Comments: Most of my fellow troops may be either dead or so old like me, that it kinda seems so odd to be trying to contact people with memories of that period. We were mostly assigned to relay teams and did not get to meet many people of the company. I was promoted to Cpl and sent to Mt Fuji, Japan on my own hitching all the way to Puson. Joined the 34 Inf Regt, 24 Inf Div and trained soldiers for deployment to Korea until I rotated to the states in the spring of 53. Retired as lSG on a Nike Hercules Missile Site Outside Pittsburg, Pa. Reside in a small town in Western Tennessee at this time. Hope to hear from someone that may have been there and done that during our time.

Keywords: I was l7 years old and was CW operator for the 3d SigCo,3d Inf Div. Went to a Radio Operator school in Suwan, Korea, near the Air Base. Left for the 3d Sig Co in Apr of 1951. Trained OJT and was assigned to a Belguim Brigade. Returned to the Sig Co and spent time in the Chorwon Valley. That was about 60 years ago and my memory is not so good about names. But I remember the country very well.

Comments: I'm searching for anybody who may have served with my father, Harold Bailey (Hal). He passed away on Christmas Eve this year at the age of 71. My family has been looking through his wonderful old leather Army photo album, and we were hoping to contact any buddies he may have served with. Dad never said much of this war - only that too many of his friends lost their lives over there. I'd love to chat with anybody who knew my Dad. He served in the army for 4 yrs. and 3 days. He spent one year, 2 months, and one day in Korea. He was honorably discharged on November 21, 1951. Thank you.

From: DanCarson@aol.com

I just found this Web page, just taking a first look, and I'm delighted.
I was with the 304th Signal Bat. 8th Army 
from Jan to Mar of 53, then with the 3rd Signal Co, 3rd Infantry 
Division  from April 53 to April 54.  

Rcvd Air Medal & Bronze Star. Will continue to explore the project 
and if I can help I'd like to.

I've also found an "OP Harry Survivors 
Association".  I took part in that battle,  and am going to contact 
them about membership.

"Just found this Web Page in the last week or so.  I was a member of the
3rd Signal Co, Photo Section, 3rd Infantry Division in Korea from
January 1953 to March 1954. Our 15 man unit and one officer made
photographs for reconnaisance purposes, as well as Public Information
Office photos to tell the Army's story of the War in Korea.  

Would appreciate hearing from any members of the 3rd Signal Co during
that period of time.  This outfit strung the wire, ran the radio
repairs, decoded classified messages, etc., etc.  In every way we did
our duty to support the men on the MLR and the OutPosts at the base of
the Iron Triangle.

Think of our Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.!!  That
wall is engraved with the images of US!!  We are the unknown troops, of
that forgotten war, who helped make it possible for the guys on the MLR
to slap the communists down.  Their first defeat in the cold war.  Let's
talk."

I served in Korea from 2/53 till 6/54. I was attached to the 3rd Signal
Co. but worked in the Division Command Post in the Division Signal
Office.

I started out as a clerk and ended up a Staff Sgt. as the NCO in Chg or
Section Chief. We lived at the Division Command Post but ate our meal
at 3rd Sig.Co. So, I never got to know a lot of the 3rd Sig. Co.
people.

I recall that the Co. comander of 3rd Sig co. was Capt. Pots. The
Division Signal Officer was Col. KIng and the Asst. Div. Sig. Officer
was Maj. Thomas Bently Pitts. I also worked with a Sgt. MacAdoo, Sgt
Tom Hay, a draftsman named Sullivan. Two jeep drivers, Jones and
Carlson.

Also another driver from Eustis, NE named Duane Hoeftle.  If you know
of any of these people I'd love hearing about them or from them. 

If anyone out there knew people, who worked in the DSO office please
contact me.  Please feel free to write me either via e-mail or regular
mail.
