Looking For Lt. John Martin

Lindsey Kennedy wrote on 2009-01-09 17:05:24.0

Comments: My grandfather, William C. Kennedy, was a Srgt. in the 38th Inf. Regt. Tank Company 2nd Division from 1952-1953. On the night before he was to rotate out, Lt. John Martin pulled up in a Jeep and asked for a volunteer. My grandfather volunteered to go with him to Outpost Harry. It was during the monsoon season and as they were on their way up the mountain, they were under constant enemy observation. As they made it to Outpost Harry, they came under heavy enemy fire for about 24 hours. Together, they narrowly made it out alive.

I have grown up hearing my grandfather's war stories and he has always, ALWAYS spoken of Lt. John Martin and how much he'd like to find him. It would mean the world to my Papaw if he was able to see or speak with this man again. I know that Lt. Martin was originally from Greenville, MS. He also served in the National Guard in the Dixie Division, Papaw says. If anyone has any information on him, please email me at LCK19@msstate.edu. Thanks so much!

He was a radio operator maybe with the 2ID. In some of this letters he mentions Wonju. He was from Mississippi. Trained in Fort Chaffee, Arkansas and Fort Hood, Texas. He was reported to have been buried in Korea, but later, in November of 1951 his body was returned to the US. Personal belongings were never returned to the family. My mother, his sister, after all these years, still does not have closure. Please if you have any info please let me know. Thanks

Comments: Can anyone from the Th Tank Co. help me get a closure on the spot where I received my ND wound. The Army has the date of Nov. Th in the area of So-mingdong. From the maps and my thoughts it could not have been on the Th, as the chinks had that area. I still think it was on the Th. The Th Tank Co was there. We were in a roadblock. It was just before dawn when I got wounded. The chinks were looking down on us and the road was blocked. That is when I got the hand grenade in my leg. I was put under a tank for protection until the roadblock was broken. I recall looking down the road behind me and saw a chink jump on one of the tanks, but did not get the hatch open. I just want to know where the roadblock was. I always thought it was the bad one in Kuniri, but the time does not seem right for that. Can anyone help that was there. I do know that the 23Rd Regt. was able to get out. It was every man for himself for awhile.

Comments: Hello, my name is SSG Daniel Marsh. I currently serve in 2nd ID as a NBC NCOIC. I am up in Camp Casey near Tongduchon.

All the NCOs recently visited the 2nd ID war museum. I knew that my grandfather served in the Korean War and found out that he used to be the CO of 38th Tank. His name was Henry Edward Bown (should have been a CPT at the time). I never had a chance to meet my grandfather. He passed away before I could meet him. My mother said that he was extremely quiet about korea but mentioned that at one time he and his outfit were in really bad shape behind enemy lines. I dont know if the BC is still around. In anycase I was wondering if anyone knows the BN, or BDE of the division then or where the unit is now. I think I want to try to get assigned there at that BDE level or in a BN if there is a slot available.

In anycase if anyone can provide me info I would appreciate it.
