He lost a tooth during training camp, but details unknown. In his company F, Bruce was known as Abe because of his resemblance to Abe Lincoln. Bruce left for Korea March of 1951. The 279 infantry first went to the northern mountains of Japan for extensive training for 6 plus months, then on to Korea. The stories known to us are that his battalions were there for relief efforts and hit the front lines immediately, taking large causalities. Only 1-3 solders survived the early onslaught. No one else from the High Point local NC area survived. Bruce remained on front line combat from Korea Fall/Winter 1951 thru Early Winter 1952. He left Korea October 1952. Some 40-50 yrs later, Bruce received a letter from an old war buddy ????? thanking my father, Bruce for staying with him while he was injured and taking fire. Bruce stayed and ensured the safety of this soldier, while under fire waiting for the medic chopper. My dad suffers from Alzheimers.

Moved to the MLR on Christmas day in the snow. My platoon later brought in the first Chinese while on patrol -Sgt Rex terminated them so the general didn't get to question them. Someone cut the ears off several of the dead. Spent 41 days on the line before we got to get hot showers. I had a good group of men and I wonder where they all ended up in life. My first platoon Sgt Robert Pierce came to Corpus Christi a year or two ago to Bird Watch and called me so we had breakfast and a visit. My next platoon Sgt Leroy K Olson was also a fine soldier and Ive not heard from him since '52 when I was evacuated due to wounds. Our company came from Enid Oklahoma. I was assigned from a pool of officers who graduated fromTexas A$M University in June 1950 (when the war started) A month after I left the regiment was in a fierce fight on T-bone hill and many WIA and KIA. I would like to know how my men came through that. The only ones I've talked to were National Guardsmen and they were phased out just before the battle. If anyone knows somthing about that I'd appreciate hearing. Ive been to two reunions and those were great- I'm getting a little old to be going (81). The 45th is a great Division.

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.

DERRICK SINGLETON wrote on October 5, 2008 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: OTHER 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.
