Comments: Three years ago today, Veterans Day, I wrote a message on this board looking for my uncle, MSG Robert Paul Bibb. Paul was an SFC, serving with C Co. when he was declared missing during the retreat from Taegu 7/20/50. His body was never found and the Army lost all personnel records in a fire in the early 70's. Any unit records that may have existed from that chaotic time have also been lost. I was able to find Billy Johnson who says that he served with Paul but was not with him at the end.

I did my combat time in Vietnam, also with the Army, and I know how confusing the situation can be and how the paperwork doesn't always catch up to what happened. But, I also know the bond that is created among veterans whose only protection was a thin cotton shirt and their buddy beside them. I am counting on that.

I know that the odds are slight, but I must try one more time to reach out and see if I can't find someone who stood with Paul on his last day.

Now that my mother, Paul's sister, is the last of her family it would mean a great deal to her, and to me, if we could find out what happened that day.

If anyone can help, please contact me.

Comments: I am searching for more information on my biological father, Charles Edward Fullwood, he was a Korean War Vet. I was lucky enough to have met him and know him for 3 1/2 years before he passed away in 1994. He belonged to the Co B, 3d Engr (C) Bn, APO 24 - on his discharge papers (which I have) it states this as his most significant duty. He was also in the Foriegn and/or Sea service for 1year 4months & 14 days. I would like to know what it consisted of if there were others with him or someone who may know. He was in the Army from May 8, 1953 when he enlisted in Ft. Leonard Wood MO until May 7, 1956. He did make SGT (T) on Oct 21, 1954. What does the (T) stand for..? I have requested a replacement of his medals to put with his flag & picture. I would love to hear if anyone knew him or if anyone may have pictures.

Comments: I'm tryincg to find any knowledge of my uncles during the "Korean Police Action" They were both killed during that war. (OOPS! "Conflict" right?) I'm 40 and named after LaWayne and would like to know more about him. I also have a 1st cousin somewhere in Japan (the son of one of them. Marriage was anulled because it wasn't approved by commander) and would like to have some contact with him. Our government (in it's infinite wisdom)disallowed his wife's benefits after his death on the grounds that the marriage wasn't approved by his commander. If you're out there Cuz, It wasn't my fault and I would love to meet you. Both were killed soon after shipping out to Korea from Japan in the early fifties. Any info anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!!!

Comments: Sirs, I would be greatful for any information regarding the events of 7/20/50 involving the 3rd Engineer Batt., particularly activity surrounding the participation of Pvt. Hayden Davenport. Pvt Davenport was KIA that day, and I am attempting to research info for an article. I served in the 7th Inf., 3rd Div. in Germany, in the early 60's. During that time I had several leaves in Amsterdam and Copenhagen, an hung out there with a buddy from the Canadian Black Watch Rgt., "Dave" Davenport. Dave told me that his older brother had been KIA in Korea while serving with the 3rd Eng. I noticed Hayden's name on the KIA list for Korea. I feel strongly that the individual soldier's ultimate sacrifice be noted and remembered, so as to put a face on the Korean War and give it meaning for future generations. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Paul Kelly

As a combat vetern of Vietnam myself I have always wondered what happened. Now that my mother, Paul's sister, is the last of her family it would mean a great deal to her if we could find out what happened that day. Or, if we could find someone who might remember Paul.

I'd like to know more about this "Korean War Project" page. My dad 
served as a combat engineer of the 3rd Eng. batallion, 24th Infantry US
Army and was wounded in action (Purple heart and all that). So I have
some interest in observing things.

I am a retired Msgt. USAF.  I am also a family genealogist and 
currently writing my memoirs to pass on to my grandchildren. I am 
looking for anyone who may have been with or near my best friend
when he got killed in Korea on 10 July 1950. The particulars are as 
follows.

NAME  Wayne O. Meyer,  PFC
Ser.No. 15412012
DOB     27 July 1931 Mansfield, Ohio
Member   Co. B, 3rd Engineers Combat Battalion 24th Inf. Div  

The information I have is that on. 10 July 1950,Wayne was driving a
2 1/2 ton truck loaded with demolition, in convoy returning to the CP
at Chochiwon when the convoy was straffed by friendly aircraft.
Wayne was hit and died instantly.

Other information I have is that CO. B lost two men on 10 July 1950,
1 killed and 1 missing. Can anyone help me find the truth.

Update: May 1998

Also I contacted the 24th Inf. Div through your page and got in touch 
with "Rudy & Vonnie" who put out the 24th's paper the "TARO LEAF."   

I sent them the same message I have on your 3rd Combat Engineers page.  
Yesterday I got a letter from a guy that was in the convoy with Wayne.

He actually saw the Sgt. take Wayne's body from the cab of the truck and
hide it in a culvert.  He helped off load the balance of the demolitions
while the truck was still smoldering.  The convoy was straffed by 
American F-80s which coincides with my own research.

Thanks for the good work

Good Site.  I was a member of the 3d Combat Engineer Bn, 24th Inf Div
from Dec 49 to Jun 51 and performed Engineer Reconnaissance Duties. 

Most of my section was killed or captured o/a 25 Nov 1950 about 25 miles
south of the Yalu River, Northwest part of North Korea.  Some surviving
members were Russell V. Pemberton Jr, T.C. Clark (Frewsburg NY) Donald
G. Hackford (Snoqualmie Falls WA).

We were not with the rest of the Section when they were ambushed but did
recon the area two days later with a reinforced Inf Plt of the 24th Inf
Div (Probably the 21st Inf Rgt)
