Comments: Looking for any information about my father or his unit. He told me when I was younger that he went to Korea at the outset, spent time in Pusan Harbor training, was assigned to a Regimental Combat Team, spent a number of weeks surrounded by the enemy in the winter and had supplies air dropped in and ended up at the Yalu river.

His DD214 states he was with the 49th FA BN "C" Btry as a Cheif Artillery Survey Specialist. He received the Korean Service Medal with Silver Star. Was promoted to SGT in Aug 1950 and SFC in June 1951. He entered the Army in 1948 and served in Korea from June 1950 to October 1951, as far as I can tell.

He mentioned some things about being cutoff and surrounded for a number of weeks during the winter; and being part of a Regimental Combat Team; I think RCT 31. The problem is that as far as I can tell the 49th FA BN was not part of RCT 31 and may or may not have been involved in the Battle of Chosin Resevoir.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Comments: On my fathers DD214 it states

Section 4 Component and Branch or class:PA ARTY
I'm not quite sure what the PA is I can only assume ARTY is Artillery

Section 28 Most Significant Duty Assignment: Sv Btry 49th PA BN APO7

Again not sure what the PA is but Im assuming Service Battery 49th PA Battalion APO 7. I know APO 7 was Korea

His DD214 states his MOS was 3835 Supply so I not sure if it fits with being in artillery. Can anybody shed some light on this or point me in the right direction.

He was from Watsonville, CA; he was ROTC at Santa Clara Univ in CA, based at Ft. Sill, OK in the spring of 1951, and arrived in Korea in late July or early Aug, 1951. I've been told he had just learned that his wife was pregnant (with me) when he was killed

Any details or contacts would be most appreciated. His 2 granddaughers would love to know more about him than I can tell them.

Comments: My daughter just finished interviewing her Grandfather, Howard Thomas about his military career for a school report on Veterans Day. He was in the Able battery of the 49th Field Artillery Battalion in Korea from 1950-51.
He never spoke of Korea as I was growing up so I learned quite a bit too.
He has a type of yearbook of the 49th FA with names, pictures and a history of the battalion. Does anyone remember Roy or Ray Gleghorn from Bakersfield CA? He is the only name Dad ever mentioned, maybe because I was then traveling to Bakersfield.
Dad doesn't use computers but I would love to relay any messages you all might have.

Comments: My father was Executive Officer of Battery B which was over run by Chinese on or about Feb. 11, 1953. My dad recently passed away. He was wounded that night and I would like any information about the unit, my dad, or the history of Korean service of the unit.
