Looking for any info regarding that horse.She was a deserter from the
Chinese.Came through a minefield carrying Chinese comm wire. She became the
mascot of the 1st Provisional Platoon. She was eventually used to carry C-
rations and water up to O.P.Martini. When we left in March of'55 we had to
leave her behind.We were replaced by units of the Army's 24th Infantry Div. A
MSGT from the unit assured us he was a country boy and would take good care of
her. I always wondered what her eventual fate was.
