Comments: My Dad, Nicholas J. Sheppard served with C-1-1-1; I believe he was in in a leadership position. We know that he walked out onto a minefield to rescue one of his officers. We spent a few summers with him at Camp LeJeune during his active duties. Anyway, as we're trying to get his memoirs down on paper, any stories anyone can contribute would be greatly appreciated! At 82, he's still in excellent health [golf and tennis any day he can get an opponent or a foursome that is YOUNG enough for him to compete with]. Many thanks.

Comments: I know absolutely nothing about the unit, hill number, etc., that my grandfather, Herbert Marion McCauley served under, but I do know that he was a Marine from Maryland, and fought in the Korean War.

My grandfather died when my mother was 2 days old. Since she's never known her father, any memories others share with her are very precious. I'm just trying to find anyone who might have known my grandfather, and can tell her about him, or what he did in Korea. The 50th anniversary of his death is coming (Dec. 27) and I know he's on her mind quite a bit as a result.

Comments: My father Cpl Stanley Nowak Jr was transferred to Korea in a replacement draft on 7 Jan 1951. He joined 1st Bn, 1st Marines, 1st Marine Division on 14 Jan 1951. He was WIA on 25 April 1951. He was WIA again on 10 June 1951 and died of his wounds the following day on 11 June 1951 at "E"Co.,1stMedBn,Field Hospital.

Dad was fatally wounded on 10 June 1951 while 1stMarDiv was advancing northeast from Hwachon Reservoir to the Punchbowl. They were clawing out daily gains of 1,000 - 2,000 meters, ultimately reaching their objective despite heavy NKPA fire.

Captain Calvin R. Baker Jr., Commanding Company "A", 1st Bn, 1st Marines, 1st Marine Division wrote; While in the area of Yanggu, Korea on 10 June 1951 our company was assulting an enemy held hill. Enemy action made it necessary for the emplacement of Stanley's machine gun squad to give covering fire. Stanley was directing the fire of his machine gun when he was wounded. He received immediate medical attention and within a few minutes was evacuated from the hill. While being evacuated he dropped into a state of unconsciousness from which he never recovered. He passed away on 11 June 1951.

Ray35 Tried to email you email returned

Comments: Hello Ray thank you so much for cobtacting me, This is so Hard for me my Dad died on May 4th of this year of a Heart attack in my parents Drive way, This was unexpected since he had never had any Heart problems. I have always been a Daddy's Girl I am 43 years old now and I grieve every day for him I didn't even get to say goodbye to him my other 4 sisters did I lived farther away from the hospital and wasn't at home that day I was down the road helping someone I live in a rural area in Scottown, Ohio. I missed my dad by 5 mins. I have so many regrets right now one is that me and dad talked allot about sitting down and talking about his experiences in Korea. That didn't get to happen. My dad was 75 and worked up to the day he died at Sam's club he loved it. This is the hard part that might have added to his heart Attack. a Month before he passed away he found out that my Mom was Terminally ill and was dying from Renal Cell Carcinoma of the Kidney's. My parents were married 53 Years and raised 5 daughters. Getting back to the service. I ordered all of my Fathers enlistment papers from the Service and got them a week ago. What year was your dad in Korea and can you remember other's that was in your squadron. I have names of a few who served with Dad. Do you have a way to scan the pictures and email them to me you don't know how much I would appreciate it. Right now I could call you and give you more information on Dad and his times and dates in the service but I can't promise I won't cry. I feel like my daddy died yesterday. I break down crying sometimes when he is mentioned. I am crying now just hoping that you do know my dad and the pictures are of him. If it turns out he is the fuller then I have some pictures to share with you because I have pictures of him and his friends in the service that you may not have. If you would like to talk to me my Full name is Karen Leslie Fuller Dillon. I go by Leslie my email is kleslied@yahoo.com. I tried to email you back but the email came back as a failure. So I would appreciate if you could go ahead and email the pictures if you have them scanned or semd me an email and I will send you mt address thank you so much. I also Live in Ohio. Getting back to my mom she is missing my Dad every Day and cry's every day still. Mom's cancer has spread to her lungs and her pelvis and it is in her bones and Bone marrow. She has went through Radiation to slow the cancer and also radiation to slow down the pain. She has lost 40 pounds and is moving slow but she is still trying to hang in there. The doctor gave her 6 months to 1 year to live and she had passed 8 months so far. It is very time sensitive on mom right now so if you do have pictures I would love to get a copy of them before she dies I really don't think she has much time left. You don't know how much this means to me. I am praying that you do know my Dad because I missed so much information about Korean and the war and I hope you will be able to tell me about it. If you end up that it isn't the right fuller. I would appreciate any stories or Information about the war any way that you can share with me that is if it isn't to hard for you to talk about it. If you can't talk about it maybe you can through email. Again thank you so so very much for contacting me. Karen Leslie Fuller

