WILLIAM CAMPBELL wrote on August 16, 2009 CITY AND STATE: COLUMBIA SC UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: ARMY VETERAN 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 and 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. Keywords:

CHRISTINE BYERS wrote on February 15, 2007 CITY AND STATE: ST. LOUIS MO UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: OTHER 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. Keywords: Nicknames: "Gene" and "Sonny"
