ANGLICO websites

Comments: The website for the ANGLICO Assoc. is down, our outstanding former webmaster unable to continue, and I've been asked to rebuild it.

The new ANGLICO Association website will take some months to reconstruct, as many of the photos and files will have to be recovered.

We have this static public website, under construction now, and we have an interactive, restricted-access forum. Links to both are at www.1anglico.org. Contact me to gain access to the restricted ANGLICO forum.

Our Korean War collection of historical documents and images is growing slowly but steadily. But this segment of our earliest history is difficult to reconstruct, as our teams were detached to other units. Two authors are currently penning books on ANGLICO's entire history, and have access not only to the Korean War Project, but also to the ANGLICO Assoc. and ANGLICO forum information.

Naval Gunfire Platoon

Comments: Master Sgt. Claude Talbott was one of our spotters. We also manned a "generator bunker" on an island just below the lines and connected to the shoreline by a small land bridge. From this bunker we sent out a beam for ships to lock onto to fix their position.

Command Chronologies

Comments: A number of us are working hard to compile our unit's history from the Korean War to present. We have very limited info on JASCO, all the Command Chronologies from 1965-1972 for Vietnam, but no official documents for the Korean War. I have only one article about us in an Artillery journal.

If anyone knows where I can find 1st ANGLICO Command Chronologies (or equivalent official USMC records) for the Korean War, I'd like to add these to our ANGLICO website. I was recently outbid on EBAY for some unofficial book about the Korean War Anglicans.

Thanks, and.... Semper Fi

Additional Information to Bob Arnold's article

Comments: Bob Arnold's comments did not cover information about the Air Platoon since he was with Naval Gunfire Platoon. While stationed at the reclaimed Camp Catlin quonsets these air teams trained at Makua Valley, calling air strikes via field radios with planes from aircraft carriers located at Pearl Harbor. Teams were rotated to Korea in 6 month intervals, usually relieving each team before them attached to the KMC's. First groups were sent to the Yalu River area and were overrun by the Chinese, then moved to the Punch Bowl area, but few air strikes available particularly during the winter of 51-52....teams worked with artilery part of the time because our radio communications. As the war moved to the south/west near the 8th parellel and the DMZ (before it was so deisgnated)aircraft (mostly AD's) were more plentiful and lent great support for napalm coverage in the open "no-mans-land" area's between the more mountainous zones. Pilots from Austrailia and England participated. Korean Marines's had little equipment or artillery and were vunerable to Chinese and N Korean combat troups. The KMC's and our air teams were too far forward for most USMC regiment artillery support so 1st Anglico air support was effective. Air team members, Sgt Eli Basquin was awarded the Bronze Star w/Combat "V" and Sgt Bob Richardson received a Special Commendation Medal on Marine Corp Birthday Regiment Parade Nov.'52 by FMF Commanding General Franklin Hart at Pearl Harbor. Anglico team members and pictures are available.

First Anglico FMF PAC Korean War (continued)

Comments: Perhaps one of the most elite, and least known activities of the U.S. Marine Corps was the action of the First Air and Naval Gunfire Liaison Company ( First Anglico), Fleet Marine Force, Pacific, which served from 1950 to 1953. Trained and home-based at Camp Catlin, Nimitz Highway, just outside Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, all officers and enlisted in this prestigious unit were required to have an IQ of 115 or better. First Anglico consisted of 12 teams of 12 men each. Each team contained one officer artillery spotter, one officer Marine naval avaitor for close air support. and one naval officer for Naval gunfire support. Each team had nine communications specialists complete with required radio equipment. Most of us spent numerous days and nights on the Kahoolawe Hawaii Naval Gunfire target Island,in the bunker, spotting Naval Gunfire projectiles. Every U.S.NAVY AND nato GUNSHIP that passed thru Pearl Harbor had to qualify in shore bombardment on actual targets. This included Destroyers, Light Cruisers, Heavy Cruisers and 16 inch Battleships. Almost every Marine regiment in Korea had a First Anglico team in its forward observation post. Marine regiment commanders knew the importance to the ground troops of close support, and First Anglico supplied numerous close support missions. At a later stage in the Korean war, First Anglico teams were stationed on the offshore islands of North Korea's western side, with a six-gun destroyer ( six 5" 50 caliber naval rifles) in support, to deny the communists the use of the coastal highway. Because of the enlisted's high IQ, many later went to the Marine Corps officer school in Quantico, Virginia, and were commissioned. The First Anglico teams contributed greatly to the protection of the ground troops and the success of the korean War.
