CHERYL HENKE-WILLIAMS wrote on August 26, 2008 City and State: OCEANSIDE CA Unit: 40TH DIVISION Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: Hello, I am looking for information about my father, Richard J. Henke. I have a few facts, but he left our family when I was young and I never had further contact with him. Here is what I know: He was born in Missouri on Oct. 6, 1923 and died Oct. 10, 1983, supposedly under curious circumstances in Las Vegas. He joined the National Guard after he returned from WWII, the 40th Division. He was stationed at Camp Cook before he reported to duty in Korea. He came home on compassionate leave when my brother was born in 1951 and then had to return to Korea. I was told that he was responsible for loading bombs onto the planes and he saw so much devastation it affected him deeply. He had a very bad temper. I would love to know more about this person who was absent for most of my life. You can contact me at cherylwsd1@cox.net. Thank you! You all have my utmost respect for serving our country.

RICK JOHNSON wrote on July 18, 2008 City and State: TWENTYNINE PALMS CA Unit: Service or Relationship: COAST GUARD VETERAN Comments: All 40th Division personnel should know that California dedicated a monument to the 40th Division on 11/11/1928. The monument was located at Camp Kearney, California. Camp Kearney became NAS Miramar and is currently Marine Corp Air Station Miramar. I was interested in locating this memorial as my great grandfather was KIA during the Meuse Argonne Offensive (WW1) and I had family photos of my grandfather at the monument circa 1930. After exhaustive research, my father and I went to Miramar and located the site of the monument at the east end of the runway (see Panaramio on Google Earth for photo). My father located the plaque to the Monument in Los Alamitos, CA and the 40 ton rock that the plaque was affixed to, was located in Long Beach, CA. We are attempting to have the National Guard reassemble and restablish the monument at either Miramar or at their HQ in Los Alamitos. Soon, I will be placing photos of the rock and the plaque on Google Earth for all proud 40th Division soldiers to view. Keywords: 40th Division Monument, WW1 found!

Uht, died 9 Feb 1992. He was inducted into US Army 15 Nov 1950, Stoddard Co., MO. Recall him mentioning training at Ft. Gordon, ?GA. He attended The Signal School at Ft. Monmouth, NJ 16 Feb to 15 Jun 1951. He was assigned to 40th Signal Company, 40th Infantry Division. Believe he mentioned shipping out of Washington State for Korea. He served in Korea I assume from shortly after finishing Sig. School in June 1951 until shortly before separation 29 Oct 1952. Served 8 months and 13 days in Korea. He returned to Camp (Ft.) Carson, CO to separate. His rank was listed as Cpl (T), appointed 29 Nov 1951. He was born in LaBelle, MO, lived in Palmyra, MO, graduated from high school in Sikeston, MO., and lived in Dexter, MO at time of induction. After separation, he worked for Southwestern Bell Telephone for 33 years from which he retired. Looking for anyone who might have known my father in the signal company or in Korea, members of his unit. Also, interested in the history of the 40th Signal Company in Korea, it's mission, assignments, battles, etc. Don't know how dad's unit was further broken down into smaller unit. Dad didn't talk much of his military service and now that he is gone, I wish I'd asked more. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about his service in other ways. Thanks for any assistance. ruht@sheltonbbs.com Keywords: 40th Signal Company, 40th Infantry Division, Telephone Installer/Repairman

GORDON E. BRANDT wrote on November 14, 1999 City and State: LOS ALTOS CA Unit: 4OTH SIGNAL COMPANY Service or Relationship: ARMY VETERAN - KOREA Comments: I had joined the California National Guard in 1948 while still in high school. I went to Camp Cook, CA in September of 1950 when the 40th Division was called to active duty. I ended up as the NCO in charge of the Radio Relay Section of the 40th Signal Company. This happened not because I was qualified, but because I was one of the few people who knew anything about the equipment. When the division went to Japan in April of 1951 we traveled first by train to Fort Mason in San Francisco, by troop transport to Yokohama and, again, by train to Camp Schimmelphennig near Sendai, Japan. In January 1952 we shipped over to Korea going by train to Yokohama, troop transport to Inchon, Korea, train to Chosin, Korea and truck to replace the 24th Infantry Division. I served near the front until July of 1952 when I shipped home. Are there plans for any reunion in the coming year? Please let me know of any such plans.
