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

Comments: Looking for stories/info on my father John McGuire. He was a corpsman attached to the 2nd battalion 1st marine reg, 1st marine div. He didn't speak much about his experiences. I do know from his records that he participated in the assault and seizure of Inchon, the capture and securing Seoul, and the Wonsan-Hamhung-Chosin campaign. I do know that he received a Purple Heart- it seems he was tending a wounded marine when a grenade was thrown. He layed over the marine to protect him and received shrapnel(?) to the left side of his neck and left arm. My father was a good man, very strict on us 16 kids, but still good at heart. Just curious as to what he did,saw etc. that molded him into the man I knew. Thank you Mary C. McGuire Daughter of a corpsman!

Purple Heart

Comments: I am a disabled veteran of the U.S. Army. Recently, there was a change to AR 600-8-22 Purple Heart. It allows military personnel wounded by friendly fire to be awarded the Purple heart. I noticed in paragraph (5) Examples of injuries or wounds which clearly do not qualify for award of the Purple Heart are as follows:

(in part)

(a) Frostbite or trench foot injuries.

In the local newspaper there was an article describing a World War II veteran finally awarded the Purple Heart for suffering frostbite of both feet. He received medical treatment in England. I assume there was change in the regulation since the end of WW II. The purpose of this letter is to obtain knowledge to process paperwork for a deceased friend that died in Germany. However, I cannot locate the regulation that covers the period during the Korean War. I am familiar with conditions of winters the Allied Forces experienced during the conflict. There were many that perished because of the harsh conditions. My question is were they posthumously awarded the Purple Heart? If so, does anyone happen to know the reference authorizing such? Please understand the purpose of this letter. I would appreciate any information.

Regards, Robert E. Johnson

Info on Jack H. Beauchamp

Comments: Hi, I am looking for anyone who has information about my father. He passed away in June of 1980. I was young then, so I didn't get to ask him much. What I do know is that he was a Corporal in the Marines in Korea. I was told that he was in the first group of marines to land in Korea. I know that at one time he did have something to do with helping the wounded soldiers out of harms way and get medical help. My sister and I are trying to find out as much as possible about our father so we can tell our children (I have 2 and my sister has 1) about their grandpa. I would appreciate any help possible. Thanks, Kelly (Beauchamp) Guadagna

Had an outhouse blow up when I used it the first time after digging the hole with flaming gasoline. Our unit served with First, Fifth and Seventh Marines as well as in First Mar Div. HQ.

FLAME TANKS

Comments: I am a former corporal and with former S/Sgt. Jack Carty, we are writing our units history and many stories of supporting arms that were involved in the Korean War from 1950-1953 Jack, served from 51 until-May of 1952 and my tour was from Sept.52 until the end 1953/24 th.Draft. The book is to be published this year called (FLAME DRAGONS.) This has been three years in the making and we believe because of our own experiences and factual documentation,along with many interviews that an outstanding piece of un-told Marine Corps, history that all Marines can be proud of is going to be told in honor of the men and women that served. Yes we are not going ever forget them wonderful nurses on ships and hospitals in Japan. Jack,and myself eventually, became Flame Thrower tank commanders involved in combat in North and South Korea. If you have seen the (Flame Platoon) of nine M4A3E8 Sherman tanks or been involved in supporting us or Flamers supporting you? We would appreciate hearing from you for possible inserts into our book. We welcome any tank or other pictures also for possible use in the book. Semper Fi, Jerry F-21 Jack was F-22

John H. Greenier - Needs Help

Comments: John H. Greenier was aUS Marine in the Korean war and fought for this country. Now due to the stress of combat he has suffered from Stomach Ulcers. The Veterans Affairs will not accept this as a war related injury and give him just compensation. He and his wife are both disabled and can not work. This Govern. will not give them the money needed to survive. John has also suffered from a stroke and can not work. Thier hospital bills and living expenses (which are minimal) exceed what this country pays them each month. That is about$1100. It is a sad day when the gov. of the "greatest" nation on Earth will not give due pensions to thier Veterans. I am disgusted!
