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!

In the name of the President of the United States, the Commanding General, 1st Marine Division (Reinf) FMF, takes pleasure in awarding the BRONZE STAR MEDAL to

CORPORAL JOHN C. ONTIVEROS UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS for service as set forth in the following

CITATION:

"For meritorious achievement in connection with operations against the enemy in KOREA while serving with a Marine infantry company from 7 May 1951 to 30 March 1952.

Serving as a fire team leader, Corporal ONTIVEROS displayed outstanding courage, initiative and devotion to duty.

On one occasion when seriously wounded during an attack on heavily defended enemy positions, he refused evacuation and continued to designate targets and direct the advance of his fire team until forced to be evacuated.

On 17 January 1952 when his company came under a savage attack by a reinforced enemy squad, he left the cover of his bunker, exposing himself with complete disregard for personal safety to intense enemy fire. This action, causing many enemy casualties, assisted in the final repulsing of the attack.

Corporal ONTIVEROS' heroism and fortitude throughout were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service."

Corporal ONTIVEROS is authorized to wear the Combat "V".

David R Jepsen

Comments: Grandpa Dave was a family friend and a mentor to my 14 year old son. I just thought I'd share his Obituary in the event that anyone knew him.

Semper Fidelis. David Robert Jepsen, 76, passed from life to life eternal Thursday, March 17, 2005, at his home in Harrisonville, MO. A Military Memorial Service will be held at Bethany Lutheran Church, 9101 Lamar, Overland Park, KS, on Tuesday, March 22, 2005, at 11 a.m. The family will visit with friends at a luncheon at the church following the services. Interment of ashes will be in Illinois at a future date. "Grampa Dave" was born July 15, 1928, in Oak Park, IL, to David Jepsen of Germany and Rose E. (Haller) Knorr of Forest Park, IL. At age 17, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps to be one of the first to fight. He then reenlisted in the Reserves so as to finish high school; which he did until he was recalled to active duty for the Korean Conflict. After 7+ years, this A-1-7 Marine was honorably discharged in 1953, as a Staff Sergeant and "Chosin Few" survivor. Returning to Maywood, IL, he became an active lifetime member of V.F.W. Post 2193, the Colour Guard Sgt. of the Winfield Scott Rebels Senior Drum and Bugle Corps, the American Legion, the Marine Corps League, the First Marine Division Assoc., the Korean War Veterans Association; the Military Order of the Purple Heart, and the group closest to his heart, an exclusive fraternity of honor: The Chosin Few. Dave became the beloved husband of Joan Clara (nee) Zieman when they were united in marriage on February 20, 1954; living in Maywood for over 45 years. He was employed by Brinks' Inc. in Chicago, where he was a driver/messenger for 31 years. Upon retirement, he actively pursued his second love of Civil War history by becoming a re-enactor and living historian with the 154th Tennessee Senior Vol. Infantry, Co. K, C.S.A. and the Tenth Illinois. After moving to Harrisonville, he was able to continue playing with the 10th Missouri while educating both school children and adults alike, about the war between the states and the daily life of a soldier, whether he was at an event or visiting a school classroom. He was loved by all who met him and his guiding hand and knowledge will be deeply missed, for in him, you could always find a smile and helping hand, which went above and beyond the call of duty for anything you were asking for. His legacy, legend, and "Semper Fi" attitude will be carried on by Jo, his wife of 51 years; by his two strong sons, David Randolph Jepsen of Overland Park, KS, and Carl Michael Jepsen of Petaluma, CA, and his wife, Lisa; and his two grandsons, Christopher and Scotty Jepsen. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to the family for distribution to the American Cancer Society; the Chosin Few; and/or the Marine Corps "Semper Fi" Fund for Injured Marines, in care of the funeral home. The few have now become fewer and the proud could not be prouder because of the selfless life lived by this former Marine, as it is said, and true: "Once a marine, Always a Marine!" Dad, we know you are now happily on duty at the gate. Semper Fidelis. (Arrangements: D.W. Newcomer's Sons Johnson County Chapel, 11200 Metcalf, Overland Park, KS, 913-451-1860) Published in the Kansas City Star on 3/20/2005.

According to A letter sent to my grand parents 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. It also spoke of the Chinese wrapping their bodies with ace bandage like material so that even if you hit them it wouldn’t bring them down.

He called-out "I don't want to die" over and over. This Marine was about six feet two inches tall, about 180 pounds, and spoke with a northern metropolitan accent. We told him that he wasn't going to die, and that he was going home now. We didn't have our names on our uniforms in those days. I didn't get his name. I had to carry more ammo and water up the hill again. It would be more than comforting to know that he survived. It was a brief encounter, but it is engraved in my memory forever.

LOOKING FOR BUDDIES OF MY FATHER, PFC HERBERT SPALDING

Comments: My father passed away November 13, 1999. I spent 10 years in the Corps (my first duty assignment was HqCo, HqBn 1st Marine Division). I am interested in conversing with anyone who may have known my father and could share memories of your time in Korea together--historical and personal. My father arrived in A/1/7 Korea in February 1952 and left Korea for the Philippines in 1953. In particular, the battle on May 28, 1952 would be of some interest. Also, interested in finding out the meaning of a word that my father said several times during his last hours.

Comments: My husband Gerard A Winkel was in Korea 7 months before he was WIA 7 Oct. 1952 for which he received the Purple Heart.

Many years later he was diagnosed with Post Traumatic War Syndrome...which he has struggled since Korea...

He is from Pgh,Pa. I don't know if anyone was left from the ambush or not.

Anyone out there who was in I Company?

Thanks Pege

David Ray Bickley - KIA - November 1950

Comments: My interest in the 1st Marines is to find anyone who knew my uncle, David Ray Bickley, who was killed in Korea in November, 1950.

I found his name in the casualties, the first record I've seen of his service other than family records.

The family knows no particulars of his death or the actions in which he was engaged at the time. Any information would be appreciated.

Thank you for creating this site.

Comments: Haven't been at your site for a while gentlemen but certainly have enjoyed this visit. You have been busy, to say the least. Love it!

Have been looking for info on my "bracelet" name of Louis Valenciano and seeing all this at your site, is absolutely wonderful. I love the picture of the "Monument" as part of the history. I am wondering tho, what the A1 describes as "Type of Casualty".... I could not find that designation anywhere.

Thanks again Barkers, for the wonderful job you're doing in keeping the Korean War memories alive for our folks who gave of themselves......

Sincerely, M. LaR
