JOED MILLER wrote on March 22, 2013 City and State: HAWAII VOLCANO PARK HI Unit: FATHERS UNIT 5TH RCT Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: Aloha- My father passed away in 2004. He retired as a Ltc. but in his dementia he told me a story that he had turned down a promotion to 1 star due to issues with his base commander at Ft. Dix. He also retired a full tour in the reserves after. But my question is in reference to his tour in Korea with the 5th RCT. As a child I would play with his medls and take them to school for show and tell. I know in the pile he had 2 Bronze stars, a silver star as well as a Purple heart. All of his medals disappeared after his passing and no one will own up to taking them so I applied at the VTRECS for copies. They sent me the list they had but told me it may be incomplete due to a huge fire that destroyed alot of veterans records including mine. Dad had told me only a few things about his service. One ofthem was being overrun by the North from the other side of the river and having alot od casualties all f which were his friends from Pvt to Officers. He told me only that he had recieved the heart but did not think he deserved it because he only got a trew and trew on his ass-cheek (upper thigh?) The Vtrecs tell me the only way to get his medals reissued and his actions gaining him 2 bronze stars keeping the com up and rearranging weapons to push back the enemy. Does ANYONE have information on the attack of the 17 & 18th of September attack on Waegwan during which the newspaper article I have states that my father personally directed the emplacement of heavy weaponry while under heavy trajectory fire. This was when my dad told me he took a round in his ass as he said. But of course he said it was nothing compared to the death all around him and as is stated in his letters to mom from Korea it was simply horrific. Without any corroberation however the VTRECS will not replace any medals he may have earned. Can anyone find a record of the men who were shot and killed inthat fateful battle? If so it would be of such great importance to me as well as my brother and sisters to be able to either find out that dad should indeed have the 2nd bronze as well as the P. Heart or not. Please with each passing day there are fewer survivers left of the battle if any are left but we are hoping to find someone who can verify that Captain Archibald S. Miller indeed took a round on the 17th or 18th in Waegwan. May God Bless you all for your service, Rev. Joed Miller Keywords: Captain Archibald S. Miller, Battle of Waegwan sept. 17th & 18th. KOrea

NELSON SULOUFF wrote on May 29, 2005 City and State: AZ Unit: HQ - HQ BTRY, 7TH DIVARTY Service or Relationship: ARMY VETERAN Comments: Will enjoy E-mail contact with other members of our Hq Btry. Each Army division in Korea rated a 2-star major general commanding, and each division had a 1-star brigadier general commanding its artillery headquarters. For the personnel in support of each division's artillery headquarters there was a headquarters battery attached, normally commanded by the rank of captain. I was Chief of Section for 7th Div Arty Intelligence (S-2), so was in a position at that time to learn quite a lot about the structure of the U. S. Divisions. I'll try to recall what I can and perhaps help with what you call "Order Of Battle." Each division normally had three infantry regiments, each regiment commanded by a full colonel. Each regiment had a field artillery battalion (FA Bn) attached for direct support. These direct support artillery battalions each had three artillery batteries (A, B, & C batteries) with four 105mm guns per battery. For the 7th Division, these 105mm gun battalions were the 31st FA Bn, 48th FA Bn, and 49th FA Bn. Each division also had a 155mm howitzer battalion with three batteries of four howitzers each to provide general support across the division's sector. For the 7th Div the 155mm howitzer battalion was the 57th FA Bn (Bob Hammond was in 'A' Battery of the 57th FA Bn, 7th DivArty). Keywords: Col. Wilhelmy, Major Rorick, Capt. Pontarelli, Lt.

JOHN R. CARPENTER wrote on July 5, 2002 City and State: LA MESA CA Unit: 7TH INF ART HQ TDY TO ROK CAPITOL DIV - IX CORP Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: COMMENTS: Subj: Korean War 1953 Bloody Ridge I am researching combat action between the dates of 20 June 1953 to about 27 July 1953 by an American Provisional AA Battery on Bloody Ridge. Bloody Ridge was then controlled by the ROK Capitol Division on the left flank of the Kumsong salient in the ROK IX Corp area during the last Chinese military offensive. PLEASE NOTE: This unit was under the direct control of 8th Army Command. This Provisional Anti-Aircraft (AA) Battery was in support of the ROK Capitol Division just behind the main line of resistance in a bunker complex near a small airfield being constructed. They were testing battlefield radar in conjunction with AA weapons for groundfire against expected enemy action. Provisions to keep the equipment and operators out of enemy hands if over run had been made. This group had come from Germany (most voluntered from the 26th Infantry Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division and were at Erlangen before they shipped out) to combat test the battlefield radar and had entered the line in Korea on 15 May 1953. During the ChinCom offensive, and for about 14 days they were surrounded. This group of 28 American and some 180-190 ROK troops held off or interdicted several enemy Divisions. Only 14 Americans and less than 100 ROK survived this bloody battle in the bunker complex. Cpl. (acting Sgt.) Richard L. Carpenter was given a battlefield promotion by radio to 2nd Lt. (and as a ROK Major) shortly after the group was isolated and cutoff on the third day after all above him were killed or seriously wounded. He rejected twice the enemy's offer of surrender and provided a forward communications to interdict enemy movement and resupply. Second Lt. Carpenter repeatedly rebuilt the automatic weapons knocked out of action from parts, maintained radio contact with 8th Army Command, provided interdiction information and helped keep most of the battlefield radar units operational for most of the battle. Even though wounded, he managed to maintain his position against several strong enemy attacks severely crippling enemy action and movement in the area along Bloody Ridge and the valley it overlooked. Only 14 of the 28 Americans survived after being reinforced by elements of the ROK 6th Infantry Division on the right flank then from elements of the 17th Regiment of the 7th Infantry Division from the left flank in the afternoon of 20 July 1953. This area was not secure until 24 June 1953. Because the battlefield radar was rated "Top Secret" and the end of the hostilities not much has been documented on this action. The radar units in combination with .50 calibre (12.7 mm) machine guns (later dismounted) and 40 mm anti aircraft guns (knocked out early) disrupted many of the enemy attacks while they were forming up and attacking at night. Radio contact and observation of the valley roads at night by radar allowed friendly artillery to concentrate on the enemy supply and logestic units. This severely hindered the major enemy push. Air drops of batteries, medicine and ammo helped maintain the position. The ChinCom wanted this position and the equipment it contained. They were attacked by Chinese field artillery and heavy artillery, bombed and straffed by Migs at least three times and assaulted by enemy ground troops repeatedly. Three offers of surrender were offered to the defenders. At least three major human wave attacks got close enough to engage in grenade and hand to hand combat. Artillery and automatic weapon fire aided by radar broke up most of the attacks before they could close. Richard Carpenter is my father and I am slowly documenting the actions of his unit by historical records. As a side note, my father also engaged in long range sniping at distances of up to 2,500 yards (2280 meters) which took out several Chineese officers including at least one high ranking officer who had six body guards. This was done with a 32x power rifle scope drilled and tapped into a .50 calibre (12.7 mm) machine gun that was fired single shot. Sincerely, John R.
