LEROY W. GARDNER wrote on March 8, 2005 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: HQ ASAPAC, 326TH CRC SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: ARMY VETERAN - KOREA Comments: I think confusion exists about unit designations, in some of the messages I read. The 8610th AAU was at Kyoto (126th). Later this outfit was redesignated the 326th CRC and sent to Korea. We were located on route 3A, just North of Seoul. Uijongbu was about 15 miles north of the 326th, also on or near route 3A HQ ASAPAC had the designation - 8621st AAU, and it was located near Oji-cho, in Kita-ku, Tokyo. I served at HQ ASAPAC from Aug 1951 to Sep 1952, and at the 326th from Sep 1952 to Jun 1953. I was a DF plotter and evaluator. The 501st Hq was located in the city of Seoul, in the ruined building of a school, not in Uijongbu. Keywords:

While it took him years to tell my mother or any of us kids even the very basics of his service, he was always very proud to have served in the ASA. Indeed, last yeat, he finally started attending ASA reunions with his wife, Sheila, and really enjoyed himself.

DICK HARRIS wrote on January 22, 2004 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: ARMY VETERAN - KOREA Comments: Boy, am I embarrassed. I had the info. I have been trying to find right here. When I lived in Tokyo I bought some used books and also a set of old maps. They had been tucked away and overlooked, but I stumbled across them shortly ater posting my original message asking about the 1st Tokyo Arsenal. On my several trips to Oji to find it, I just never walked far enough from Oji station. Memeories fade and I remembered it being just a few blocks, but it is more than 1/2 mile from Oji sta., actually quite a bit closer to Jyujo sta. on the JR Saikyo line. Anyway, it is now the Rikujyou Jiaitai Jyujou Chi Tonchi or Ground Defense Forces Jyujou Base. The on-line map I use shows the buildings. I wonder if they are the original ones. I hope to find out in May when I really find it this time. Best regards, Dick Harris Keywords:

DICK HARRIS wrote on January 21, 2004 CITY AND STATE: PORTLAND OR UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: ARMY VETERAN - KOREA Comments: I arrived at the Tokyo Arsenal (we never heard it called "1st" or Oji Camp) in December, 1951. Then after a few days, on to the 326th, later 329th Comm. Recon. Co. near Yonchon. I was an Intercept Operator, MOS 3717? 1717? Anyway, since then I have visited Japan quite a few times and I lived in Tokyo from 1985 to 1994. I went to Oji several times trying to find the Arsenal with no success. I imagine it's long gone, replaced by hi-rise apartments. Nonetheless I still want to find the spot again when I go back next May. If anyone has a map showing where it was and can scan it and e-mail it to me, I will be grateful. I have current detailed maps of the area and there are good ones on line. Thanks and best regards Dick Harris Keywords:

SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: ARMY VETERAN - KOREA Comments: When I went from Korea to Japan, I went to the First Tokyo Arsenal and then to the 8610 AAU Fld. Sta. We were in Tokyo just a few days before going by train to Kyoto. This was in Aug. of 1951. While with the 8610 we won the 6 man football championship in our area. Great bunch of guys, especialy our quarterback, Pete Noonan. The teams in the area then combined to make up an 11 man team. We played in the All-Japan-All Star game in the First Kyoto Bowl. The Japanees won. It was still a great game and banquet afterwards. I played center and was beat up pretty much. We also had a baseball team. I was one of the pitchers. We practiced on a ball field around the corner from the barracks. I had a green jeep that had a metal top and doors. I sold it to one of the guys when I left. His wife was coming over, and he needed it. All I have to say is you all were a great bunch of buddies. I live in Wichita,Ks. and would like to hear from anyone that was over there. Keywords:
