Ted: the 581st radio relay co. is a signal unit. From the information that I 
took off your Army listings. The unit was in the 7th infantry in the invasion 
of Inchon.

I never knew that we attached to the 7th. I understood that we were a 
bastard outfit and were used any where the 8th army needed us.We provided the 
relay stations between Seoul and Tague with link down to Pusan. 

In the summer of 52.some of us were sent to set up communicatins for the
ROK army which was engaged in operation RAT KILLER. Our base of operation
was located in a town called Namwon.
We were there about two months till it was over.I hope this info. will 
help you out on our quest 

Thanks for a great website

I served in Korea from the Inchon invasion to June of 1952.  I was in 
the Signal Corp. It was a bastard company attached to the 10 Corps
and 8th Army. 
I was in the 581 Signal Relay Company.  I operated radio relay stations
at many locations in North and South Korea. 

We landed at Inchon, Wonson and evacuated at Hungnam.

for the invasion of Inchon. as far as he knowa they were the only radio 
relay for the 7th div ( 581st)

I suppose this is an old story but here goes anyway. I was just browsing
today when all of a sudden the 581st Radio Relay Co. name caught my eye,
WOW was I surprised when reading the message, it was a call for help in
finding people that were in the 581st. The message was from Cpl. Paul
Tyler's son Jack.

Here is a list of names (no addresses) of one of the hard working teams
that worked for several different divisions in 1950 and 1951. I would
like to hear from all of them.
