Evan Herring wrote on 2009-07-14 20:18:07.0
Comments: My father served as a Lieutenant and FAO in the 52nd Field Artillery Bn, 24th Division, in Korea from November 1950 to sometime in 1952. He passed away in 1984, after some years illness exacerbated by what we came to know as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, though of course, this wasn't even a diagnosis during much of his lifetime. I am writing to ask if any of his comrades in arms remember him, and can share with us some remembrances of my Dad in what was the most extraordinary period of his life. Whether the memories are flattering, inspiring, disparaging, or painful, we wish to know everything. We loved him, we always will love him, and we do not fear the truth of him, so please, if anyone remembers Lt. Jim Herring, please tell us this part of his story.

Comments: My father, Alfred Beasley (1SG, AUS Ret.) is still alive. He recently celebrated birthday #86! He lives just outside of Key Gate in Lawton, Oklahoma. I would like to hear from anyone that remembers "The BEAST". He was supply sergeant and later first sergeant of Svc Btry, 52nd FABn just before the outbreak of the Korean War. As I understand, he was the only combat veteran (WWII) in Svc Btry. My only independent memory was of Sunday morning, June 25, 1950 when the CQ of Svc Btry came into our house at Camp Hakata and yelled "Beasley, RED ALERT!" We were eating breakfast and my mother started crying. My father was gone in less than two minutes. Anyone remember? Let me know, please. Thank you.

Lacy Thrash wrote on 2004-11-14 04:06:55.0
Comments: I am entering this on behalf of Lacy Thrash, my stepfather. He enlisted in 3/51 and served in Japan and in Korea until 3/53. He was with the 24th Infantry Division, 52nd Field Artillery Battalion, Battery B. He served as a 105 mm howitzers cannoneer, fire direction and liaison director, and field wireman. He received the Armed Occupation Medal Japan, Korean Service Medal, 2 Bronze Stars and a United Nations Medal. Unfortunately, he can not recall why he received the Bronze Stars. He does speak frequently about the numbing cold, a fierce battle holding the line between Seoul and the Yalu River; volunteering for an especially hazardous duty laying wire; and 8 consecutive months on the 38th Parallel. Lacy is from the Houston, Texas area; and now lives outside Dallas. He was a short man with dark hair and very outgoing at that time. He is very proud of his time with the 24th overseas. And although he can not recall many of names of the men he was with, I know he would love to hear from anyone who served. I have listed my e-mail, and if you respond by email I will be certain to contact him immediately. Please indicate you are a Korean Vet in the subject line.
Thank you and God bless each of you for your selflessness in serving America. Sherry

His whereabouts are unknown from then until he was identified being located in "The Bean Camp" POW camp in early May 1951. In late May 1951 he was in "The Mining Camp" POW camp about 50 miles southeast of Pyongyang, North Korea. He died there in August 1951 and was buried by his Chinese captors in an unknown location. I am looking for any information about him during his time with Battery A or during his time of imprisonment.

The only information I have is as follows: The friend's last name is: Chalmers, but everyone called him "Smiley". He called Baltimore, Maryland home.
In 1951 he was in the 24th Division. In 1952 "Smiley" was in the 52nd Field Artillery and moved to Japan. My father was in the (51-52) Field Artillery Bat. 24th Division 52nd FAB.
Again, any help in trying to locate Mr. Chalmers is appreciated. My father will be attending the Korean War Memorial this summer. I'd like to be able to give him some news of the friend he lost contact with.

Casualty list 52 Field Artillery Bn
From: Hallahan96@Cox.net
Subject: (KIA, WIA, MIA, POW)
Dear Ted:
My first battalion commander in Korea, LtCol. M.O. Perry, asked me to
take over the task of battalion historian. One critical element of such
a unit history of course is the casualty list. Subject FA Bn was the
first in the Korean War and was part of Task Force Smith,
1st Battalion, 21st Infantry,24th Infantry Division) during those
terrible days of July 1950.
Lee Gladwin of the National Archives told me how to access the Korean
War Project for a casualty list of the 52 FA Bn, which I believe was
extracted from Record Group 407 of the National Archives. However when
I attempted to access that data base, a statement appeared the said the
owner's permission would be required. Would you please tell me how I
might obtain permission to obtain subject casualty list.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Robert F. Hallahan
Colonel, U.S. Army,Retired
---from the KWP----
We sent via ftp and mail the full KIA/MIA list of the 52nd FAB. Now
have the entire WIA list done as well.

My father served in Korea from 1950-52. He died in 1994 and never really
shared any stories with his children.
Im taking advantage of this technology to find out some of the battles
he fought in.
All I remember is that he talked alot about the 105 howitzer and he lost
his hearing in his right ear because one day they got an order to fire
200 rounds. After that his right ear was bleeding and there was no
hearing.
He also mentioned something about this enemy aircraft that would fly
over at night. I think he would refer to it as "Charlie???".
