Comments: Hi everyone - I'm doing some reasearch for my Dad (now 70 yrs old)- who was in Korea during the years of 1950-1951. He was discharged as Cpl. and his name is Joseph Bulluss. My Dad told me a story the other day regarding a little boy (at the time, Age 11) from a village in Taegu. Both his parents had been killed and he had no family members. He was my dad's shadow while he was there and Dad mentioned that little kid saw many of the battles he did and stuck by him. He safely delivered him back to his village in 1951 when he had turned 12. My Dad called him Skoshi Joe "Little Joe" after himself. His Korean name is Paksan. Not sure of how I can go about finding this person for him but he really would love to know what ever happened to his little friend (who is now in his 60's). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Editor's Forward

Tony Zdanavage played a significant role, among veterans, in helping to create the Korean War Veterans Memorial.
He wrote and self-published a book on his personal experiences during the war. He is now deceased and sorely missed.

E Battery

Editor Note:  In April of 1983, I received a letter from 
Tony Zdanavage, of Berwick, Pennsylvania. It read: 

Dear Hal, 

I saw your request in the DAV magazine of April. 

I was with the 2nd Division and attached as a medic to the 37th Field 
Artillery E Battery, during the Big Road Block in late 
November and December of 1950. I was wounded then and taken prisoner
for a period of time. I had my feet frozen when the Chinese took my
boots. 

My problem is, I don't know how long I was a prisoner, how I returned 
to our lines and anything else. I don't remember leaving Korea, Japan, 
or San Francisco or how I traveled home for over 3,000 miles until I
was hitchhiking the last seven miles home. 

My mind opened up at that point, but I don't even remember arriving at 
my home.
 
I've had a rough time physically and mentally and am totally disabled. I
would like to find out if you know anyone who went through the
roadblock and anyone who was with the 37FAB. If I can help you with
anything, I will. 

Thanks. 

Tony Zdanavage

Nice job putting this site together.  Sure would like to see some 
information on the 37th Field Artillary, 2nd Infantry Division.

I served in Korea from Sept. 1951 to Sept. 1952 (with 3 months in 
Japan in the hospital).  

I do not have an e-mail address but can be reached through

I was with the 37th FA Bn which supported the 23 Inf when it was on line.

It was part of the 2nd Infantry Division Artillery.  We were truck drawn 
105 mm howitzers.  I spent most of my time as a Forward Observer with 
the French Battallion which was attached to the 23d.  I never spent 
time as an FO with a 23d Infantry original unit. 

When the 2d Division was in Reserve we supported ROK units.  I was 
there from Jan 1952 till Mar 1953.  

Ed note: Mr. Brumback sent in the photo of 1st Lt.
Luke Lefevre, 37th FAB, featured top of page.

Hoppy: Just read your note on the battle there in Feb.  I was there as
well with the 37th FA. Bn.  Since I was not on the gun crews, I was
assigned to an infantry co but I don't recall which one.  It was just a
hundred yards or so from our guns.  That was one hell of a battle that
took place during those three or four days.  

I had just turned eighteen and don't remember names but I can still
picture the carnage that took place there, and the sight of all the
tracers across the night sky.  Like you said, It was beautiful but very
deadly.  It sure was great to see the tanks of the First Cav. coming in
the distance.  I spent fourteen months there with the 2nd. Inf. Div. and
left in Oct. 51.  It sure was nice to get back home intact.
