808 EAB Battalion History

Comments: While we were on Okinawa I came onto a copy of the Battalion History. I was a draftsman in the S-3 Office at the time and read it through completely. The history covered the unit from its inception through Australia, New Guinea, all the way to Okinawa. It was a very interesting read. Does anyone anywhere know how to acquire a copy of it.

Okianwa Camp Bishigawa/Sansone

Comments: Am seeking 808th EAB personnel involved in the removal of the old Camp Bishigawa, Okinawa and the construction of a new camp that was named Camp Sansone (USA 1st SFG (Abn) sometime around 1962. The 623 AC&W Sq (USAF Air Defense Radar operations) were the first to occupy the camp in tents 1946 and remained there after Quonsets were built beginning in 1947. Our Sq departed for southern Okinawa in 1956 and the camp was occupied by the USMC until sometime in 1961-1963. We ahve been told that the camp was leveled and rebuilt by the 808th and occupied by the 1st SFG (Abn) for a number of years. Our Assn comrades that "grew up" there in those early years have a keen desire to learn of its fate over the years. I have just returned from a visit to that former camp and am trying to fill in the blanks about its history. We have an excellent relationship with the USMC that occupied the camp after our units departure, but have been unable to learn about the period after their presence. If any former 808th members can help fill in the blanks, we would greatly appreciate it.

Brother of Harvey Matz, 808th EAB SCARWAF

Comments: Would anyone know where he served in Korea? In his picture of him in uniform he has the Korean Service Ribbon with 3 battle stars and what I think is the Army Commendation Ribbon. Would anyone know the history of him earning them? Also would anyone know what patches where worn on the sleeves of those serving in Korea? He would never talk about Korea when he was still living, or if I asked about the ribbons he would just say that it was a long time ago and that he didn't remember.

Keywords: CPL Harvey Matz served with the 808th EAB SCARWAF at Kadena Air Base, Okinawa and in Korea, area unknown, from Feb. 1950 - Dec. 1951. He died in Madison, WI Oct. 16, 2003

808TH EAB KUNSAN/OKINAWA

Comments: Arrived at Kunsan AB April 1954. Was transferred to Okinawa in July 1954. Never got to find out how cold a Korean winter was. If it was colder than the one I spent at Fort Leonard Wood, this California boy might not have made it! Left Okinawa in August 1955. Worked at asphalt plant on K-8 and rock crushing plant on Kadena AFB.We lived in squad tents in Korea and quonset huts in Bisha Gawa. Would like to hear from others who served at that time.

Arthur G. Counselman - 808th EAB

Comments: Hello, I would like to hear from anyone who knew my dad, Arthur G. Counselman, during the time he was with the 808th in Korea. Daddy died March 19, 1997. He did not talk much about his service during WWII and Korea and I regret that I did not ask more questions. I know he was a mess steward and, from the names on his pictures from that time, some of his buddies were "Bourer", "Snodgrass", "Neale", and "Sawyer". What was he/his life like during his time in Korea? Thank you in advance -- Juanita Waley
