Comments: My father is now 77 and is, for the first time, starting to talk about his Korean War experiences. I want to preserve, honor, and know as much as possible. For him, for me, and for his Grandson.

Please, if you can send any info on the 519 MP Battalion.... I'm not sure of the year... Maybe '53? 55? You have his name and DOB which should be helpful.... please, it's very important to me. My father is a veteran, during war time... the respect I feel for him can not be measured. Thanks, Linda Zerrer

unusual 519th helmet

Column_1_Spacer Column_2_Spacer
allen andrews wrote on 2008-05-22 04:02:08.0

Comments: I recently purchased an unusual helmet on ebay. I am very interested in artifacts from the Korean War. This helmet is beautifully marked with red/white stripe, a decal of the unit, the numbers of the unit and the large letters "MP" on the front. A bullet has struck the front, but indented deeply only (not penetrating). I was wondering what the circumstances might have been for being struck by an enemby bullet. I know that MP units worked up front. If anyone has speculation to share, I'd be interested in hearing from you. Allen Andrews (retired history teacher who admires your service)

Later we Moved to Hardy Barracks. The Bn Motor Pool was at the Tsukiji (?) fish market. I was a Corporal at the time. I first worked Patrol and then became a Desk Sgt. Then went to the Vice Squad (MSG Chagami, NCOIC). It was deactivated and I then went to AWOL Apprehension (SFC David Martin,NCOIC). I stayed with AWOL apprehension until the 519th was deactivated and became the 212 MP Co, assigned tothe 1st Cav. I wore the yellow scarf one day as I was getting on the boat to return to CONUS.
