USMC Reserves Denver CO, 155 Gun Battalion

Comments: On a Friday in 1950 between my Jr & Sr year at North Denver High School, I enlisted in the USMC Reserves, the 155 Gun Battalion at the Denver Federal Center. But, due to a lengthy physical, I was too late to be sworn in. I was told to return on Tues to be sworn in. On the Sunday between, the Korean War began and my mother burned my papers since I was just 17. As a result, with regret, I never served I would like to know more about the men that were in the unit and what became of them. I have been told that the unit suffered 75% KIA or wounded. My wife is an Air Force Veteran who served during the Korean War and is currently VP of the Denver Chapter of the KWVA.

Cornelli, William G.

Comments: I'm looking for anyone who may have served with my father, William (Bill or Nano) G. Cornelli. He was in the 1st Marine Division 11th Regiment. I'm not sure if he was a Sgt. or Ssgt. when he served during Korea. He had told me he also was an MP for some of his time. He served in WWII fighting in Okinawa, Peleliu and other Pacific battles. After his service he was stationed in Quantico until the early 60's.

Does anyone remember Master Sgt. Carl Greeson?

Comments: Seeking info about my father, MSgt. C.W. Greeson, who was wounded end of 1950 beginning of 1951. Would like to hear from any surviving friends of his as he passed away in 2000 and I have very little info about his stint in Korea. He also served in Tarawa/WWII (U.S. Colorado) if anyone remembers him from there as well. Don't know what unit/regiment he was in in either place. All I can find is letter from Headquarters, 11th Marines, 1st Marine Division, FMF. Served in Quantico subsequently as Sergent Major. I am trying to obtain his medal for Korea for my brother and I'm having a lot of difficulty figuring all this out. Thank you so much.

B-1-11

Comments: Hello, My name is Ira Martin. I've recently began the task of documenting my Grandfather, Donald Martin "Marty"s involvement in Korea. He arrived in Korea April 1951' He was promoted to sergeant upon arrival and commanded the 1st division 11th regiment 1st Battalion Baker Battery (Gun #4?) and served till the truce talks stalemate July 1952'. Its recently come to my attention He may have fired in support of E-2-5 and or G-3-5. He recieved 6 medals altogether not/inc the new unissued Rok medal. He has yet to receive it. He is interested in any serious contacts from baker battery and any forward observers he might have encountered. He's sad the names are gone from memory; Even then, most were nicknames never to be used again off the Peninsula. I've begun documenting his divisions movements during his service with what limited resources I can get. Any Information or Resources would be greatly appreciated and reciprocal if wanted. I've got a couple maps off the web and some random references to the Marines 11th Artillery in some actual diary like info and military docs. My Grandfather has some amazing stories and even more I'd like Help to unlock. My recent interest has already begun to get things going. If interested or know of my Grandfather please contact me imartin@nycap.rr.com for additional contact info. Any Information will be extremely appreciated. I look forward to a serious response. Sincerely, Ira L Martin

We unreeled close to 2 1/2 miles of wire in the wrong direction.-------I will finish this crazy story when this mail is received and returned by someone

Seeking Information

Comments: I am looking for information to assist in verifying details and /or provide "buddy statements", for my Dad in his case with VA.

My Dad's name is William (Bill) Raymond Carman. He was a Sergeant in Service Battery 1st Bn. 11th Marine Regiment. He was in country January 1951 to January 1952. He worked in one of the S-Shops, perhaps the S-4. His Sergeant Major was Robert Troust(sp) at the time. Sergeant Jim Graves, of Kansas City, MO. was also a member of this unit. Lt. John Darty (sp) of Los Angles, former HS football coach, was the OIC. In May/June thru August 1951 he and others were attached to an 8in Howitzer Battery.

I pulled this informtion from a tape my dad made in 1982. If there are any fellow Marines out there that knew my dad please contact me so I can get you and him connected.

Many, Many Thanks to all.

Bill Carman

Comments: I am a Desert Storm Marine looking for any one who may have served with or Knew Sgt. Clifford Dean Meece. In 1986 we had a house fire which destroyed all of my fathers uniforms,medals & pictures. Some real good ones of the prisoner exchange, the fire base, and buddies.I never knew why he would get mad when I would look into his cedar chest and at all his memories until I had my own chest opened up by someone other than myself. I guess that if I would've listened I never would have found his "Guidebook for Marines" and decided to follow in his footsteps. On a sad note, on May 19 2001, my father passed away from Pancreatic Cancer, gone is the best Marine I have ever known. I would like to say to all you Korean Marines that I surely will never forget you or the sacrifice you made & the proud history that you all have left for all Marines. "Semper Fi"
