Day, who was killed at Chunchon on 30 March 1951. My uncle knew a Sgt. Day who was killed. Said Sgt. Day was from Virginia and his daddy was a preacher. My Uncle said "I saw Sgt. Day get blown up right in front of me. He stepped on a mine, gooks had planted a mortar, nose side up, on the road and had put a board on top top so it wouldn't be seen." Sgt. Day stepped on it and was killed. My uncle, Carl Bowers, said he really liked Sgt.Day, he was a real nice guy. Have seen a memorial posting by Terence Day for Harold D. Day, 1st Cavalry, 8th Engineers, C Company. Have found a Harold D. Day from Tazewell, Virginia, who was killed on 30 Mar. 1951. Terence Day listed his own residence as being Raleigh, NC.

JOE MODE wrote on January 9, 2007 City and State: KNOXVILLE TN Unit: N/A Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: Hoping to find more information or friends who may have served with my uncle, Carl Edward Bowers. Enlisted at the age of fifteen in Knoxville, Tenn. He joined the 82nd Airborne first. Started off hunting "Huks" or guerillas in the Phillipines. Swam in McArthur's pool. He went to Japan and joined up with the First Cavalry Division, 8th Engineers, C Company. He said that he lived on Mt. Fuji and retrieved the bodies of servicemen killed in plane crashes. Was wounded by a mortar round, was stabbed in the arm while in his foxhole, and was shot in the knee. Was at the Chosen Resevoir. Recalls a small airplane flying over (the resevoir) and someone on a loud speaker in the plane telling them it was every man for himself. Saw a Korean blow himself up in an attempt to disable a tank, which he did. Blew the tread off. Said when they were marching rice paddies would "come alive" with the Chinese, who would be hiding underwater, breathing through reeds. The Chinese would blow horns to "unnerve" them. Would blow a horn over here and then over there, then nothing....silence. The Chinese would attack in waves. The Chinese in front wave would be armed, but not the second wave. They would pick up the weapons of those who would be mowed down. Uncle Carl said he landed at Tai Bu Dong(sp) behind the Chinese and on to Kay Sohn(sp) Got hit hard at Tai Gu(sp) He was at the massacre at Guna-Re(sp. Related that their were refugees as far as you could see coming out of North Korea. They kept getting hit because the Chinese would mix in and dress like the Korean civilians. Said they stopped and old woman with a cow, which was loaded with bags. They searched the bags and found machine guns hidden under the bags. He said that he helped storm a hill. Someone with a "burp gun" was firing on them. A sniper he said. He kept hearing "pops", hit the deck and found that the pops were where bullets had been hitting his trench coat. Said the coat was full of holes and they knew when that gun "burped" you'd have 50-60 rounds coming at you. Uncle Carl said they "got the sucker" who was firing at them. When asked about a scar on his arm, Uncle Carl said one of the enemy jumped into a foxhole with him and cut his arm. I asked him what became of the enemy and he said "I choked the bastard." He said "They buried the gook later." Uncle Carl related how he was clearing mines once, someone yelled "medic", saw a guy go down. Pulled the guy into a ditch and looked around and realized that they were all alone. Couldn't get the guy out by himself because everyone had left. A U.S. tank came along and straddled the ditch. He thought the tank was going to put them out of their misery. The tank rolled over them and he was able to put the wounded man and himself into a hatch on the underside of the tank. Landed at Puson, was unloading rations, went over the cargo nets, into the landing crafts. He heard someone yelling, didn't pay attention to it. Finally someone yelled "Carl Bowers." It was Joe Carver from Knoxville. A moment later he saw Carver get hit. Said that Carver received a "million dollar wound" and was sent home. Uncle Carl was at Heartbreak Ridge and saw about thirty G.I.'s with their hands and feet tied with barbed wire, their heads were bashed in. Said he "borrowed" an artillery piece once. Stated they didn't really know how to use it, but aimed at a curve on a mountain road and proceeded to knock out the front and rear Russian-made tanks and then took care of the rest in the middle. Took a Russian-made pistol as a souvenir, but had to give it up in Japan. Was told to blow a train bridge after the last train out of North Korea came through. Said they waited and waited and was then told to get their asses out of there. They blew the bridge with the pieces nearly landing on them. He was shot through the knee, saying the bullet had entered above the knee and came out below the knee. Said that his Purple Heart was thrown on the litter as he was being carried away, but couldn't find out where it had gone. Stated that he was sent to Osaka, Japan to recover and then sent back to Korea. Also mentioned that he had received the Silver Star. I told Uncle Carl that our great great grandfather, Alexander Black of the 16th Georgia Infantry, (Confederate) had been shot in the knee at The Battle of The Wilderness. He replied saying "They must not like our knees." Uncle Carl Bowers is living in Florida now and I hope this will help in gaining him some recognition for his service in Korea. He cannot get his medals for some reason and surely deserves them.
