Assault Platoon

datein: Oct. 1952 dateout: Mar. 1953

I served in H&S Co. Assault Platoon Oct.1952 until Mar. 1953. I was 
returned to the U.S.because I was underage. Right before I left Korea,
we had a U.S.O. show.My platoon Sgt.R.B.Randall asked someone connected
with the show to call me on stage to congratulate me on my sixteenth
birthday in Korea.

My name is Roger Chrisley but my nick name was "Combat".If anyone knows
me, please send an e-mail to me.

Some of our missions was to plug up any holes that might happen if the
guy up north decided to come south. We really were a bastard outfit, we
didn't do anything with the company we were attached to.

The Assault Platoon had 5 medium Sherman tanks,and 2 armored personel
carriers that we used on some of our missions.We had blades on the
front of our tanks,so if we had to go somewhere and there weren't any
roads, we'd simply make one.

We had quite a bit of fire power,since the tanks were equipped with two
30 cal. machine guns,one 50 cal.and one 76 MM cannon,and each APC were
equipped with one 30 cal.and one 50 cal. We would cover tunnels,clear
mine fields,and generally take life easy.

Ha,Ha!

My name is Richard Boudreau.  During my time in Korea I had the 
nicknames of Scotty and Iron Jaw.  I saw action on Sandbag Castle,
Christmas Hill, and Old Baldy.  I was with B Company, 120th Engineer
Combat Battalion.  I took Training at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.  I went to
Korea on  the Marine Phoenix and landed at Inchon. I left Korea from
Puson on the Marine Lynx.  I drove a combat truck, B-11. 

I am interested from hearing from those who served with me during these
times.
