Corp. William Shurts

Comments: I have a book with the following information on Corporal William Shurts.........

THE SINGING MARINE

Corporal William Shurts, 21 of F. Company, 5th Marine Regiment, was hit by a sniper's bullet on a Korean hill. He died the next day. His inspirational singing brought cheer and courage to the trenches. His comrades described him as the "man who brought God to the front lines!" His favorite song was: "The Old Rugged Cross." How this song enheartened the men in the foxholes! Often, they would join with Corporal Shurts on the chorus. Passing from man to man, William spoke quietly to them of faith in God. "After he talked to us," a comrade wrote, "the dark foiled utterly. But for sinners he has a Gospel.

Widow needs your help

Comments: My Dad was Paul Edward Savage. He's one of the "Chosin Frozen." He passed away a year ago and the VA refuses to continue his benefits for my mom who spent her life taking care of him and is 73. We've got a lawyer who's requested we get some first hand details of what it was like to be in the Chosin, the conditions etc. Also, I have what may seem to be a strange question... Did the marine corp provide cigarettes or anything else to you all as an aid to nervousness or to help keep you alert, etc.? Please contact me at weo2him@yahoo.com with any info you have I'm gathering info for the lawyer in hopes that I can help my mother receive the benefits my dad earned in sacrificing his livelihood in Korea. It may be that this battle with the VA will be of help to other veterans' widows in the future.

Jack Howard Evans, Staff Sergeant Fox Company 1st Marines Regiment 1st Marines Division 2nd Battalion

He served in Korea during 1951 & 1952.

He has often told me stories of how he was in charge of 16 machine guns placed on a point in South Korea. I have a picture of him and some of his buddies by one of these machine guns. Here are a few of his comrades' names in case anyone might recognize them:

Leo Gonzales, NM. Roger Hicks, NY. Joseph Robinson, Penn. Evvin Steets, Penn. Elmer Muton, Ky. Kenneth Hooty, Mich. Gary Newman, NY. James Craig, NY David Golden, ILL. Kelly --- Mass. Bob Witte, Minn. Don Kirchgeter, Calif. Bill Leary, NJ.

He has also told me that he was in battles on Pork Chop Ridge & Heartbreak Ridge. (During what time, I don't know. But I could get the information for anyone if they needed it.)

Jack Howard Evans is from Rockwood, Tennessee, and is alive and doing well. If anyone who reads this knew or might know of someone who knew my papaw (grandpa), please e-mail me and I will pass on the information to him. I believe he would really like to see some of his old buddies again. Also, if I have left out any information someone might need to confirm that they knew him, feel free to e-mail me and I'll get it to you as soon as possible.

A poem I thought you all might like.

Comments: A poem I thought you all might like.

Freedom Is Not Free My father is the greatest man I have ever known, he fought in the cold, the dark, and territory unknown.

He fought for the freedom of people he had never met. The blood and the horror was a sight he would never forget.

The mighty Marines, fought hard and bold, but many friends fell, in the deep bitter cold.

Brothers in combat, brothers in arms, brothers in death held in each other’s arms.

Holding a friend whose life is gone instead of yours. Brother you will be remembered as a hero of this war.

With the battles raging, they could have fled, but Marines can be proud they took with them their dead.

If you ask the question why that is so, every marine will answer proudly, that is the Marine code.

They may not have known what they were fighting for, but brothers are brothers and that’s what Marines were there for.

Friendships made by bonds of blood. The heroes will not be forgotten. Their stories will be told.

Held dear to our hearts with the deepest of love. They died for freedom and the price was blood.

Thank you father for being willing to die, and thank you father for coming home to bless our lives.

But leaving the brothers who died for the unknown, when remembering them, you will not be alone.

There is an old battlefield, far across the seas, that is now covered with large buildings and beautiful trees.

A grandfather reflects, the time has gone fast, as his grandchildren are playing, unaware of the past.

“Thank you for our freedom, Thank you”, he cries. “My children were worth it.” As tears welled in his eyes.

The grandfather humbly dropped down to his knee, he will never forget the Marines nor that “Freedom is not Free”.

Daddy your heroic fight for freedom will never be forgotten. Thank you for being willing to give your life for your friends. I thank your friends for giving their life for you. Your life is a tribute to them. You can hold your head high. They call you the Chosin Few, because you really are chosen. You have chosen to live your life to the fullest. You have done that with honor, a tribute to your brothers and to us. And now we honor you father, you are an example to us all. Thank you. By Sandy Homer

-My family held a party paying tribute to my father. We gave him a framed window box with his purple hearts in it a picture of him during the war. It was beautiful. At that time I read him this poem I wrote for him. My father was a Gunny sargent 1 Marines 2nd Battalion Fox company, he was at Choisin. He is a great man. I am proud of him and all that fought. I hope you all enjoyed the poem.-

Comments:

My uncle, Bernard Lee Brandfass, IDNO 663328, PFC USMC was killed in action on 9/21/50. Am seeking info about him & details regarding his final action.

His obituary states that he died at Yongdungp'o. I also found a Korean Presidental Unit Citation for the First Marine Division in his effects.

Also,in a letter he wrote home on 9/1/50 he made reference to serving in the mighty "Fox" company & stated that the rebel flag, (presumedly the stars & bars) was their symbol.

The return address on his letter is "F" co., 1st Plt., 2nd Bn., 1st Marines.Are there unit histories available so I can learn more about the action at Yongdugpo?

He also stated in one of his letters that he travelled to "Yokohama", Japan (arriving on 8/28/50) from San Fran on the U.S.S. President Jackson (APH-18).

Please let me know if you have any information. Thank you in advance.

Comments: I am writting for my father, Charles Liebal, who was wounded in action in May 1952. He was placed in North East Korea around Hill 812. Then they were moved near Panmunjon because the Chinese said they would retake Soul by May Day. My father's platoon walked into a perfect ambush and they suffered 30% casualties. He was injured and sent to a hospital. One of his buddies wrote to him in the hospital and told him that most of their platoon was wiped out taking Pork Chop hill. He would like to find out if there are any survivors from his platoon. If you have any information he would appreciate it and I will pass it on to him. He hasn't gotten into the internet, yet. I have also copied all of the letters on this site and giving them to him to review. If he has any information on any of these I will be glad to email that person.

Thank you for your help. Sincerely; Diana Hall cdhall@rica.net
