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.
