Comments: I am looking for anyone who served with my father, Corporal James W. Newbrough, US 52 195 278, 1st Ordnance Company (DS), APO 20, United States Army from February 5, 1953 to January 31, 1955.

He was in the Korean War and I believe he was stationed near Yang-Gu, Korea. I also have a paper which lists his address at the time as the 518th Ord. Co. (DS), APO 20. I know he would appreciate finding out about some of his buddies, thank you.

Comments: Sgt. Billy F. Lockridge U.S. Army, 518th Ordinance Direct Support (518 ORD CO DS) Yangu, Korea, February 1953 - June 1954

My Father is a Korean War Veteran, and served during the above dates. When released from the Army, he returned to his home town of Centre, Alabama and never left! He returned from Korea (along with 3300 other lucky souls) on the USS Marine Serpent. It was a 30 day trip, and to this day, Dad doesn't care to ever leave the U.S. again. Especially not by boat.

He married Robbie Ann Daniel June 5, 1955, and retired from Inland Rome Papermill (Rome, GA) a few years back. He has two sons, Jason Lee Lockridge (married Janet Sanford) and Joel Daniel Lockridge (me, married Upali Dutta), and two grandchildren by Jason & Janet, Lindsey & Alec Joseph (A.J.), and one by Joel and Upali, Jessalyn Kiran Lockridge.

He has spoken many times of many people from the War. He would love to hear from any of his old friends. The email address will come to me -- I will gladly forward the information on to him!

Comments: I am looking for anyone who was in the 518th during WW-2 or anyone that has any info on the 518th. It was a equipment repair during WW-2. Any info at all will help. This was a group of J.I. Case factory workers that went to france/Germany between 1951 and 1954 I believe. Thanks very much for your time.
