Comments: I'm updating a entry from 2 years ago for William Pomerenke after further research I found out my father was promoted from company A to company C a few months before he was wounded. He was a sergeant (21 years old), and was a communication construction specialist. He was blown off a mountainside along with some other men but was lucky to be one of the few survivors.

I'm trying to put together some of his military history prior to his injuries. He is still alive today and is 86 years old. He has a album of many pictures but is not able to put names to the pictures because of the injuries he sustained. I would appreciate anyone who may have had a family member of this unit that may recall this explosion or possible identify some of the pictures he has. You may look back at some previous entries for him from 2014, and 2013.

Comments: I am doing research for my father, CPL Lawrence A. Kalina, who served in the 151st Engineer Combat Battalion, Company B. He is 88 years old. Since he is not used to using the internet, I thought I would try to help him find any remaining people from his unit, as well as information on any reunions.

He mentioned that most of his unit in Korea was from an Army national guard unit out of Huntsville, Alabama.

He served from 1950-1952.

He has an extensive amount of photos he took while with his unit which I am sure members from his unit would be interested in seeing.

Here is a link to a photo of him in Korea.

If you email me (Lawrence A. Kalina Jr.) I can relay a message to him. The phone number and address is his in Menomonie, Wisconsin.

Comments: Do not remember much about my time in Korea.
I only wish I had kept a list of names from my company.
I served with 151st Combat Eng., Company "B",
3rd Squad, Capt Jones was our Company CO. at the time, he was later transferred.
After several months with the company I learned most of the fellows were going back home so I had always thought about becoming a "cook" so the cook's took me in and taught me all they knew. Soon after I became the "mess sgt".
The name I remember the most was a cook named "Lovelace".
I remember the time we were also straffed by our own jets, they were Navy Panther Jets who were also straffing the MSR thinking a convoy of trucks were North Koreans.
Does anyone remember the fire in the old korean school house in the middle of winter?
Would like to hear from anyone who served with Company 'B", Third Platoon, Third Squad.
