Comments: This is about my father. He was in the First Amphibian Tractor Bn., First Marine Division, Fleet Marine Force. I have found a picture that was taken of his batalion in New River, NC. My father died in 1993 and I miss him very much. He was very proud to be a Marine. He did not talk much about the war to us and I know little of my father as a Marine. He retired in 1958. If any one remembers anything about this photo or my father please let me know. I go through is things often and try to understand him more and more. You never really know any one until they are gone.
Thank you,
Betsee Stone Davis

NEIL NELSON wrote on 2001-07-12 14:35:30.0
Comments: He never talked about his experiences in Korea. It wasn't until after he passed away that I learned of the engagements he was in. I'd like to hear from anyone who knew my Dad and hear what his shipmates and frriends thought of him, both good and bad. I retired from the USN last year and spent my first 5 years with the FMF and was taught discipline and pride the right way! I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you for your time.
Keywords: CPL or SGT Harry M. Nelson "Swede", Inchon landing and the relief of Seoul. Was in Japan either prior to or just after Korean conflict. Had a Japanese girlfriend named Michiko. Mentioned a Marine named Thole or "T-hole". He left the USMC in the late 1950's and returned to Provincetown, MA.

Reunions

From: Rev. John W. Coates Email address
My name is Rev. John W. Coates originally from Norristown, PA, though I
live in Delaware now. I read your info on the Korean War Vets Home
Page.
So decided to try to write. Perhaps this could be on the home page as a
message.
I started with the 1st Armored BTN when it formed on the West Coast at
Camp Delmar. I was in the Service Company the first few months. Then
went to Korea with Service Company and was in the First Amored Amtrak in
1950. The second time, when we went back to relieve B Company in April
1951, I was a gunner with A/5 in A Company. Captain Guy was our Company
Commander. Lieutenent Petty was the Adj. When we were in Korea with the
1st Armored we were FMF 1st Marine Division. When we were in Japan we
were the Pacific Pac.
I served COG 1 year, after serving 3 years before the war started. I
went home in the 7th draft
in 1951.
I have found a book called Across the Reef about the Armored Amphibs in
the different wars which focuses somewhat on the Korean operation as
part of the book. The author's name is Victor Croizat. He published
it in 1989. The original publisher was Blandford Publishers, though it
is distributed by Sterling Publishers, 2 Park Ave, NY, Ny 10002. Mr
Croizat's address, the last time I had contact with him, was 217 - 21st
Street, Santa Monica, CA 90402.
Len Meiners, a Marine from St. Louis Missouri, has tried to do reunions
with the 1st Armored Amphibs. You can contact him, if you wish, and
give him your address. His address is:
8 Sunderland Court
St. Charles, MO 63303
Phone 314 928 0837
Fax 314 821 6530
We are not aware of his having an e-mail address.
As I said, I live in Delaware now. You can reach me at the following
address:
Rev. John W. Coates
31 South Cleveland Avenue
Wilmington, DE. 19805
Phone 302-421-9046
Fax 302-658-3335
