Was in the 2nd Engineering Construction Group stationed in Yongdongpo Korea. The 84th Battalinon was one of our construction battalions. I was a surveyor, one of a group of about 6, who spent most of our time camped out on the south rim of the Imjin River doing preliminary surveying for the design and construction of bridges across the Imjin. The 84th was stationed in the area also doing the construction work. My last project was doing the preliminary survey for the X-Ray bridge site. I still have a copy of the original contour map we made. This job was done in November 1952, just before my tour was over. Keywords:

I served in the outfit in Korea from the summer of 1951 through the summer of 1952. A couple of nicknames I remember are "Moose" from Cicero, IL; "Benny Binsack", "Pete" Peterson. We were all involved in the building of the Teal Bridge and the Freedom Gate Bridge as well as a lot of other stuff. Hello to all who read this and best wishes.
