Looking for information, stories, and/or pictures related to The battle of Masan or anyone that had contact with my grandfather Paul R. Kelly, a M/SGT with Co C 5th inf regt that joined with the 25th Repl Co. on 21Aug50, according to his service log. He was WIA, on the 26Aug50 by enemy hand grenade framents that cripled his hand. Two hours later he was also hit by enemy mortar shell blast, and air lifted to Osaka AH, then transferred to US Naval Hospital, Great Lakes, IL on 1Oct50, from there he was sent to CP Atterbury, IN on 14Jun51. He would later survive his injuries after 2 yrs of surgeries and therapy. Retired 31Jan52. He passed 26Dec70 before i was born, so any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
