William Robert Starkey who was killed on Sept 19, 1950 during the fighting at the Naktong Bulge. My father, and his other siblings are now deceased. I was named after my uncle, but my father never spoke about my uncle much as he was deeply hurt by his death. According to my mother, he was like a father to my father, and were very close. Anyhow, I would appreciate any information about the battle that took place that day, or anyone who may have known him. I have read some information about the second battle of the Naktong Bulge, but it is vague. Regards, Robert Starkey Keywords: Naktong River, Naktong Bulge, Starkey, 1950

I am the Battalion Historian of the 1-72AR BN and I am on a quest for stories. If you served, or had a family member who served, with the unit at any point during its history (1943-present) I request that you visit: http://firsttank.org/contribute.aspx And contribute you or your family member's story about their experiences with the unit. The website is a project I have been working on, and hopefully will have completed within the next 12 months. It is being co-developed alongside a book which will be published and available for download off the website around the same time. The website only shows the unit's history during WWII for know, as I am still in the process of writing up the Korean War sections currently. I have information about many aspects of the unit's history, and its soldiers, and if requested I can dig into it and may be able to produce the information your would like to know. Please share your story, or your soldier's story, and save that history for posterity. And feel free to ask me question. I might be able to help. Thanks, 1LT Colin Marcum 1-72AR BN Historian Keywords: 72nd Tank Battalion, 717th Tank Battalion, 1st Tank Battalion 72nd Armored Regiment

Thank you for contacting me about your father in law. My father never spoke of the war other that just a few sentences so I am unsure if he knew your father in law. Yes, they were in the 72nd Tank at the same time, that much I know. I can only assume since there were only 139 men in Company B that he did in fact know him as well as SGT Stuczko. Ed Stuczko Jr has been a true blessing to me by sharing many photos of the camp they were in in the Chorwan province, a real hot bed during the war as well as the company roster. I hope you and your wife will have a lttle more peace knowing these men did their duty without complaint and we are very proud to call these men our fathers. Steve Blalock Son of Sgt 1st Class W.A.

ARNOLD BLECH wrote on December 24, 2005 CITY AND STATE: WESTBURY NY UNIT: 2ND DIV 72ND TANK B CO 3RD PLATOON SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: ARMY VETERAN Comments: On May 26, 1953 our 4th platoon was struck by Chinese shell fire killing 7 men and wounding (some very seriously) most of the other members of the platoon.I was with the 3rd platoon, which was dug in a couple of hundred yards away, and was sent with the company medic to assist them. We were not aware how badly they were hit until we got there, however the medic and I proceeded to load the wounded on to his litter jeep and some of the others in one of the tanks including two men on the back deck whose legs were severed (however I believe they survived) We then had two of the less badly wounded men drive the jeep and the tank to the aid station. I mounted the back deck and held on to the two wounded guys while we drove through the Chinese shellfire. I have always wondered what subsequently happened to the guys we helped especially the two fellows on the back deck of the tank. Any info would be appreciated. Keywords: Chorwon Valley
