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

He has always been and always will be our family's personal HERO! Thanks.

Trained at Parris Island Jan 51-Apl 51 (Second Recruit Battalion, Platoon 116, "Honor Platoon") Sent to Camp Pendleton until shipped to Korea in I believe july of 51 until october of 1952. His current plaque shows 1st marine division, 7th regiment, 2nd battalion, E and H&S companies. I had always heard he was a radioman. I would love to know if anyone can confirm this and also the time periods when he was in E company and when he was in H&S company. If anyone remembers him, and the hills and places he was at, it would be great to hear from you. Thank you all for your time.

Comments: So.

Two days after my 64th birthday, here comes the snow. Biggest blizzard since '96, fourth biggest in recorded New York history. Twenty-one, maybe 22 inches. It's a holiday morning, so I sleep in, with wife and dogs, then get up, make a hot breakfast, and go out to shovel snow. I do the back door first, so the dogs have a place to conduct bidniz, then head to the front. By the time I get our sidewalk joined up with our neighbor's, I feel that I should drive a golden spike or something to commemorate the event. Then I slog down the block to where (I think) the car is buried, and start to dig out. Despite (or perhaps because of) help from two neighborhood kids, whom I pay less than the want for more than they do (the American way!), this takes pretty nearly all afternoon. Knowing I'll just have it all to do again tomorrow, but in hope that it'll be easier for what I do today, I call it off about dusk, and go back in the house. Fix myself a big rum toddy, start up a big pot o' chili, feed the dogs, go down to the study, sit down in my chair with the dogs at my feet (sort of), look up at the 1:250,000-scale map of Northeast Korea that's been on my wall for ten years now, along with a photo of the gravestone, in Kennesaw National Cemetery, of Cpl Lee H. Phillips, USMC, MOH, Feb 3, 1930 - Nov 27, 1950, and think: God, this is easy.

Every memorial day I take her to his grave to honor his memory and her pain over his death is still very evident.

I am familiar with some of the events reguarding his time in korea but not to many particulars. I do know that he was awarded the Silver Star and that he was a squad leader in F/2/7. Even though I am not related to Sgt. Kipp, as a child, I grew up with his memory.

Corporal Thomas Witchek 2/7

Comments: My Dad. Corporal Thomas Witchek, was at Inchon and Chosin. He was with the 2nd. Bn. 7th. Mar., then he was with the 1st Bn. 7th. Mar., and then the 3rd. Bn. 7th. Mar. I am not sure what Bn. he was with at the Chosin but he was one of only six in his company that made it through. I also know he was in the 1st Mar. Div., Reinforced...if that is different from the above I have no idea. He was only 16 when he enlisted and only a little over 20 when he came home.

My Dad has passed and I am looking for anyone who might have known him or any information about what was going on when he was there. Putting together information helps with the grief and makes me realize more and more why I am so proud to be his daughter. I am in awe that he carried his patriotism, a strong bond to the men who fought with him and the Corp, and a genuine concern for the children who had to suffer the actions of adults over there all of his life.

For anyone who has time...interestingly my Dad had been injured and had shrapnel in his back. In the late 80's some of it moved and became infected. He only allowed his Dr. to remove the shrapnel that was causing him problem. I have heard other stories of the same. My uncle, who is also passed, had some sharpnel in his face his entire life as well, never to have it removed...and when we would go with him to sit around with some of his war 'cronies' several of them said they also kept their shrapnel. Of course when I was younger I never thought to ask...but my question now is ...why?

Thank you and God's Peace!

Keywords: I would like to thank every man who fought to make sure my family, and other families, were safe. You put your lives on the line every moment 'just because' and I realize your tremendous gift every time I kiss my children goodnight. God's Peace to you all!

Leo Henkenius E Co

Comments: Hello. Thanks for reading this. I am the, well, great niece, I suppose of a man who was killed during the Korean war. My Grandmother (his sister), is very interested in finding information about him. I was showing her the computer and how you can find information about people, and things, and she instantly was very curious about her brother, Leo Henkenius. He was killed in action (however, nobody knows anything about him.) Apparently it occured around the Chosin Reservoir near Yudam Ni. She's very interested in hearing from anyone who knew him, or anything about him. Thank you so much. E-mail at Happy3333@aol.com

I appreciate this,
