LOOKING FOR ANYONE WHO KNEW MY FATHER WALLACE 'WHITEY' WHITING - USMC 1953 - KOREA

Column_1_Spacer Column_2_Spacer
Diane Whiting wrote on 2004-11-13 04:29:16.0

Comments: Hello,

I am looking for anyone who knew my father, Wallace "Whitey" Whiting. He entered the USMC when he was 17 (1953) and was sent to Korea, as a Machine Gunner, shortly before the war ended. Apparently he was only there for approx 1 month when he was seriously injured in the leg - for which he earned a purple heart. My father may have enlisted in Ithaca NY (his hometown). My father also had an older brother (10 years older) in the USMC. His name was Mert Whiting. If anyone knew my father, especially during his time in boot camp (I think boot camp was at Paris Island) or during his time in Korea, please contact me.

Thank you.

The "now" part is not difficult - it's just that we can't find anything on how it was back then, i.e. women in basic training, the hours, the training itself, the housing, etc. Can anyone help me find information and or at least relay your personal experience? If so, give me the year that you were in the service (it doesn't matter which branch). My oldest son is currently serving in the Air Force and he's trying to help me on this, but so far nothing has turned up. Thanks so much! Sherri LaFerrara

Harper was pulled out while we were at the range and sent to quantico.The next time I met him was at Ascom City waiting to board a ship(the Meiggs) for rotation home. He was a first Lt.If he is still with us, I speak on behalf of the plt that he was one hell of a man as we look in retrospect, but at the time obviosloy he was a sob!I have ofter wondered if he made it a career. I stayed for three years and went on to college for my degree.

Comments: I am looking for any information about my father, Sgt. Lawrence Hallie Hubbell. D.O.B. 01/01/32. I believe he went by the name of "Hallie" while he was in the Marines. He was in the Marine Corps and served in Korea sometime between 1951 and 1953. He attended Basic Training in San Diego in 1951 with the 204th Platoon. He was from Parkdale, Oregon. I am interested in talking with anyone who knew him or served with him in Korea. He died in 1964. I am considering a trip to Korea during the summer of 2000 and would like to go to places where he served. I would appreciate any help that you could give me in my search.

A photo from his Basic Training in San Diego has the following names on it: Sgt. N.F. Wickline, Sgt. M.J. Hodge, Corp. C.R. Siel and Corp. W.D. Morris.

29th DRAFT

From: HGreen5431@aol.com
Subject: 29th Draft

I am trying to locate any one who left the states for Korea 
on the 29th Draft (USMC).  

I was with the 1st Marine Division, Weapons Co, attached to Chalie 
Company. Any assistance will be welcome.

Pltn. #288 Parris Isld. 20Dec - 1Mar51

datein: 20Dec50  dateout: 23Jan55

cas: yes

comments:  
It has been a long, long time but I would enjoy hearing from my Marine
"boots" all of whom survived "the asylum on the Island". 88 started out
and 67 graduated; in addition, we all went to CamPen for close combat
training w/ T & R Command, then onto Battalion FMF schools at Delmar.

From there most of PLtn #288 embarked for replacements to the 1st Marine
Division FMF in Korea. It took the USNS Gen. Miegs 21 days to get us to
Pusan, Korea. 

Remember that dirty bucket the Miegs??  12th replacement draft was put 
on to "cattle trucks" thru that foul, smelly port city. Enroute to tent
city saw filthy Koreans urinating & defecating in front of their 
cardboard hovels. Days later we were assigned to our various MOS and I 
went to "A" Co. 1st Tank Bn with 4 others from #288. 

With our hands full in that combat tour lost track of #288 boots. If 
any of you are on the web, please feel free to say hello again.

Looking for the surviving members of Plt 69, MCRD Parris Island, SC 
of 1949.  A lot made the 1st Prov Mar Bgd. 

Most went with the 1st Mar Div to Inchon.  Most were only 18 years old. 
Some were younger.  Most made Chosin Reservoir. Please answer.  

If you know a Marine who is now 65 or older and from east of the
Mississippi, He could have been in Plt 69 of 1949. 

Thanks

I was  out of P.I. about the end of November  or the early part of
December l950. I spent  a year as a M.P. at he Norfolk Naval Air Station
before being transferred out to California for advanced combat training.

Any stories would be great

Anyone remember Plt 429 at Parris Island, S.C. Graduated Aug. 1, 1952.

Supposed to have been "all-Maine" but was fleshed-out with Massachusetts
men.

Have found several former members - Guay, Holland, Boucher. Just lost 
two, Champagne and Cyr. Remember? Also interested in hearing from anyone
on Replacement Draft 132 from Pendleton - March '53?
