LOOKING FOR KENNETH D. ALLEN

Comments: We used to play BlackJack all the time. In fact it was a good thing it was all in fun 'cause I won so much from Kenneth one night it would have taken him the REST of his life to pay me back! anxious to find out what happened to him. Also Floyd Tucker. He walked with a limp but I remember very little about him. I am having trouble with remembering anything about my Army stint. But if I could find Kenneth, I am hoping he can help fill in some of the blanks for/with me.

545th MP Co, Japan 56-57

Comments: When the Division left Korea and was returned to Japan each of the Regiments was assigned to a US Army Camp at different geographical locations throughout Japan. The 7th Cav was at Camp Otsu on the shores of Lake Biwa and about 15 miles/kilometers from Kyoto. Back then one of each of the 545th's Traffic Platoons were ASSIGNED to each of the Regiments to provide MP support for that particular Regiment. This was probably the best assignment that I ever had during my almost ten years on active duty. The 7th had two Posts, North Camp and South Camp as well a semi-seperate dependent housing area at the Hydroponic Farm that was used to grow most of our Commissary and mess hall fresh produce. While we had a medical dispensary all baby deliveries and seriously injured had to be ground transported and escorted (red lites & sirens) to the Osaka Army Hospital, which was about 40-45 kilometers away. The Regiment had it's own Jail in the PMO next to the desk sgts area. As I recall we had four cells, each with two bunks and honest-to-god steel bars and jail doors. Back then we ahd serious soldier-to-soldier assaults as well as off-post crimes where prer-trial confinement was mandated by the Regimental CO, a Colonel Pavkick (phonetic). I stayed with the Regiment at Camp Otsu and Camp Nara (part of the Division Artillery was there) until the Camp was being closed. I then transferred to Camp Miho in Totorri Prefecture to support ASA, and then at Camp Zama, HQs USARJ with the Post MP Detachment.
