Anyone Remember Lt. Robert Engelien, WIA

Comments: My father, Robert Engelien died in 1953 of injuries from being a POW in Korea for 18 months. I understand he was one of the first POWs captured. I was 4 when he died and of course do not know much about him. I would love to correspond with someone who might remember him. May God bless You.

Purple Heart

Comments: Like Steve Lasko, I too am in pursuit of getting my father his Purple Heart he earned during the Korean War. He was stationed with the 1st Cav vic, 5th Regt, E Co. when he was wounded and sent home to the hospital in San Francisco. I was just a child in 6th grade, but remember it well. While I went to school in SF, he was in and out of the hospital for a year. I have tried in vain with the Army Review Board and turned down twice because of lack of what they call "evidence." Most of his records were destroyed in the records fire in St Louis. But I did have two documents from the War Department telling about his injuries and that my mother had been notified he was being sent to SF. I am now in search of those who may have known my father (Sgt. Avis William Burris) and about his injury and who would be willing to write a letter to that fact that I can present to the Army Review Board. Nothing would serve me with greater honor than place the Purple Heart on his grave. Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

Lance M. Burris (vet)

To Steve: You can contact a MSG Richard R. Gallmeyer at msg1gal@aol.com who may be able to help you. He has supplied me with names of some who did serve in his company during 1950-51 who, hopefully, remember my father.

Looking for 1st Cavalry Div. Comp. M

Comments:

Keywords: I came across a newspaper article on my father when he was in Korea. The title was From Buddies to Babies... In the article it mentioned a book that was published and sent to the families of the soldiers. It is an official pictorial history of the 1st Cavalry Division's recent combat history. My Dad was Cpl. Lester C. Davis and 19 at the time--he was a tank driver with Company M of the division's 5th Cavallry Regiment. The time frame of the pic was after Sept. 1951 Is there anyone out there that would be able to help me find out where I could find this book if it still exists? It would mean alot to my family and I....thanks so much ...

James Alfred

Comments: I am seeking contact with anyone who may have known my brother, James Alfred "Billy" Weems, African American, b. circa 1937. From Maryland.

He probably served in the 5th Cav. May have received a dishonorable or general discharge.

He helped clean up the bones and body parts from Heartbreak Ridge after the battle--I was very young and do not remember most of his stories, although he told many.

I am seeking anyone who may have known or had contact with him no matter what the circumstances. I am also interested in the experiences of other men who served in the 5th Cav in Korea. Please contact me with an open mind and an open heart if you have any info whatsoever.
