Comments: I wasn't in the 160th Infantry, I was a 40th Div. M.P. Our 40th Div.
Combat M.P. Company planned, organized and moved different units from
place to place regularly so the enemy wouldn't be sure of their locations.
We also handled prisoners of war taking them back from the front lines
for confinement and questioning. It was dangerous work. Once the truce
was declared we patrolled the line between our and the enemy's territory.
I'm going on 80 years old now and I still remember that I thought, in my
early 20's, that I wouldn't see my next year's birthday.

Comments: Homer Lowell Anderson, age 82, passed away on Monday, July 11, 2011, following a courageous battle with Parkinsons disease.
Homer proudly served his country as a radio operator in the U.S. Army during the Korean War from 1951 to 1953.
As a civilian, he worked as a letter carrier for 33 years. After retiring, he volunteered at Long Beach Memorial Hospital. He was an active member of First Baptist Church of Lakewood.
Homer adopted many people into his life and is thought of as a father and grandfather to so many more than his immediate family. His love for pancakes with real maple syrup and strawberry ice cream are legendary. He had a funny sense of humor and often made us groan with his puns. He was friendly and could approach anyone, anywhere. He was a simple man and lived his life without an ATM card, cell phone or computer.
Homer is survived by his devoted wife, Darlene Anderson, his three daughters: Reta Anderson, Pam DiSalvo and Kelly Anderson, his grandchildren, and so many who called him friend.
A memorial will be held on Monday, July 18 at 2:00 p.m. at the First Baptist Church of Lakewood.

He has passed away, and I am working on a story about his life to share with our family. I am his daughter, and was with him when he passed. He did not share any of his experiences of Korea, but I know he had been deeply affected by his time there. His brother Bill Whitehead was also in Korea at the same time serving as a Medic. I would like to know where he was, and what happened to any of his unit while they were there. I have a few pictures with the names of Viscanti (PA), Sheares (MS), Mursewki, Slat, Rod, and Williams (CA) I am thinking these are guys he was with while in Korea.

Comments: Hello all,
First I would like to thank our veterans for their service to this great nation. We would not be where we are today, nor enjoy the privileges we currently do if not for your sacrifices.
I am writing to try to find information on a jeep and its driver(s). The jeep is currently in restoration, and is clearly marked 40-I-160I B-35. These are the original markings. If my research is correct, I believe I am commenting in the right place. This jeep was delivered 8/53, so it is a post-war jeep, but not by much. This is likely the reason it remained in the US.
As a collector and restorer of military vehicles, I am very adamant they be restored correctly and cared for properly. These machines are a major source of our military's history, and those vehicles well maintained will last generations. I feel it is extremely important, then, to accurately represent them as they were used.
In short, I seek pictures of this particular jeep if there are any. Better yet, I would like to hear from any of its drivers or passengers if they are still with us.
This jeep is a model MD, designated M38A1, and was delivered in August of 1953. It belonged to the 40th Infantry Division, 160th Infantry Regiment, Bravo Company, and was vehicle 35. From what I can tell, at various points in its service, it was equiped with a M31C machinegun pedestal mount, and a dash-mounted verticle rifle mount just left of the data plates. It was repainted 24087 OD green likely in 1957 and received a new engine at some point in the mid 1960's.
If anyone has any information or pictures pertaining to this particular jeep, I would greatly appreciate an email. If anyone is interested and would like to see pictures of it in its current state, I will gladly provide them for their records.
Thank you again,
Dan

He was in what was called the Sunshine Division (National Guard out of California). He was a rifleman (later on in mortar) in the 40th Division, 160th Regiment, Charlie Company, 4th platoon. His commanding officer was Captain Hardy. Sargent Archibald McClain was his platoon leader in the 4th mortar section. He also remembers a Captain Clark from Baker Company who was with him on Heartbreak Ridge and Sargent Berry. After Heartbreak Ridge his company was sent to Koje-Do Island to guard prisoners but he was sent to headquarters and became General Maxwell Taylor's personal honor guard. I'm interested in hearing from anyone who served the same time as he did and passing the information on to him.

Comments: My dad was in the Kumsong area. I am trying to locate where hill 747 is,
so that I can have a better idea of where he was involved in combat. He
was 1st Lt. Thomas W. Thompson. He was in combat from Dec 51-May
52, and then was officer over 160th Service Company in the Punchbowl.
Thanks.

He has never talked much about his military experience and we were looking to find out some information. Most of his documentation has been lost and or destroyed. My father has become very ill and we are trying to gather information for him and present him with a shadow box present for christmas containing all of his service ribbons and/or decorations. Her would like to hang his next to the one of my decortations and medal I gave him from my military experence and law enforcement. thanks and God Bless

Comments: As a Combat MP we weren't actually part of specific battles, except as
the
guys who went up to the front lines to pickup any prisoners and take
them back behind-the-lines to places where they were held
temporarily,
before being shipped further back, behind-the-lines to the actual
prison
camps. While we were moving units, mostly at night, if the enemy got
wind of it we'd get some mortar pot-shots taken at us. But because
the
object of what we were doing was to be very careful and quiet so the
enemy wouldn't know what was going on, that didn't happen very
often.
Towards the end of my tour in Korea the "truce" was being negotiated
and things quieted down a lot. Once, on patrol, a sniper took a couple
of
shots at us, but he only hit the jeep. We took cover, fired a few shots
ourselves and then got away. I don't have a lot of "war stories" to tell, I
just did my job.
Keywords: I was inducted into the Army on 22 Oct 1952 and released from active
duty on 20 Aug 1954. My job in Korea was as a 40th Div. Combat MP,
MOS-1677. We were the guys that moved units from place to place,
mostly at night, so the enemy wouldn't know what was where. My
partner
was a guy with bright red hair who's last name was Leader. As you can
guess, he was known to everybody as Red Leader. I've tried to think of
some of the other names of people I met, but while I can remember
some
of the faces, at age 76, the names elude me. If anyone who served
with
me is still alive, it would be fun to e-mail talk to you.
