Comments: There was no greater unit than the old Bastard 55th MP Co which was a single Company attached to 8th Army in Seoul Korea during 1953/1954 with guys that you could entrust your lives with. Now that I am in the sunset of my life and look back to those years as a young soldier, I can truly say they were the best years of my life. God, how I wish I could go back in time to relive those years. If any one is still alive and who served during that period, please contact me.

A brief history of my military duty I served from 1946 To 1949 in the 88th Div in Italy.


When the Korean war started I was recalled from the inactive reserve and joined the 7th Div. Late Oct. 1950 and was hurt Mar. of 1951 I was then
classified as unfit for combat duty and was put in the 55th M. P. Co. It wasn't any part of the 7th Division just the 8th Army We did normal M P duty in Taegu and Seoul I was discharged in Sept of 1951
