One of the many things that we have been learning about is the Korean War obviously because it is the major feature of Modern Korean History. And as crazy as this sounds MASH units were about the extent of my knowelege, and I just want to thank all of the men and women who often had to become supermen to do the work that they did. Without MASH units I believe that there would be far more graves from the war and that it is solely because of your efforts that some many made it home. I love learning as much as I can about the history of Korean, both pre- and post-war eras. If anyone would like to share their experiences, it would be great to hear from you again. Thanks again.

The two Army nurses, on the staff of the 8055th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital which is attached to the First Cavalry Division, have served continuously in frontline division sectors since the war began."

JUDAS M. RILEY-MARTINEZ wrote on February 6, 2003 CITY AND STATE: ST. AUGUSTINE FL UNIT: 8055 MASH (MOTHER) SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: Need info by March 1st, my mother's 83rd birthday!!!Please help me make my present. My mother, Capt Mary-Frances I. Haley was a Regular Army nurse anesthetist, from Philadelphia in the 8033 from 1950-51. I believe she transferred to Toyko General in 52. She was quite beautiful (curly black haired, green eyed) and vivacious. She married on R and R at the chapel at Tokyo General Hospital to Major John W. Riley, an Administrative Officer from the Med. Company 7th Calvary.FECOM, formerly with 118th Surgical Hospital FECOM. There are only only medical personnel names that I recall from childhood listening to the few stories my mother ever told (and can fit to a photo). A nurse, Fran Reynolds. Doctor/Lieutentant Cooley, who I believe may have been a dental surgeon, but that is not positive information, though he certainly was a physican.Another physican, who may have been a Light Col was named Easterday. Two commanders were a Col Gould, whose first name may be "purdue" (or that may be a nickname) and Hollerman, whose first name may be Jermiah. I also can identify a pilot, named Harvey Fulleflove (spelling uncertain), who used the name Harvey Fuller, was nicknamed "Speed" and was from Texas: I believe he ran medevac and supplies. I know he was Airforce; I am not sure if he was a helicopter pilot. I would very much like to find any of them and any others. I have quite a few photos of MASH, not just of the surgery, but of quirky and daily life which she took. She was a fatastic photographer. These pictures certainly put one clearly into a time, place, and experience. I would like to connect and gather more info as a present for her 83rd birthday, March 1st. I would appreciate memories about her from anyone who knew her, as well as information about her co-workers and friends, living or dead. Thanks for any help you can offer. I love my mother very much, and have always been very proud of her. Because of her example, I became an M.D. PhD, at a time when women in my field were still rather rare. Because of her example and yours, I have always endeavored to persist, regarless of obstacles. Wishing you well. Thanks.

BRIAN LAPHAM wrote on January 20, 2003 CITY AND STATE: PHOENIX AZ UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FRIEND OF VETERAN Comments: Greetings! I hope I'm not out of line here, but I'm trying to track something down. I'm trying to find out what the symbol is called that was on the door to the "swamp" tent from the M*A*S*H TV show and movie, which also shows up in a photo of Dr. Hornberger that was supposedly taken in front of a tent during the Korean conflict. To jog your collective memories, it is roughly a bow shaped image in red with the "arrow" pointed straight up. I'm curious to find out the origin of this symbol and its significance to the MASH units. Thank you for your time, Brian Lapham Phoeniz, AZ Keywords: Richard Hornberger 4077 swamp

JOE WOODY wrote on September 1, 2002 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: 43RD MASH SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: ARMY VETERAN - KOREA Comments: I was a general medical officer assigned to the 43rd MASH from July l959 to August 1960. At that time we had 2 general surgeons, an internist, 2 general medical officers and an on the job trained radiologist. The CO was Lt. Col. James Moffett and the medical service officer was Major Leon Loll. It was an interesting 13 months. I was unaware the 8055th was what later became the 43rd. Is there a book with the history of the 43rd available anywhere? Keywords:

CHUCK LARSON wrote on June 26, 2002 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: ARMY VETERAN - KOREA Comments: Son of a gun, I was at the 43rd MASH around 1973-74, it was cool to see some other postings from people around that time. I think the CO was Colonel Service. I remember Jim Keats, Joe Parise (who I ran into in San Francisco), Duensing, Snyder, Cathy Williams, and a few others. Would like to hear from anyone of that era.
