I promised my Mom I would do everything possible to bring Billy's remains home to Hyde Park NY. We never had a funeral. We want to bury him next to his Mom. We have conflicting reports of whether or not he was buried at Koto Ri during the fighting retreat from the Chosin Reservoir. I am looking for anyone who may have served with him in Korea. Especially anyone who can confirm he was buried at Koto Ri. Semper Fidelis Keywords: Chosin Reservoir, 1st Marine Div USMC, Koto Ri, Punchbowl, Ordinance Maitenance Battalion
