I have many, many pictures of my father some while he was at camp Pendleton and many more while in Korea. I also have a picture with my father standing by a sign in Korea that read: Mike Battery, 4-11, forward Howitzer. Not sure what that all meant but also a picture that someone wrote on it pointing out places called, Punch Bowl, Heartbreak Ridge, and Seoul. Anyone that can help me with who the men are in these pictures would be greatly appreciated. I will be happy to scan them, or copy and send them to anyone interested.

I enlisted Feb 51, was in Plt 138 at PI. Sgt Harper, cpl Kerton were the DI's. We were in the barracks in front of the parade ground, except for the rifle range. Went to Pendleton, then on to the 11th Marines in Korea on the 11th draft.
