WIA

Comments: I've posted previously. I just saw Hal on History Detectives, today.

Prompted me to check for WIA records of my father William T. Farrar, Jr.

I have copies of his service record which I obtained from SecNav. Dad was a member of Alpha Company, 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines. He fought at Pusan, Wonsan, Inchon, Chosin and was wounded three times. The last time quite seriously at Hwanchon (spelling) Dam/Reservoir with a 61mm mortar landed between his legs as he dove for cover, serious wounds to leg and scrotum,they picked shrapnel out of his legs for the next 11 years,he died May 1962 on the operating table at Camp Pendleton.

What concerns me is that his name does not show up on the Korean War Project's list of WIA's, although he was awarded three purple hearts (first two were minor including one in the hand), his personnel records do show the three purple hearts.

He was also the adjutant (W.O.) of the 1st Joint Assault Signal Company 4th FMF, when it assaulted Roi Namur, Saipan and Tinian.

After Roi Namur the 4th FMF was rolled into the newly formed 5th Amphib

looking for any info on Wm. (Bill) Fry, 1065171

Comments: I'm in process of updated family information in form of my personal memoirs and Bill was my uncle and godfather. I was ten when he was KIA in 1950 and was pretty close to him. However, the only information I have on his death comes via word of mouth from his mother and siblings (all now deceased)and what appears to be his final correspondense to his mother (my grandmother) from Korea, dated November 12, 1950. if anyone has any information about him during his time as an active reservist or his short time on active duty, it would be very much appreciated. He has always been and always will be our family's personal HERO! Thanks.

PFC Alvin Neustadt

Comments: My Uncle PFC Alvin Neustadt was KIA on 26/9/50. My Grandmother (his mother) has passed and never spoke about him it was to painful. My mother (his sister), and my other Uncle (his brother) would like any info they can get. None of my Uncles things were returned after he died. My mother was a teenager and thinks she remembers my Grandmother getting a letter from one of his friends after he was killed. We can not find that letter. My Uncle loved to take pictures and we know he took many while over there, but we have never seen any. Please help my family, even if you did not serve with my Uncle maybe you can give us some history of his company D/ 2nd Bat/ 7 Marine/ 1 division. Thank You LBOOHER0218@aol.com 863-808-8853
