Comments: I would like to thank the heros of the 43rd MASH who saved my brothers life during the Korean War. His name was Darrell Burns and he took a grenade while with a recon behind enemy lines. He received the Silver Star for his efforts to continue to treat the wounded while he was, himself, blown open in the gut from the grenade. My brother December 25, 2008 and will soon be buried in Arlington. I am proud of him. Korea was the beginning and end of many heros. Thanks to them all.

Comments: Since first posting in January, I've added many more pictures of Camp Mosier and its people back in 1972. I've also added photos of the 377th Air Ambulance Company's helicopters, the Korean countryside and people, etc. Cut and paste this link into your browser:

Since posting the pictures, I've tracked down a few people from that era: Gordon Gillespie, Mike Williams, Ricky D. Young, Tony Bosworth, and my replacement, Jim Kardatzky. Would enjoy hearing from others, especially Chong, Chun Sik; Cho, Hu Cha; and Jim Ricketts.

Comments: I arrived @ the 43rd in December 1967 after discharge from the 106th Gen Hosp. in Japan. I was with the 1st Infantry Div. in Vietnam and was wounded on October 17 67. I was still pretty weak and couldn't walk very well,so the 1st Sgt recommended that I work the main gate with the Korean civilians. I was there when they captured the USS Pueblo. I met a lot of good people, but can't remember any names. Came home in July 67.

unit information

I went to AOL and under "keyword" typed in 43rd MASH and found that the 
43rd was, as I remembered, just northwest of Uijongbu during the 1950's.  
The 121st was located near Seoul so I'm sure you came through the 43rd 
enroute to the 121st.  The information at the website also confirms that 
the TV series MASH was based on the 43rd.  It was closed out in 1997 as 
one of the four remaining MASH units in the U. S. Army. 

In 1955 I went to the 43rd along with my entire unit to have a chest x-ray.

It was one of those mandated "everyone will have one" things so one 
afternoon we rode  duce and a half's a few miles up to the 43rd, got the 
x-ray and returned home.  I have always thought that was the unit the TV 
series was based on and this confirms it.  Several of the original stars
of the show attended the closing ceremonies in 1997.
