PFC Edward Sinkler (45th ID)

Comments: My uncle who I never met (Father's Brother) was killed in action as an Infantryman in 1953 with the 45th Infantry Division. His name is PFC Edward Sinkler of Sumpter, SC. My aunt Sallie still talks about him. It seems he was a great man with high morale values. He had a tough time as a Negro in the south and in the US Army at the time. Unfortunately, he was not married not did he have any children. Records state that he was born in 1930 which made him 23 at time of death but my aunt swears he was 16 years old at time of death. Supposedly, he easily forged his date of birth to serve his country which was seemingly easy to do during those times and especially for a negro. I hope he received the right recognition.

Keywords: I am an officer currently serving on active duty in the US Army. I served as a Tank Platoon Leader in Desert Shield/Storm, an operations officer in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, and a logistics officer during Operations Iraq Freedom.

189th Field Artillery, Enid, Oklahoma

Comments: My father, Carroll F. Cox, was a corporal and a radio man for this unit in the 45th Infantry Division in Korea. I am looking for any information regarding the posts in Korea, battles, unit commanders, with dates and places. I know his C.O. was O.T. Autry, and his buddies names are A.P. Tindall, (not sure of the spelling), Gene Smith, and Ivan Kutz. My father has since passed away, and I am not sure if any of these guys are still around but any information would be helpful. Anyone who may have known my dad would be welcome to respond. I am attempting to create a family history with this information for my kids and it would be great to hear from some of his old friends.

I am also a veteran of the Vietnam conflict and this project is my way of paying tribute to my dad and his comrades in arms.

Steve Cox

Willis J. Wines (Combat Engineers)

Comments: Seeking any info on my Dad.Who passed away in 1995 of cancer. Dad never talked about Korea unless it was something funny or interesting. Two months before he passed away i learned that he had been awarded the "Bronze Star". I have a photo of him and what appears to be a "unit" picture.That I would be willing to share with someone.Dad spoke of A scar he had on his chin that he got during a battle where he said his unit got "overran" and that he was one of 10, Left alive out of 60 men. Words can not expess how much i loved my father or how proud i am of him and his service to this GREAT NATION. Not a day goes by that I don't think about him or my Mom.
