Shine from Maryland. James had written that Glenny was assigned to his platoon, and was killed by enemy mortar while he was carrying a wounded soldier to safety. James was also carrying a wounded man but was far enough in front of Glenny that he was not fatally injured by the blast. James wrote that Glenny had been injured prior to picking up the wounded solider, and was out of medical supplies. My mother, brother, and I are faithfully searching for anything we can find about Glenny's life and death in Korea. We have been captivated by his story and the depth of love we see for him in those who knew him. We want to share his story with the children who follow us to ensure his memory stays alive in our family as completely as possible. A critical piece of information we are missing in finding out more about his last days is the platoon to which he was assigned. So if you are or know James F.
