FIRST DIVISION CHARLIE COMPANY 1950

Comments: My Dad, David E. Norcross nicknamed Dennny, was in the First Division "C" Company and was from Shereveport, LA. He made the landing at Inchon with the First Division Marines on 15 September 1950, broke the 7th Marines out of Chosin and was shipped out of Wonsan on 11 December 1950 bound for Japan. He also got stuck in Guam for about 8 months on his return stateside and killed a Guamanin taxi driver that ran the gate. He will talk about his time served some. I am looking for other members of "C" company so I can more accurately know his movments.

Thank You, Steven Norcross

Edward B. Bush Guadalcanal & Korea

Comments: I am trying to find any information available about my father Edward B. Bush (Ed, maybe Bennie) who served from begining to relief at Guadalcanal and other battles. He was discharged after the war and then drafted back into the Marines for Korea. I understand that in Korea he may have been in the battle of Inchon. I saw the name "Capt. Trahan" on this site and remember that name as a child. How can I get a copy of his war record? Medals? I also remember as a child playing in a large box which contained numerous medals. Something happened one day which set something off in my father and caused him to destroy them all. No one knows what it was, as he talked very little about what he went through. He had some scars on the outside, but many inside. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated. Gregory B. Bush

1st Marines Guadalcanal

Comments: I'd like to know if anyone out there who survived Guadalcanal and served under General Vogal would remember my Dad S/SGT Allen Janise from Louisiana.

Dad told me of an Ice plant that the enemy had control of on a hill above the airfield, also of the Lunga river. Prior to the enemy attempting to regain possesion of the airfield, his units' communication was cut off and he knew where the lines ran to & from, so he went out ahead of the front lines under fire and restored communications. He was put in for a field commission and the silver star, but never recieved it as the requests were destroyed in transit and he felt it wasn't meant to be and never pursued it.

He later was injured when the straphing and bombing of the now occupied airfield was held by the Marines. He was medevace'd to New Calidonia.

Just wanted to see if anyone remembered him.

Thank You
