Charles C. Smith

Written in 2009, the book traces the life of Charles from Hammons and Bull Forks in Kentucky. The author continues to live in Louisville, Kentucky.


His unit was B Company of the 29th Infantry Regiment, one of the ill-fated companies sent into battle, not fully prepared nor equipped, to the fateful location of Hadong and Anui, South Korea, commencing July 27th, 1950.


The name; "The Straggglers" is the author's phrase for the remnants of survivors from the terrible events of that late July weekend, in the hot and dusty hills of South Korea.


Many men went missing or taken prisioner, the rest escaped the trap as best they could. This is Charles' reccollection of events.
