I was in the first squad, third platoon, of B (Baker) Company, 5th Marines. Our Officers and Platoon Sergeants were mainly WW2 vets who knew how to lead against the N.

Does anyone remember helicopters or airplanes spraying chemicals are the DMZ around this time? I am not sure if it was Agent Orange, DDT for mosquitoes, or an unknown chemical that was used. I do remember the spraying and was wondering if anyone has has the same memories. I have read conflicting reports of this activity. It is widely reported that Agent Orange was sprayed in Korea but much later than the 1953 or 1954 time period I am mentioning.

Requesting Records/Info

Comments: I'm trying to verify my father's KW service, and would appreciate any sources wherein I can do this, or if any one out there may have served with him. Information I have up to now suggests he was in the 1/5, though as a reservist, I thought the bulk of them were in the 7th.

Again, any and all info available would be greatly appreciated.

According to my dad, he was responsible for keeping a lot of his troops alive. My dad can not remember Mr. Blaylock's first name, but it is believed that he was from Memphis, TN. Any help locating this fellow marine would be greatly appreciated
