I spent about nine months on the Imjin River banks and MLR with the
1stAmTracBn, 1952-1953. I was a squad leader in charge of a hill. We
were "dismounted" and made defensive machine gun companies along the
river, north of Seoul.
The LVTs were of little use after Inchon. I also played on the division
special service show, "Hillbilly Hayride," in case any of you saw it.
