63rd FA Battalion at Camp Fuji

Fred Snell wrote on 2006-03-22 20:47:23.0

Comments: The 24th division including the above units were deactived in 1950 after suffering many causulties resulting from North Korean's invasion of South Korea in June of 1950.

When manpower became available it was re activited including the 34th regiment and the 63rd FA battalion. When President Truman issued the order to break up all segregated army units, the reactived 34th Regiment along with the 63rd FA Battalion was redisignated the 5th Regimental combat team and in August 1951 a new 34th regiment and 63rd FA battalion was established using cadre from the 24th division. It spent a year in training at South Camp Fuji. In the fall of 1952 it returned to Korea. That ends my knowledge of the history of this unit. I submit it thinking it might be of help to those of you looking for information or person's who served in the unit.

POW Died in Camp Johnson's List

Date: Thu, 08 Aug 1996
From: RGNN42a@prodigy.com
Sender: PRBond@gnn.com (P. Bond) 

Subject: Korean POW/MIA

I am trying to find anyone with information about my uncle, CPL 
John Philip Kendig, who was assigned to 24th Div, 63rd Field 
Artillery,Battery B, who was listed as mia on 14 July, 1950 near 
Sang Yo-Ri(?) 

He was later listed as dying of pneumonia on 5  January, 1951, in an 
unnamed POW camp.  He was from York, Pa., and I believe his id number is
RA13 301 429.  Where or how do I start looking for information.  My 
family would really like to know more, but information they got from the
army is sketchy. Any assistance or direction is appreciated.

Thank You, 

Philip Bond
