Comments: I am a case manager for a gentleman who served in Korea with Army Ordinance. We are in the process of trying to obtain his DD214. He, unfortunately, cannot recollect the details of division, regiment, battalion, or company. He only knows that he was in Ordinance in the 1950s. Does anyone know of a good starting point where I might research this information?

Thank you, Kurt Strouse

555th Arty

Comments: My father served with the tripple nickle in Korea. He was deeply affected by his service with this unit and never told me why. Even after my multiple tours in RVN he would not say any more than "he was there, there was a Bug-out, but he got all his men and guns out."

I would like more information or to be directed to a source. Thanks JRB

Information needed

Comments: I am looking for any information to see if Charles Byron McKay served in Korea during the Korean War. There is no proof in Government records, but he says he served under a Col. Patterson. I just want to know as I am his wife and his family is telling me he is fabricating everything. If he did serve, then I think he should be able to get things cleared up. He also said he was a POW. Thank you for any help anyone can give me.

Info re: Fifth FA Group

Comments: Interesting to finally find out some information about this outfit. I served with HQ battery starting in January of 1953 and was with them for 15 months. I was a radio-telephone operator until the armistice and worked in the FSCC. The bunker contained the command personnel )Colonel Wheaton, I believe) and a small S-2 unit as well as the fire support coordination personnel. As I recall, there were three American battalions and 6 ROK firing units. We were "acting Corp artillery" for the 2nd ROK Corp. There was also a small medical unit, motor pool, aviation unit (L-19's) and a Korean liason. I was with the group when we made a hasty departure from the area in June of 53 when the Korean infantry was over run. Would love to hear from any one serving in either the HQ or the firing batteries at the time.

Comments: I'm looking for information on a PFC Wall. He served with my father John (Ski)Stefanski. I'm not sure if this is the right area for the unit my dad was in. I'm Air Force myself and just can't get the hang of Army structure. I do now the triple nickle was up higher on the hill where he was stationed. I'm not sure if the 5th was attached to the 555th or the other way around.

Hollis Alvin Thrash 55thFA

Comments: I'm looking for information on my dad, Hollis Alvin Thrash. He was in the 5fth FA. He had served in WWII in the Navy, but hadn't been in long enough when the war was over, so he was drafted for Korea. All I know is that he would use a radio to tell where to fire. He told me about this when I was young, so I'm sure he used very simplistic terms. Daddy was smallish with dark curly hair. He was from Texas. I really want to find out something about his time in Korea. I do know until he died he hated to stand in line and he blamed it on his time in the army. I've heard other vets say the same thing.

Hello Mr. Johnston, I just read your e-mail in the 5th Field Artillery Group section. I served in HQs & HQs Battery 5th FAGP from April-December 1952 as a wheel vehicle mechanic in the motor pool. I was with the main HQs of 5th FAGP about Kumhwa and the Kansas line which was about 15 miles north of the A-38 airfield at Hwachon.

The 5th Group consisted of several Korean Artillery Battalions and three American Battalions, the 987th AFAB, 8" Self Propelled (SP) Unit,176th AFAB, 105 mm SP Unit and a Unit I believe was the 147th AFAB, a 155 SP Unit.

The 5th FAGP's mission when I was assigned to it was to train the Korean Artillery Units. We had over 20 officers in HQs Btry that did the training. I helped keep their Jeeps operating.

All of these Units(I mentioned above,) caught Hell in May and June 1953 when just before the Armistice the CCF made a push to straighten out the line and to let President Sygman Ree know that releasing those prisoners was not appreciated. The Korean Infantry broke, thus opening up holes in the MLR losing about a mile or so in the May push and about 2 1/2 miles in the June push. The drive finally was stopped at the Kumsong River. Because of the CCF drive and the MLR moving south, my old HQs Unit relocated south near the airfield where you served. I was back in the States when this happened,

In the Korean War Project, read the 176th AFAB page. This will tell you some more about the CCF drives and how some of the 5th FAGP Units responded.

I've been in contact with Lawrence Gilbert who was an aircraft mechanic in the 5th FAGP's Aviation Unit where you were attached and also some of the guys in 176th and other Units.

I turned 70 last July.myself. This was all a long time age, 48 years for me. This June 25, 2000 is the 50th anniversary of the start of the Korean War.

I've also been writing up my experiences in Korea. When you work at it all come back. My children don't care much about what Dad did in Korea, but maybe the grandchildren or generations unborn will be interested.

Nice reading your message. Write me back as you have time. Lawrence mentioned to me a little about the intelligence activity at the airfield. At the main headquarters we never knew anything about that.

Regards,

Curtis McDaniel Memphis, TN

5th Field Artillery Group

Comments: The letter from Mr. Gilbert really suprised me as that was the first time since the Korean war that any mention of the 5th. F. A. Group has ever been seen by me. I was attached to the organization from the 4th Military Intelligence Co. in Japan, to gather intelligence. At first I was assigned to hq., 5th group, then to one of the Field Artillery Battalions. I also flew in the H-19 on some missions and also the L-17 and 19's. Of all the books about the Korean war I have read, I never heard or saw the 5th Group mentioned. I don't remember any of the designations of the battalions but I think the 555th. (Triple Nickle) was one of them. Of course they were overrun and lost many men during the time I was there. The longer it gets from the time I was in Korea, the more I can't remember. I'm close to 70 years old now and it ain't getting any better. I wish you the best of luck in writing a book.At least your grandchildren will know something about it.

Sincerely yours,

Malcolm N. Johnston
