Nov 4, 1951

Comments: My brother and I are looking for information on Donald Turner (our uncle). He was killed manning twin 50’s when he couldn’t raise the gun height enough to shoot over the bodies of the enemy and they were over run.

Some one in the 1st Marine Division - either 5th Battalion 7th Regiment or 1st Battalion 7th Regiment recounted this to John Charles Cheek: "He told me that story one sunny day in the summer of 1953. We sat in the trench outside my bunker, smoked and shot the bull for 15 or 20 minutes. I think he was there to buy a bottle of whiskey from me."

My Dad was never able to talk about his favorite brother and we would like to keep the family history intact. Our other Uncle is very old now and would like to hear about Donald.

Any information would be appreciated

Nick (Bud) Cercone was Frank's squad leader in our assault on Hill 610 on 2 June, 1951, an assault in which Frank was KIA. Frank never saw his son who would now be in his early 50's. Bud would very much like to find the son and talk with him about his father... the kind of man and Marine he was. Bud thinks the family was either in the L.A. or Bay area at the time of Frank's death. Anyone with even the slightest bit of information can contact me at my e-mail: rclark8@san.rr.com.
