Photos available - Koto-ri November 1950

Comments: Frank Britt, my father, recently died. I have old Korea photographs - which include photos of Marines in and around Koto-Ri, images of the breakout convoys, and the Chosin Resevoir. If you are interested please let me know. It would be great if these are passed on to other family members. I have scanned these into a pdf file and several jpg's.

Dad was a Corpsman serving in Charlie Company of the 7th Regiment. He landed at Inchon, and later on the east cost of Korea for the drive to Chosin. Dad was there when the Chinese attacked in early November. Dad was wounded in combat on November 11 in the hills above Koto-ri. I do not know how he got some of these photos since they were taken after he was evacuated. The breakout came later that month. I also have a photograph of his graduating class for Hospitalmen, April, 1948 as well.

As many here have said, veterans of combat don't speak of their experiences. However, towards the end of Dad's life he collected a whole series of books on the Korean War which I am reading now. Reading these, having seen my Dad's bronze star and Purple Heart, his wound, makes me a very proud son, a humble and grateful American. God bless all of you who served in Korea and might read this!
