Comments: I am attempting to assemble a display on my Uncle
Richard Grokett, who served with the 58th Ordnance
Base Depot between 1946 and 1949 in the Philippines.
I've disovered very little information on this unit,
butt all I really need is the Division under which it
served during that time. I would appreciate any
response more than you know!
Thank you,
Joe Bowman

Comments: The 630th was among the most decorated Ammo Ordinance "All Negro" outfits of war in Korea. Was station in Japan when war broke out. I joined them at Suwon beachhead in early 1951. That year established Ammo supply points in Seoul,Korea and (Jejonbu?)Racial desegregation removed the 630th from miltary history. (Became the 636th Ord) Captain Holmes, our "Negro" commander was loved and respected by everyone. He was promoted to Major and I believe sent to Aberdeen.

Comments: My father, Elvin Dohnal, would like to make contact with some of his buddies. In particular, he remembers a Leo Dean from his unit at Inchon and a Richard or Robert Critchlow (not sure of the last name exactly) who was in Basic Training with him (and maybe at Aberdeen also?). Dad was in Basic at Camp Crowder, Missouri and then went to Aberdeen for his Ordinance training -- Basic in Feb-Mar 1952 and at Aberdeen April to July. Then on to Inchon until January 1954. The 58th was awarded a Meritorious Unit Commendation 10 June 1953 for service 1 Jul through 31 Dec 1952 for its service in connection with the following units (associated with the 83rd Ord Btn): HQ and HQ Det, 59th Ord Ammo Renovation Platoon, 65th Ord Ammo Co., 630th Ord Ammo Co., 696th Ord Ammo Co.

Anyone wishing to contact my father can send email to me at puny@mail.com and I'll send it on to him.
