Comments: I was the last Commanding Officer of the 86th Field Artillery Battery (Searchlight), part of IX Corps Artillery. The unit was deactivated in the fall of 1954 and was located in the vicinity of Kumwha in the Chorwon valley. I was a First Lieutenant when the Battery was deactivated. The 60-inch Searchlights along with associated equipment were turned over to the ROK Army.

Comments: While doing some research (OK, my memory isn't what it used to be) on the Korean War for an online scrapbook I'm putting together for my kids and grandkids, I ran across the mention of the searchlights used during the Korean War.
I remember those lights; you used to shine them on a Chinese hill in our sector at the end of what we called "Happy Valley". It was truly amazing as you lit up that hill better than daylight while forcing the Chinese to squint back into your searchlights.
If you like, you are welcome to take a look at some of these pictures those hills at the URL:
http://btainc.com/Korea/page_6.htm
to see if you recognize any of them. The pictures are scans of some personal slides I took while in Korea in 1952 and 1953.
If you know of a web site which talks about the searchlights, I'd be interested in getting the URL to add to the links in the scrapbook.
Thanks.
