Name: William J Byrne
US ARMY 2nd ENG. SPEC. BRIGADE
532nd Boat + Shore Regiment
9/15/50 (INCHON LANDING) to 9/30/51 Returned to Japan

Current address:
William J. Byrne
137 Gladstone Ave
West Islip NY 11795

I would like to contact any members of the above unit and would like
more information on the Korean war project. I would also like any
information on the Hungnam Evacuation that was one of several
incidents in which my unit participated.

---more 5/29/96----

The 2nd Engineers Special Brigade was not part of the 2nd Division.
This unit was not attached to any Division, although it did operate
with other units wherever small boats, landing craft, (LCM's, Ducks),
were needed.I was in Company B which was the amphibous crafts
Company.

This Company was often divided to assist other units with amphibous
operations.
At the Han River crossing, about a dozen members of my
Company were detailed to the 5th Marine Regt,
ferrying tanks across the Han to attack Seoul and ferrying
ambulances back, until a pontoon bridge could be completed.

General Twitty was the Brigade Comander.

Comments: A picture of Thomas Thomure shows that he is wearing a unit patch - white 4 leaf clover on a red diamond background which I believe to be a 4th Army patch.

His DD214 shows medals Army Occupation, Japan, United Nations Service, and Korean Service w/1 bronze star. Also shown under MOST SIGNIFICANT DUTY ASSIGNMENT is Co.E 532d EBT and SR APO 38.

Would like to hear from anyone who served with Thomas or can give me information re: the unit he was in if that can be determined from the information I have provided.
