SHAYNE STANFIELD wrote on February 10, 2010 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: I am looking for anyone who may have served with my father Clyde Stanfield in Company C, 65th Combat Engineer Battalion, 25th Infantry Division during the Korean War in 1950. My father passed away in April of 2009 and for the first time within a year of his death he briefly spoke about the horrific details of being overrun by the Chinese and North Koreans at a northern position his unit was holding. This was the only time that I remember my father crying and it was evident that he was terribly shaken by describing the event as the only time that he truly feared for his life. I believe it was during the night and in the chaos of his unit being overtaken he and another man had to jump off what he described as a mountainside to escape. He didnt know if he would survive the fall but he remembered taking that chance as opposed to facing what he was witnessing as certain death. Many men were lost in this ordeal and it wasnt until the next day that my father found the remainder of our forces once again. Since my fathers passing, I have been researching Company C, 65th Combat Engineer Battalion, 25th Infantry Division during this time of the Korean War and I have found that they took significant losses when they were overrun at a position near Hill 222 which is south of the Kuryong River and east of the Camels Head bend. If anyone knew my father during his service or knows of this particular event, please contact me. Thank you.

SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: ARMY VETERAN Comments: I served with the 65th twice, my first assignment was being transferred from the 12th Engineers (airborne mech) 8th Division in Germany, in December 1971. The Battalion was being reorganized from Vietnam from the 76th Engineer Co. in Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. The duty was very good,,,,but the field duty was extreme...a lot of mud..and a lot of rain!!! That sort of thing seems to follow the engineers everywhere!! I finished my tour in March 1976 and transfered to the 326th Engineers (Air Assault) 101st Airborne at Ft. Campbell Ky. The duty there was pretty good...but returned back to Alpha Co., 65th in March of 1978, and stayed there until May of 1981. I had many very good experiences with the 65th!! I still have ties with some local people in Hawaii. I would never want to change that part of my life!!! Keywords: First in, Last Out

RONALD REYNOLDS wrote on May 11, 2005 CITY AND STATE: LINDEN VA UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: Looking for info on our father he was in the 25th- 65th-Eng. H and S Co. Maint. I have a bunch of photo's of him and other unknown GI's with him. His name was Chester Talbert Reynolds nick name may have been " Chick " He was a sargeant. Not sure what rank sargeant helmet shows three stripes on top two on the bottom. Have a handful of pictures of an orphan child he said was raised by him and the rest of the guys, childs name was E Ping Yee Hee I believe. He never talked much about the war except just before he died. He said it was the coldest place he had ever been. Talked a little about the retreat from Chosin and the Pusan perimeter. Talked about a soldier named Fred Denney. I believe thats the correct spelling. Said if it wasn't for Fred I wouldn't be here today ? Any info or help would be great. Thanks from his son.
