WHILE ENGAGED IN THE BATTLE TO HOLD THE PUSAN PERIMETER, THE BRIGADE TRAVELED MORE THAN THREE HUNDRED EIGHTY MILES IN LESS THAN A MONTH, WHILE MOVING TO ATTACK POSITIONS. THREE MAJOR ENGAGEMENTS WERE ENTERED INTO IN ADDITION TO NUMEROUS SMALL UNIT ACTIONS. THE BRIGADE WAS SHORT OF MEN, AND THE THREE BATTALIONS WERE MADE UP OF ONLY TWO COMPANIES, INSTEAD OF THE USUAL THREE COMPANIES EACH. FROM CHINGDONG-NI TO SACHON, TO BOTH BATTLES OF THE NAKTONG, THE MARINES FOUGHT AGAINST A NUMERICALLY SUPERIOR ENEMY, YET THEY DID NOT FAIL TO TAKE THEIR ASSIGNED OBJECTIVES. IN THESE THIRTY-ONE DAYS OF COMBAT, THE MARINE BRIGADE MET, DEFEATED, AND LARGELY DESTROYED THE 83RD.MECHANIZED BRIGADE, THREE REGIMENTS OF THE 4TH.NORTH KOREAN DIVISION, AND A BRIGADE OF THE 9TH.NORTH KOREAN DIVISION. CASUALTIES COMMITTED ON THE ENEMY BY MARINE GROUND, AND MARINE AIR ATTACK WERE APPROXIMATELY 3,400 KILLED, 9,600 WOUNDED, AND 69 CAPTURED. THERE WERE EIGHT ENEMY TANKS MET, AND DESTROYED, AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF WEAPONS AND VEHICLES CAPTURED. DESPITE THIS REMARKABLE COMBAT RECORD, THE LOSSES TO THE MARINES HAD BEEN COSTLY. THE SECOND BATTLE OF THE NAKTONG COST THE MARINES 220 CASUALTIES, OF WHICH 39 MARINES AND NAVY CORPSMEN WERE KILLED IN ACTION.

VIC CAMPBELL wrote on November 23, 2010 City and State: MILTON FL Unit: 1ST PROVISIONAL BRIGADE 5-1 Service or Relationship: OTHER Comments: Searching for my cousin, Rogene Howell Kilpatrick who is now in his last battle. All indications are he was in the 1st provisional marine brigade (noted on roster in online data at the marine museum) at the Pusan Perimeter and thus I am searching for the remainder of his Korea history with the 1-5-1. I get confused with regiments and brigades but it seems this is 1st Marine Div - 5th Battalion, 1st Brigade? I need to verify his history to get his DD214 updated because the form (from 1954 data) states in remarks that records were lost. I am confident (based on his oral record and on the roster on record in the marine museum) that he deserves whatever medals were earned by that unit in that time (1950-53). My cousin has never talked much about this experience. He and his wife are childless. His wife never encouraged any veteran interaction and they have never made efforts to seek VA help except a recent application for a DD214 (which is incomplete) primarily for the purpose of funeral/ burial markers. I'd like to find the records of his service. I'd like to get the medals he deserves. I'd like to see he gets them before it is too late for him to know his service is GREATLY APPRECIATED.

The Marines used us as close support weapons, not as AA defense. I am proud of that service! The Marines kept us informed and no matter what, I always felt secure. It was cold and bitter fighting, and the Marines suffered terribly, but always nobly and always with honor. I served again alongside Marines in Vietnam twice. Same story!

He was a machinest for an amphibius (spelling) unit. He belonged to the 6th Battalion platoon 166. One story I remember him sharing besides getting his dog drunk on my fathers B.Day, was the story of Bed Check Charlie. For those not familiar, B.C. charlie flew an old bi-wing plane and would drop molitove cocktail bombs on the camps below, keeping our fathers from getting much needed sleep. He said once B.C charlie flew by two jets would come screaming up behind him but they had difficulty shooting him down because he could fly so close to the trees and ground and the jets (corsairs I beleive) could not. But eventually B.C. charlie was sent to the landing strip in the sky by those same Fighter pilots. Sorry if I bored anyone or got anything wrong for those of you that were there. Anyway if anyone served with my father or recalls the name or has a story about my father, the youngman I never knew, I'd love hearing from you. Thanks, God Bless America, and Happy Memorial Day.

Marcy's brother has his discharge papers, that's it. He never spoke of Chosin to his daughter or his son, but spoke to me about it several years before he died (he did not give much details). My wife was shocked to learn that her Dad never spoke of it. We do not have anything related to Bob Resnick's experience or whether he ever received any recognition for his service. I am looking for anyone who knew Bob, or any information on how I can pass Bob's Marine experience on to my son (Bob's grandson) and his descendants. We do have some letters Bob wrote to his family while he was in Korea which is a good starting place. However he only wrote about the cold and how much he missed his family, and naturally did not give any details about what he was really going through. --Davi Keywords: Robert (Bob) Resnick, Chosin Res.
