Comments: My Dad, Sgt Jack Borzillo served in Korea '51='53
(approx) with the 822nd. I have few pictures of him
from his service time my favorite one is of him
standing beneath a sign that reads: Company A 822nd
EAB You are leaving the Best company in the Best
battalion in Korea Good Bye! I believe it was taken
the day he got his orders to head home. I would love to
hear from any one who might remember him or who served
in that unit in 51-53. Thank you all for your service
to our country and God Bless!

SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER

Comments: My father is Nathan Alpert, he served in the Korean War from approximately 1951-1953. He was stationed in Taegue, Korea and was part of the Engineers. I believe he was part of the 822nd. My family and I are looking for anyone who can give us any information, pictures, etc...

We have tried to get information from the Veterans Records, but due to a fire in the early 1970's all records were destroyed or lost for vets with the last names A through M.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER

Comments: Dear Forum,

I am currently at work in Seoul for the next 5 months and trying to find
one of my father's Korean War Army friends, Choe Ik Song (Mr. Song).
My father was stationed 822 EAB w/SCARWAF in Pusan where Mr. Song
was also stationed.

I have Mr. Song's mailing address from 1951:

CHOE IK SONG (looks like he wrote Sang, but then made the 'a' into an
'o')
Ro Pyung Goo
59 Sasottum
Oochuguk
Pusan, Korea

My father passed away last year so many of the good stories are not at
my finger tips. If any one has any information on Mr. Song, please let
me know as it would be such a blessing to find this man and reunite
him with old pictures.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Most Sincerely,
Jamie

BRIEF HISTORY OF 822ND ENGINEER AVIATION BATTALION
EARL TUTT LAMBERT wrote on April 13, 2008


CITY AND STATE: LOVELAND OH

UNIT: CO. C, 822ND EAB

SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: ARMY VETERAN

Comments: I am in the process of writing a brief history of the
822nd Enginer Aviation Battalion based on the diary of
Captain W.S. Bradshaw of Co. C. The daily entries
began on Okinawa when the unit was alerted for
deployment to Korea, dated 11 Jul 50. The diary
continues until Captain Bradshaw was exavuated to
Japan on 18 Sep 50 where he died of polio. An
unidentified soldier in H/S company continued the
diary until 22 Oct 51.

The diary was in the possession of Major John Herina,
a former C.O. of the battalion. He passed away in
2004 and his son, Marc Herina, loaned the keepsake to
me in hopes of producing a more concise history of the
unit.

A second source for the history is from the
recollections of former C Company platoon leader, Col.
John Munnelly who is assisting with the identification
of many former unit members. Lt. (then) Munnelly
served in the unit from 1950-1952 in C Company.

Any former member of the 822nd who has materials,
photos or memories that they wish to share with the
writer, please contact me at my email or phone: 513-
683-0027.

I was a Sgt. with C Company from Aug 51 to Aug 52.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Comments: My dad, Robert (Bob) Douglas Prather, was a Captain in the 822 Combat Engineers in Korea during the war.

He was from Georgetown, Kentucky and died of cancer in service at Fitz Simmons Army Hospital in Denver, Colorado, in 1955.

I'm sure you didn't know him, but he died when I was only 6. I am looking for links to possibly find out some of his army buddies to learn more about the dad I really never got to know before they are all gone.

Thanks for any help.

Comments: Hello, my name is Sandra Turbeville Harvey and my father Farrell Turbeville was in the 822 Engr. Bn. Co. C, in Taegu, Korea. This was in 1951 and 52 I think. I have been trying to find out what happened to some of the people he served with...one incident that happened was when they were grading a new road and came under fire...he ended up driving what he called a deuce and a half to pick up some wounded. One of which was a young black man that had been shot in the rear...but before they could reach safety he hit a land mine and the truck exploded...Dad said they both survived but while he was in the hospital before they sent him home he refused the medal they offered him saying "give it to someone really wounded." I would appreciate if anyone remembers this to send me an email or call...
Dad has had a stroke and although he can't remember day to day things he remembers his time over there...
Thanks Sandra
