My grandfather, Robert Sholle, served in Korea between the end of July 1951 until March of 1952.
He trained at Camp Breckenridge, KY and Fort Benning, GA and was deployed to Korea during the beginning of the assault on Hill 266, "Old Baldy". In the Fall of '51, he was transferred to Koje-Do island, after a major riot had occurred at the prison, as part of the reorganizing of security forces. After that, he was transferred back to the front lines (near Chorwon) with the 2nd Infantry Div, around Jan./Feb. 1952, where he served the remainder of his time in Korea. Something noteworthy he accomplished during his time spent there was the welding together of 4 .30 cal machine guns to a single frame, which proved an effective tactic that some of the rest of the division decided to implement. Robert "Bob" Sholle, always had a cheerful personality, and a smile to go with his talkative nature. He said one of his good friends during his time in KoREA was Phil Kolfa, a medic in his unit.
I am doing a book about his time served in the military and would greatly appreciate any information, if possible, about both him and his unit during that time including friends, unit positions, and stories.
