I served in charlie company from jan. 51-june-51. i
was not at kojo, however i have done some research
on the battle at kojo as charlie company took many
casualties. baker company took the brunt of the attack
as you may know. my research shows that only sgt
marcantane is missing, and corpsmen , hn 3 was
killed . the information i have is that the following
marines were killed on the night of oct. 27,1950: pfc
victor atwell, pfc george bayerfiend, sgt george brown
pfc stephen hall, cpl patrick hoolahan, pfc roy powell
sgt clayton roberts, hn3 dorin stafford, pfc edward
toto, pfc fredrick williams and pfc harry worden. pfc
ernest corin is listed as killed on oct. 30 but the
battalion was not in action at that time, he could have
died from wounds recieved on the 27th.
i see jack s fischer pvt 1026537 listed on the battllion
roster but i have not found nothing else on him, i will
continue to look for more infromation on him. i have
found that the offfical records contain mistakes. my
research may also contain errors. i will continue to
look for information on jack. keep in touch