Although some of these stories were funny, they were all enjoyable. When my Dad became sick in 1991 he started to tell me more about his actual missions. I never saw my Dad shed a tear until that day, it scared the hell out of me. I am proud to say that he went to heaven a proud stedfast Marine. When he realized that it hurt hum so to speak of his missions, he clammed up and never would mention it again. there are rumors in the family that he was a spotter. There are others that he was some sort of special missions Marine. I know that he saw combat, he was awarded at least 2 purple hearts, and had scars on his back from napom(sp?).

Comments: I am a former Navy Hospital Corpsman of the Marine Corps type. My Mother's brothers were Marines in WWII and Korea. My Uncle Ed Hayhurst was assigned to 1/1 early in the "Korean Conflict". Eddie passed away in 1995. Marines of all generations will appreciate this: When I joined the Navy, Uncle Ed called my Mom (his little sister) and said in his best, salty Marine / parade deck voice; "you tell him (me) I disown him as a nephew! Bigtime jock uh? It'll be some warm cozy up 'The Chosin' before he'll set foot on my property again! Y'all know I'm forever armed, and 'hatin them 13-button squid assholes!" Then he slammed down the phone. It takes nearly two years to train a basic Hospital Corpsman.... during which Mom heard not from uncle Ed. Once I completed those arduous academics, I was ordered to the Third Marine Division, by way of Camp Pendleton's "Field Medical Training". Low and behold Mom received a call from Ed, who (in his "best Marine dressed") said something like; "yes ma'am, and.... you know how I love ya.... and I want you to tell my FAVORITE nephew (ME, the Navy Corpsman) that he's invited to Ed's Barbeque & Brew any 'fuckin time"! After I presented him with a DI's Campaign Cover, we ate his gourmet chow, then drank a few beverages. It was at this point that Eddie Elbert Hayhurst broke out his photo albums. GENTLEMAN: I learned more from Uncle Ed in an hour, than I had during three months at Camp Pendleton, or would in the next three years at 3d MARDIV! Maybe even more than I've learned as a Marine historian during the past 25 years! Before I left, Aunt Gladys pulled me aside and told me, "I've been married to him for 30 years, and I've never seen those pictures.... he's never talked about any of that stuff with me". I must tell you all that I have (subsequintly) heard this alot as a civilian medical professiional (X-Corpsman). My original intrest in USMC history was strictly personal. However, now as more of you old bastards are leaving this poor young Doc, I am obligated to tell your story the right way.... Ed's way. I need to hear from Ed Hayhurst's shipmates in those specific combat unit(s)of 1/1.... according to Marine Corps tradition. In that manner which is now concidered "politically incorrect". Or as you and I know it.... "The Truth"! I invite any and all of you to e-mail me. I will be happy to call you or give you my phone number, and visit with you anywhere out west.

on behalf of all Americans, (even the most unthankful sons-a-bitches)

Keywords: EDDIE ELBERT HAYHURST USMC (1/1) Koerea '50 - '51 (A freckled, blonde/curly, .45 Cal revolver twirling, whiskey tossing, combat killer type Marine).

(From Lodi, CA)

NOTE: Those who knew Eddie, know that he was a direct decendant of original Texas cowboys, and so he rightfully valued the revolver as the most reliable of personal protection weapons. Therefore, he begged (via mail) my grandpa (a Texas borderland law man of the prohibition era) to send him a .45 S&W "triple lock" from the family armory. So Grandma Hayhurst broke one down, and mailed it to him piece by piece in cakes & brownies! THIS IS A REAL "NO SHITTER"!

