Remember My Father?

Comments: Looking for men who served with my Dad, Fred DeVore Jr. I believe he was with the 623rd. in Korea from July 52 thru July 53. I believe he was tasked with some FO duties toward the end of his tour. Dad didn't talk much about his service and passed away in 1971. I think I have access to numerous pictures, maps, etc. from that time if you served with him. Thank you.

Searching for Former Members

Comments: Served as Personnel Management Spec in Personnel Section of Headquarters Battery from 21 Aug 52 to 6 June 53. Ranks Cpl(E4) to SFC (E6). Worked with Sgt Ramond Hurley and SFC David Baublitz. We provided artillery support for 1st Marine Division in the Munsan-ne area for the attacks on Reno and Vegas Hills, receiving the Naval Presidentual Citation. Then transferred to the Punch Bowl where we supported the 7th Inf Div. I left this area in June 1953. I was the first Regular Army replacement in the 623rd which was a Kentucky National Guard organization. I believe Headquarters Battery was from Glascow, KY. Hope there still some 623rd Vets out there to contact me. Having been in Personnel I may know some of the people. After all, I was the Battalion Personnel Sgt.

623rd FA BN, A Battery

Comments: I was a Korean civilian in A Battery, commanded by Captain Pace. In the summer of 1952, ROK 7th Division initiated an offensive operation, and I vlunteered to go with the forward observer team attached to a ROK Battalion. We marched all day and, in late afternoon, we forded a river. The Chinese Force gave us a substantial mortar barage and everybody hopped through the river like rabbits, and climbed into a hill. I had an attack of leg cramp and had no choice but to stay in the water, being left behind. After the barage, I hobbled out of the water, and tried to scale the hill on on leg. A young forwaard observer, a young RA Lieutenant, put me on his back and carried me piggy-back up the hill. ROKs were very impressed by the compassionate act. Some serenaded us by singing "My Old Kentucky Home."

Time has gone by and I am getting old, and I do not even remember his name. I think the name of the radio operator was "Wilson." I never thanked him, and it has been bugging me.

Wherever he may be today, I would like to say "thank you" to him. Without him, I could have been left behind somewhere in that valley They cancelled the operation next day, and we came back in one piece.

Thank you, Lieutenant!

Suchoon Mo, Ph.D. Former First Lieutenant, Armor, ROK Army.
