30 Aug 1950 to 24 Aug 1951

Comments: I recently found some service records of my dad's. I am helping my son discover his grandfather through my dad's military service. My dad joined the army 6 Jan 1941 and retired 1 Jan 1966. He did not talk about Korea, I get the idea it was bad memories. One story that I know bits and pieces of is about being with his unit when all the other units pulled out and they were left behind the lines. I remember he said it was so cold and the only thing they had to eat was frozen peanut butter. Sound familiar to anyone? I may have the stories mixed up. Can anyone help clear it up. My dad was called Rich sometimes, short for Richardson. His name was Tom Richardson from Carrollton, Mississippi. He died 26 July 1982.

bn insignia

Comments: the 99th Battalion had an insignia of a norman shield, triangularish in shape, with a red background and a frontal view of a mule's head. I need to know what the color of the mule's head was and what color the outline of it was. I am making my Father a commemorative jacket for his time in Korea. He was in Baker Battery, but I don't know what his unit was. I also know he was out of the Madison Minnesota National Guard. I'd also like to know how to find out what his service pins(?)i.e. the long narrow colored pins were. How can I find this out?

Just a thought for the web-master, I think it would be a great idea to have the insignias for the battalions on their home pages. I've searched the web with every possible phrase and cannot find the korean 99th mule head anywhere.

Comments: I am transcribing letters from my Uncle James Smale while he served in Japan. Korea and Viet Nam. One letter of February 7, 1949 mentions he was moved to Camp Weear. It is probably mis-spelled. Does anyone know what camp that would be?

Looking for friends of my dad

Comments: My name is Bob Kleekamp. My dad's name is also Bob Kleekamp. He trained at Ft. Hood before shipping off to Korea sometime in November of 1950. He was on a 105 with the 99th Field Artillery, "C" Battery, 1st Cavalry Division. Dad spent nearly 18 months in Korea during which time his unit crossed the 38th Parallel, he recalls fierce fighting near the Yalu River and the Imjin and remembers the battles fought against the Chineses as they entered the war to help the North Koreans. My dad just turned 74 years old last month. Just shortly after his birthday we found out that he has lung cancer. I was sitting with him today as he underwent his first chemo treatment and we started to talk about old friends. We got on the subject of the Korean War and he wondered if any of his old Army buddies were still around. This website looked like a great source of information so thus the reason for my e-mail. If anyone remembers my dad and can help us with adding some pieces to the puzzle of my dad's tour in Korean, it will be greatly appreciated. Please e-mail me at tklee@charter.net. Thank you for your time.

Best regards,

Bob Kleekamp, Jr.

A Battery, Kenneth Charles Hilgart, MIA 6/26/51

Comments: This is a re-posting of comments I made in December 2002. Email was incorrect.

I am looking for a story line for a remembrance paragraph in family history book for Kenneth Charles Hilgart, Battery A, 99th FAB, MIA 29 Jun 1951 (later MIA to KIA). Looking to verify that he was a member of Lt. Henry G. Murphy's 99th FAB FO crew located about 1000 meters west of Hill 202 in support of a Thai infantry battalion when enemy mortar killed both Lt Murphy and Cpl Hilgart. Supposedly Paul A Bleke (Pfc)was also a member of the FO crew (and also maybe others) and Bleke was wounded by mortar attack. Unverified information has it that Thai infantry moved the bodies of Murphy & Hilgart to a bunker on Hill 202 where they were buried when the Thai force had to evacuate the Hill 202. The bodies were later recovered after friendly forces re-occupied Hill 202. Can anyone verify this action or make a disclaimer of it. Also, where on a map would be Hill 202??

Thanks.

99 FAB Positions at Yongdong, July 1950

Comments: I am looking for anyone who might have location information about 99FAB positions during the July 1950 battle at Yongdong (this was where the 1st Cav first relieved the 24th Division, around 21 July). I travel to Yongdong about twice per year with Veterans, and will be going there this October with 1st Cav Vets. I'd like to research the 99th's positions for this trip, but won't have the time to make it to the Archives before leaving (I'm in California, Archives are in Maryland). Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Roy Montgomery
