My Uncle Robert Sabata served in 578th ECB CO. A

Comments: My Uncle, Robert Sabata Jr. served in the 578th Engineering Combat Battilion Company A from July 1952 until July 1953. I've been reading his letters home that he wrote to my grandmother while serving in Korea and am looking for any information that anyone might have out there on the 578th ECB during that time. Before being assigned to the 578th, he attended a radio school near Chunchon when he first arrived in Korea in April 1952.

seeking any info about John J. Black

Comments: Have recently acquired some insignia, medals, dog tags and picture of John J. Black. Among the items was the unofficial Bn. crest of the 578th. Am trying to find information about this soldier to better honor him and his service. The National Personnel Records Center says his file was destroyed in the 1973 fire, and could offer no help. Can anyone remember this man? Also seeking more info as to what this unit did during the War. Thank you, and thank you for your service!

Correction to Kenneth Camp's message

Comments: Re Kenneth Camp's statement that the 578th Combat Engineer Battalion was deployed from Japan to Korea in September of 1951, this is incorrect. We didn't arrive in Korea until shortly after New Year's Day, 1952, along with the rest of the 40th Division. I can personally attest to this sequnece of events, because I was a member of B Company from the fall of 1949 until I returned home in early July of 1952, after about five months on line in Korea.
