tiger face on Ft Knox Pershing

Comments: Just had a conversation with Charley Lemons at Ft Knox Museum. He informs me that you donated the Pershing and requested the tiger markings. This was in response to my inquiry, stating that NO M-26 (or T-26E3) ever wore those markings. I can see your reason, but man, that has really stirred up a big hornet's nest on some heated debates about those Op Killer & Ripper markings. Some are using Ft Knox Pershing as "see, here's one". I served with Tk Co, 31st inf, 7th ID, then we switched to Co E 40th Armor in 1956 in Korea. The took away our 4th platoon and we became part of the 40th Armor. I have limited experience with the old Pershing, but was so happy to get the "new" M-46 and get rid of that damned old Ford V8 water cooled engine. Served many moons with M-46,47,48s and tested the M-60. Drove an M-41 for a while and played with easy 8 Shermans. Didn't get to Korea 'til 56, but still got shot at with everything, cuz nobody told Joe Chink and NKVA that the war was over. I work at Ft Jackson Museum as a volunteer, doing research, upkeep on our tanks etc, modelling-dioramas and guiding visitors. Wish we could find you an M-46. Like to get back in the drivers seat of one muself.

Search for recently discovered MIA's daughter

Comments: The body of Sgt. Francis Eugene Lindsay was recently discovered near Unsan, Korea along with seven of his fellow soldiers. I am writing a story on what this recent find means for his three surviving sisters, who have wondered what happened to him for 57 years. They plan to bury him on what would have been his 78th birthday June 7 at Arlington National Cemetery. Unfortunately they believe two other people, or at least one other person, should be there with them and have no idea how to find them. They know their brother married a woman named Doris Gibson Oct. 7, 1948. They have the marriage certificate. Shortly before he went missing, he told his oldest sister they had a daugther. She doesn't recall him giving a name of the child. The Army's investigation turned up no info on the wife or potential child. I'm trying to find any of his army buddies who may remember Sgt. Lindsay's talking about the woman or the child. His sisters said most of his friends died with him the night they were attacked on the night of Nov. 1 to 2, 1950. During the battle the eight soldiers who were discovered with him along with nearly 400 others from the 8th Cavalry Regiment were declared missing or killed in action. Anyone with any remote memory of Sgt. Lindsay mostly known as "Gene" would be helpful for my story. Please contact me at 314-954-8022 if you have any information on this soldier. He was born and raised in Esther, MO know known as Park Hills.

James R. (pee Wee) ADWELL

Comments: Looking for anyone who may have info on James R. Adwell, he served in Korea with 70th Tank Bn, 1stCav. I remember when the unit left Ft Knox, I was an 8 year old and I used to visit my uncle Pee Wee before the 70th left for Korea. He used to show me the tanks when I would visit him. I think that he was in a recon element in Korea for the 70th. I remember him telling about an orphan boy that they sort of adopted, he was called "Tommy Tanker" My uncle always wondered what happened to little "Tommy Tanker". Does anyone know? Pee Wee has passed on and I would like to hear from anyone who may knew him. Thank you, James D. Houck

Tanker's combat badge

Comments: I am looking for the badge that tank crews wore over their left shirt pocket. The badge was similar to the rifleman's badge but slightly smaller. I lost mine when I moved from Ft Hood,Texas to Los Angeles many years ago. I have had no luck finding one. The badge had the frontal face of a tank with crossed sabers. I have seen the pins that officers wore on their collars, but not the enlisted mans badge. Hope to hear from someone. Thanks. Henry Bent

To Ray from C Cozza

Comments: Thanks for the e mail! There was no number in the triangle, although there was something there, although impossible to make out. It was rounded and connected to one the sides of the triangle. He said that he never had it covered over. This tatoo was a secret until his death, and I feel the story has more to do with what happened there than the fact that this was his tank box. I never had the chance to find out. If you can help me I would be very grateful

Need 70th Tk Bn Platoon Commander

Comments: I am searching for the Lt who commanded the tanks supporting my assault on 'Old Baldy'. I led B Company in the assault on the ridgeline leading up to the objective, at 1430. We were ambushed, I was hit with three bullets in both shoulders and the left arm, walked back to my Lt friend at the tanks, could go no farther, and he jumped down, gave me a morphine shot in the left leg, and radioed for Korean laborers who littered back. Through my eight and one-half months on the front line, he supported me several times. I have forgotten his name, and would appreciate any help finding him.

He was at Fort Knox from March 53-Apr. 53 and then served in Korea.

Recently I saw the fine documentary on PBS about Korea and believe I saw him in some footage at a MASH unit during a purple heart ceremony.

I'd love to hear from anyone who knew him.
