    Comments: I'm looking for anyone that was in the battle of
    Kamyangjan-ni, Hill 312. my Grandfather was Captain
    James Conklin, a Company Commander at the time. I would
    like to hear from anyone that knew him, or served with
    him. He never spoke much of Korea, and I only found the
    Presidential Unit Citation and personal letter from the
    BN XO after he passed away.

    Thank you,

    This sounds as if it would be on the charts there; I know it has to be hard on the family.

    I lost a great-uncle on Okinawa but he was brought home and buried in the family cemetery after the war. It comforted the family just to know he was home.

    Hi again LeRoy, I had been looking for your e-mail address all over until I ran across this piece you wrote. I hope the address is still good. More than that though, it seems the last time we communicated, your wife was quite ill. I sure hope the both of you are still well and happy. I have thought of you quite often and I was just talking with another trooper from Co "A" the other day and he was with us on Hill 312. He sent me a picture of himself and me in that time frame as well as himself and two other soldiers. One of them was black and I think he was the one that joined us after he had been rejected by 2 or 3 other units because he was black and finally ended up with us. I do not recall his name but I think he was KIA on Hill 312. You may be able to enlighten me a little more on that. Anyway the other Trooper's name is "Bill Triplett" and currently lives in "Broken Arrow, OK".
    Looking forward to hearing from you. Dick Burton

    SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER

    Comments: My Uncle (Ronald Denney) served in the 5th Cavalry Fox Company during the Korean War. He was a advid picture taker and took many pictures while in Korea and Japan. I recently ran across his photo album and found pictures with names of some of the men he served with. I also have a picture of the "Home of the Famous 5th Cavalry Regiment" sign. I would be happy to share copies if anyone is interested.
    Names I have: Evans, Irish, Chrisholm, Bowlin, Hurst, Kvarnes, Ragassa, Garcia, Lopez, Medlock, Keith, McDaniels, Jacobson, Shankle, Hall, Gerrero, Wolfe, Larock, Cantrell, Dingman, Merrel, Geletka, Pilant, Fox, Olinger, Mitchell, Blue, Delorie, Jaggers, Faruya and Parker.
    He also took pictures of buildings, ships and local people. Please email me if you are interested. I am very proud of him and all the men and women he served with.

    Comments: Hi:

    I have been told this man is related to me thru my Grand Mother who was born in Hemphill (sp) Texas. According to this info, he was killed on 14 Sept 1950 and was a member of the 5th Cav of the 1st Cav. I do not see his name on your rolls.

    Was his unit designation an error or was he just not on your records? I am looking at my family military history and am very interested in my Texas military Roots.

    Do you look at WWI as well? Just curious.

    Best regards,

    Ron Dombrowski

    SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER

    Comments: My father, Robert D. Smith (probably went by Donald), was a medic attached to the 1st Cavalry Division, 5th Cavalry Regiment, King Company.

    He was severely wounded on October 7, 1951 by mortar fire while the unit was trying to take a rail head near Chiam-Ni,in an area called the iron triangle. Before leaving Korea for Japan he was told by his sergeant (he can't remember his name)
    that he was being recommended for the Bronze Star and saw the paperwork for it but never received it nor heard any more about it.

    I would appreciate any and all help you could provide either in finding out if in fact he should have received it or in pointing me in the right
    direction.

    My father is doing well and would like to hear from anyone he served with. You can reach him through my e-mail address.

    My sincere thanks.
