Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER

Comments: My name is Jeffrey Sweeney and I recently developed 16mm film that my grandfather had taken during his time in Korea. The filmed was packaged with his unit address which included the 539th QM LDRY Co. I read the above comments and Harley Bogart mentions replacing my grandfather as the motor pool sgt in Yong dong Po. Mr. Bogart's name is listed on a motorpool board that was in the footage. If anyone knows my grandfather or worked with him you might be included in the film. I am trying to identify anyone in the film and also looking for other soldiers that may have served with Lawrence "Bill" Sweeney.

Comments: Arrived Jan 1954. Was made company clerk and then later made supply sgt. Have often wondered what happened to Capt Jerome Marston, the company CO. He was a father figure to many of us young guys and a fine leader. Would enjoy hearing from old buddies.