Comments: I am a former Navy Hospital Corpsman of the Marine Corps type. My Mother's brothers were Marines in WWII and Korea. My Uncle Ed Hayhurst was assigned to 1/1 early in the "Korean Conflict". Eddie passed away in 1995. Marines of all generations will appreciate this: When I joined the Navy, Uncle Ed called my Mom (his little sister) and said in his best, salty Marine / parade deck voice; "you tell him (me) I disown him as a nephew! Bigtime jock uh? It'll be some warm cozy up 'The Chosin' before he'll set foot on my property again! Y'all know I'm forever armed, and 'hatin them 13-button squid assholes!" Then he slammed down the phone. It takes nearly two years to train a basic Hospital Corpsman.... during which Mom heard not from uncle Ed. Once I completed those arduous academics, I was ordered to the Third Marine Division, by way of Camp Pendleton's "Field Medical Training". Low and behold Mom received a call from Ed, who (in his "best Marine dressed") said something like; "yes ma'am, and.... you know how I love ya.... and I want you to tell my FAVORITE nephew (ME, the Navy Corpsman) that he's invited to Ed's Barbeque & Brew any 'fuckin time"! After I presented him with a DI's Campaign Cover, we ate his gourmet chow, then drank a few beverages. It was at this point that Eddie Elbert Hayhurst broke out his photo albums. GENTLEMAN: I learned more from Uncle Ed in an hour, than I had during three months at Camp Pendleton, or would in the next three years at 3d MARDIV! Maybe even more than I've learned as a Marine historian during the past 25 years! Before I left, Aunt Gladys pulled me aside and told me, "I've been married to him for 30 years, and I've never seen those pictures.... he's never talked about any of that stuff with me". I must tell you all that I have (subsequintly) heard this alot as a civilian medical professiional (X-Corpsman). My original intrest in USMC history was strictly personal. However, now as more of you old bastards are leaving this poor young Doc, I am obligated to tell your story the right way.... Ed's way. I need to hear from Ed Hayhurst's shipmates in those specific combat unit(s)of 1/1.... according to Marine Corps tradition. In that manner which is now concidered "politically incorrect". Or as you and I know it.... "The Truth"! I invite any and all of you to e-mail me. I will be happy to call you or give you my phone number, and visit with you anywhere out west.

on behalf of all Americans, (even the most unthankful sons-a-bitches)

Comments: My father completed basic in SanDiego, graduating in April,1951 with the 27th platoon, second battalion. He was stationed in BArstow with the motor transport supply outfit. He was on the General John Pope and sailed from San Diego to Japan on Thursady, April 17th 1952. After being in Korea, he was pulled back to division to attend Non Commissioned Officers school. He was there until the end of July. He returned to the fuel camp, but on August 22nd of 1952 he volunteered to go to the "front" bunker hill, after the 1st marines had been hit pretty hard. He was squad leader of the 2nd squad, 3rd platoon, of Fax Co. 1st marines. He claimed to have 12 good men in his squad. On August 23rd after being ordered by his lieutenant back to the command post bunker he fell under sniper attack a few feet from the post. I am hoping to find someone who knew my father and can tell me anything aabouth this man and the events I have discribed. It would mean a great deal to me.

Comments: Still trying to locate anyone that may have been with this group. My husband went to Pusan, Korea in Aug 1950 with them, on the USS Henrico. Before he was injured over there he was in fighting at Pusan, Mason and the Naktong River.

He was hurt when a "One Lung Charlie" flew overhead, breaking his eardrum and throwing him in the Naktong River. He was with another soldier that suffered shrapnel to his forehead. Both survived. This other soldier was too young to be over there and had to go back to Retraining at Atsu, Japan.

There is another incident near, or close to Mason; concerning a battered schoolhouse in Chindong-ni. There are several stories about this incident one on the Internet and the other in a book by Marguerite Higgins.

If you know anyone that was there or have any information please write me.
