Comments: James Webb served with the 92nd Searchlight Engineers in Korea in 1952. James was from Wayne County West Virgina. James filed a disability claim with the VA and has been informed that there are no records of his having been exposed to combat conditions. If there is someone who remembers James or combat actions in 1952 with this unit, it would be helpful to him. I am assisting James and his wife in searching for anyone who can help confirm his military experience in Korea.

be interested to know more about the company and would especially
love to hear from anyone who may have known my dad.


Keywords: He was in Korea on hill 1179 which was 27 miles from punchbowl
ridge. He looked on the map he has of Korea and he said
he was northeast of Bloody Ridge and Southeast of Heartbreak Ridge
overlooking the shooting gallery. I asked him what towns and he said
there were no towns there because they all got bombed out. He was
south of the DMZ zone about 3 blocks.
