Comments: I joined the Battalion in the first draft after the 1953 Armistice. After a stint in the Bn CP, I went out to A Co, shared a tent with the Maint. Officer, WO "Goat" Martin and 1st Lt. Stan Dagget. Major "Wild Bill" Streeter was the Skipper and Capt. George Washington Caso was the Company Exec. First Sgt "Mother" Hale and T/Sgt "Gunney" Matthew Doetsch ran the Company. Staff Sgt, later Tech Sgt, Wright was the Mess Sgt.

I was then assigned as Platoon Leader for the 3rd Platoon at Montana Position. We moved from there to Washington Position and I was there until I came home on Emergency Leave in Feb. 1954. Sgt McDonald was my Platoon Sgt.

The Bn was skippered at that time by Lt. Col. Goodpasture and Major Wilson was the Exec. After separation from active duty, I stayed in the Reserve and retired as a Major.

Hi, Would like any info on KPR.  Formed in early '52,I think.   

Bill Mode,
USMC, Aug.1950-1954, KPR 1953-1954.

According to a library book-U.S.Marine Corps operations in Korea,1952
-1953, KPR was formed in March,'52.

The original units were: Hq & Svc Co;1st Armd Amphib.Bn; 5th KMC BN;
13th ROK Scty Bn; One Bn(2/7) of 1st Marine Div; A Co,1st Amtrac.Bn; 
B Co,1st Shore Pty.Bn; D Co,1st Med.Bn; 1st Recon Co; ANGLICO,
1st Sig.Bn; Some other U.S.Army detachments.

These units changed some later.  I was in KPR from Mar.1953-
May 1954,first in HQ Co,then Shore Pty Bn.after the cease fire.
