Comments: Looking to see if anyone may have served with my dad during the Korean War. Name is Charles Kelly, was a corporal, drove a truck a lot.... but i have pictures of him on the radio and NEAR the gun as well. Hard to get info out of my dad but he recently said that he cant recall hardly any of the guys he served with (except for Charles Harvey who he is still in touch with a little). I think he was there around 52-54.

FERNANDO 'HARD LUCK' CORRAL |

Travis Whitehead wrote on 2004-06-25 13:09:30.0
Comments: Dear friends:
I am writing a book about a man named Fernando "Hard Luck" Corral who served in Charlie Company, 8th Field Artillery, 25th Infantry Division in Korea. He served there in 1951 and 1952 and saw action in Ch'orwan, the Iron Triangle, Punch Bowl, Mungdungni Valley, and Kumhwa Valley. I would like to have correspondence with anyone who knew Corral, the Mexican bullfighter who operated a 105mm howitzer. He got the nickname "Hard Luck" because of several bizarre incidents. One of these incidents occurred when, during heavy fighting, his hand got stuck in the howitzer. I would also like to know the approximate dates when his unit, Charlie Company, was in the Iron Triangle, the Punch Bowl, Mungdungni and Kumhwa valleys and in Ch'orwan, as well as any descriptions of the fighting and conditions there. Any assistance to me on this will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Travis M. Whitehead
