Comments: Hi: Was a young 17 yr old when enlisted, got activated of Aug 7, 1950. In Augusta Maine. Capt. Hughes was our Commanding Officer. Was on the North train going to Cal. Southern train was involved in train wreck. Overseas on Gen M.C. Meigs Arrives in Sept., 51, returned home in April of "52". Forgot the Hill or Town where we were, but supporting the 1st Marine Air Wing, believe the Checkerboard Squadron, Ted Williams? Remember Col Mays getting killed as he went up in a plane or helo. Where does one get info. on the whereabout of units that served in Korea, I remember taking a train to Soul and Kimpo airbase supposedly got a star on my Korean ribbon for it. Do wish I could remember more. Found an old sketch on myself drawn by Jack Turner of Chicago, done at Onslow Beach in N.C. Remember going on R&R in Japan, and visited the Fighter Squadron at Kimpo Airbase, manned by a Squad of Marine Sergeants. This was in Kyoto, Japan. I'm trying to remember and things seem to get in place as I keep trying. Drove a new M38 Jeep for my CO while over there and then promoted to Sgt and head of a Quad "50" Wish I could remember more, maybe someone out there can help me out.
Thanks to All.
Norm Bureau, Retired Maine State Trooper

Comments: I served in the 1st 90's in Korea from Nov52 to Nov53. I was an admin type and worked in the S-1 office (H&S Btry). When I left korea, i was transferred to Marine Barracks, Clarksville Base, Clarksville, TN. The barracks SgtMaj was Glenn W. Lusk, who was the former SgtMaj of the 1st 90's in Korea. I recollect that he told me about the train wreck that occurred when the battalion was enroute to Calif. A couple of my buddies from Clarksville, live in Calif and i have had a couple of phone calls from them when they were visiting SgtMaj Lusk.

I joined the 1st 90mm Bn at Courthouse Bay in Jan. 1950 and was transfered to the 2nd 90mm aaa at Tent Camp (now Camp Elliot ?) in late 1950. I would like to hear from anyone who might have been there then.

Comments: Looking for men from 1st 90mm AAA Gun Battalion involved in troop train wreck and sailed on the USMS GEN.MEIGS to Korea on Aug.15,1951
When the unit went to Korea it was attached to the 1st MAW. I was with the battalion from Dec. 1950 to Feb. 1952.
The C.O. was Col. May who was a K.I.A. around Jan. of 1952. I would like to talk to anyone from the old outfit, especially any of those who were in the troop train wreck going cross country to embark on the USMS Gen. Meigs To Korea.
Warmest wishes and Semper Fi!

Unit History sought
Fri, 20 Sep 1996
From: KudzuFL@aol.com E-mail
Subject: 1st 90 mm Gun Batatlion USMC
Thanks for this project.
Can't believe it's been 43 years since I did my tour in Korea, although
it's often seemed we dropped by the wayside in the wake of the
Vietnam war. I spent some time with the !st 90mm AAA Gun Battalion,
FMF Pac, and have never seen mention of the 90's in any history or
roster of Korean Marine Corps units.
I'd like to find a history of the 1st 90's, or hear from anyone who
served with the battalion at the time of its initial deployment to
Korea, and thereafter.
Thanks.

This is the best coverage I have encountered pertaining to the Korean
War. Thanks for all you are doing. I served at K3 Airfield in 1953 and
was there when the Truce was signed.My service was with Provisional
Automatic Weapons Battery,which was a group of volunteers from the 1ST
90 mm Gun Bn. Our Quad 50 Cal. machine guns defended the MAG 33 VMF
115 & 311 squadrons,and were on call as infantry support.Former Sgt.
