Flame Dragons of the Korean War

Comments: Flame Dragons of the Korean war is a new book detailing the history of the Flame Platoon, Headquarters Company, First Tank Battalion, First Marine Division. This 344-page, 6x9 hardbound account of a little-known Marine Corps unit details the Platoon's activities from the landing at Wolmi-do prior to the Inchon Invasion on 15 Sept 50 to the cease fire 27 July 53. Co-authored by Flame Tankers Jerry Ravino and Jack Carty, and produced by Turner Publishing Company, Flame Dragons is a first-hand account of how the nine specialized twin-barreled Sherman Tanks spread havoc with their flame guns, and launched devastating artillery with their 105mm howitzers. It is recalled, not only by members of the Flame Platoon, but tankers from other units within the First Tank Battalion and fellow Gyrenes from the Fifth Marines and Seventh Marines who bore witness to it in the trenches and outposts during the three years of the conflict in the Land of the Morning Calm. Combat, fear, death and bravery often were anything but calm among these Marines who shared their personal experiences in this historical revelation. More than 180 pictures, mostly originals from scrapbooks of tankers, supplement the oratory which is supported by declassified records and told within a general history of First Marine Division activity in the war. Flame Dragons of the Korean War retails for $27.95, plus $3.05 shipping. It is available by sending a check or money order to Flames Dragons, P.O. Box 102, Barrington NJ 08007. Excerpts may be reviewed at www.flamedragons.com where Jerry Ravino or Jack Carty also may be contacted.

Looking for Dallas Folsom

Comments: My name is Jeremy Kirk and I am a reporter for Pacific Stars and Stripes in Seoul, South Korea. I wrote a story yesterday about a civic group that dropped off an envelope with alleged human remains and a photograph of a dog tag of Dallas Folsom, a Marine with the 5th Regiment, at Yongsan Garrison, the main U.S. Army base in Seoul.

We found out through the Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office in Washington, D.C. that Dallas Folsom left North Korea on Dec. 12, 1950, on the USS GM Randall. He stayed in the Marines until the mid-1960s, getting out as a staff sergeant.

The group will only say they obtained the remains in China, and the dog tag is still there. They won't tell us how they came in possesion of the bone fragments or photo of the dog tag.

I'd like to find out if anyone knows Dallas Folsom and if he is still living. Please write me back. Thanks! My story should be on the Stars and Stripes web site within a day or so. If you can find it, type in "Dallas Folsom" in the search window and the story should come up. The address is www.stripes.com.

DUNCAN'S 'THIS IS WAR' COVER

Comments: Can someone out there tell me who is on the cover of David Douglas Duncan's Book "This is War". I think (99.9%) that the lead Marine is my Dad. The problem is that my Dad didn't come to Korea until Feb/52 and yes I have been in contact with the Duncan Archives and am yet confused. I took this piture to my cousin who as a little 10 year boy worshipped my Father. After WWII my Dad lived with his Sister and her son who today pointed his finger and said with no doubt in his voice "THAT's HIM!!" That sealed it for me. He cried and so did I. Can some one out there please ask around and see if anyone remembers who that is on the cover of the book of Duncan's that was released in 1951. I can be wrong and would be glad for any resolution .

He arrived in Korea April 1951' He was promoted to sergeant upon arrival and commanded the 1st division 11th regiment 1st Battalion Baker Battery (Gun #4?) and served till the truce talks stalemate July 1952'. Its recently come to my attention He may have fired in support of E-2-5 and or G-3-5. He recieved 6 medals altogether not/inc the new unissued Rok medal. He has yet to receive it. He is interested in any serious contacts from baker battery and any forward observers he might have encountered. He's sad the names are gone from memory; Even then, most were nicknames never to be used again off the Peninsula. I've begun documenting his divisions movements during his service with what limited resources I can get. Any Information or Resources would be greatly appreciated and reciprocal if wanted. I've got a couple maps off the web and some random references to the Marines 11th Artillery in some actual diary like info and military docs. My Grandfather has some amazing stories and even more I'd like Help to unlock. My recent interest has already begun to get things going. If interested or know of my Grandfather please contact me imartin@nycap.rr.com for additional contact info. Any Information will be extremely appreciated. I look forward to a serious response.

5TH MARINE REGIMENT PATCH

Comments: Good Morning,

I work for the Marine Corps Association in Quantico, VA. I am currently doing a bit of research for one of our members. He has seen a decal being sold as a "5th Marine Regiment" patch replica and wanted to purchase it to show his pride for fallen brothers of all wars. His concern is this: Is there an official USMC 5th Marine Regiment patch? He wanted to display something that was authentic to the Marine Corps. One key point to this interesting patch is that it has 5 "seahorse" type images located in an "x" shape on the patch with the EGA on the top of the patch and "Fifth Marines" at the bottom of it. Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance.
