Dad was in charge of the 3rd Platoon, and Captain Allen was Company Commander of Item (I) Company. Dad was given a Battlefield Commission around Oct. of 1950, and was wounded after Thanksgiving of 1950. He was treated and shipped to Japan to recover, where he stayed for about 1 year, and then back to the States. He is mentioned a number of times, including how he was wounded by the Chinese, in Donald Knox's book "The Korean War, An Oral History, Pusan To Chosin". Thank You, Wayne Nelson

    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

    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. Eric Smith
