Comments: My great grand uncle, Fredrick Keala Akina was part of this Infantry. A photo of the Infantry would be great. Fredrick was born on 1931 and was KIA (Killed in action) on June 17, 1952 in Korea. He had a fiancé and they were about to get married after his service since she was pregnant with his child Fredrick Jr. She married to another man years after the death of her partner. No one in the family knows what happened to his Purple Heart, don't know his life story, and don't have a photo of him. His fiancé died in 2003 and his son died in 2000. Many of his sibling have already died but two of his brothers still live one (my great grandpa) (95) has Alzheimer's since 2015 and the youngest brother (80) has dementia and is living in California at a Retirement home. God bless our fallen hero's just god bless them.

He was badly wounded on Feb. 8, 1952 and spent months in hospitals recuperating. He received the Silver Star and the Purple Heart. He would not talk about his time in Korea, so we know little of what happened there. It is our understanding that he and some others were sent out to scout. The group was ambushed and all but two of them were killed. My father then carried the only other survivor back to their unit. Dad told Mom this story only once 65 years ago, so I cannot vouch for its accuracy. I would love to have more information about this if anyone has it.

Incident between Feb and May 1953.
See: Between the months of February and May in 1953 I was hospitalized and bedridden in a M.A.S.H. united. I was in a coma for about 2 weeks and I remember the doctor saying "welcome back we thought we lost you" when I work from the coma. I was then flown to a hospital in Japan and still bedridden there. I don't know how long I was in that hospital but it seemed like at least a month. When I re-cooperated they asked me where I wanted to go and I said back to my unit. When I returned to my unit I was told by the commanding officer that I had been reported as killed in action and all my paperwork was sent to Washington. If there are any witnesses who oversaw my encounter with the North Koreans please contact me as my DD-214 lists "None" as to wounds received as a result of action with enemy forces.

Williams and he served in Korea during 1952 and 1953 to my knowledge. He was also on the front during part or all of that time. I am not sure. I have information that he was a private during part of the time, but I was told when he left the army he was a staff sergeant--I do not know when or how he was promoted, it may have been during the war. He was wounded in battle on or around the Mundong-Ni Valley in 1952, and that is about all that I know about his service during the Korean War.
He was always very quiet about his military experiences so I do not know that much about it, but I would love to find out more information! I have a few pictures from his time in the war, but they do not have anyone else's names on them so I do not know who he served with.

Keywords: Chaplain Robert Crane on March 11, 1952 had concluded
a worship service for a unit of the 160th Inf. Reg.
near Kumsong, N. Korea. His driver was chaplain's
assistant Kenneth Berry. An incoming artillery round
hit their Jeep, killing the chaplain and seriously
wounding Berry. Chaplain John Lindvall was another
chaplain in the Regement, along with assistants Doyle
Sullens and Bobby Conner. Lindvall and Sullens are
deceased. Does anyone remember the chaplains and
their assistants? Wayne Warner: mohawk1951@att.net

Comments: I am a 20 yr Vet, U.S. Navy. My father was Joseph E.
Coleman and was stationed with the Co. I Infantry
Korea from Jan 1952 to Jan 1953. I am trying to find
out info on his service time in Korea. He passed away
in 1996 and my mom has just recently been told that
the unit was deployed to an area in Korea that was
sprayed with Agent Orange and that this was what
caused my dad to be sick after coming back from
Korea. Does anyone out there have any info that
might help me. All I know is that my dad was on a
hill for seven months and was thankful to get home.
Thanks!

Reyes. He was a member of Company B, 160th Infantry
Division. He passed on February 21st, 2012 on his
birthday at the age of 81. He was very proud to have

knew him knew this. He was also proud that his two
sons are both Navy Vertans of 20+ years.

Comments: I was up at Camp Roberts California on one of the
live fire ranges. On the back side of the concrete
bunkers I noticed the names of dozens soldiers dating
from the late 40's through the 50's. Some listed home
towns,dates, units, etc. It was good to see them the
continuing line of soldiers.

Comments: My grandfather, Cpl. James H. Hardway, was wounded in
action on March 12, 1952, but was never awarded a
Purple Heart at the time. After submitting evidence
of his injury, the U.S. Army conferred the honor on
Jan. 18, 2012 -- some 60 years later.
