the Company during these
missions and were a participant.

Finally, I can certainly validate ( even though the
statement presented by a former Battalion Commander at
the time in question and ultimately retiring as a Major
General) needs no validation, the information provided
in his statement.

I assumed the duties of First Sergeant B Co, 1/32
Infantry in May 1977 and departed in Feb 1978 and I
ultimately retired as the Ninth Sergeant Major of the
Army, having served with Chief of Staff, Army General
Gordon R. Sullivan and Secretaries of the Army,
Michael P.W. Stone and Togo West in July 1995

I never got to meet him and My dad, Lyman (Gene) Botts was in the 187th Airborne in Korea never really would talk about him. If you knew him I would appreciate it if you could share a little about him. Thank you and God Bless all those who have served and defended this great country the United States of America.
