Comments: I am still attempting to determine the Company assignment of PVT. PERLEY L. BURDICK, OF COVENTRY, WASHINGTON COUNTY, RHODE ISLAND. Perley was twice WIA while serving in Korea. On 27 FEBRUARY 1951, & again on 31 AUGUST 1951. He appears to have served only during 1951, & was Discharged home to CONUS shortly after his 2nd time being WIA. Other than the 17th INFANTRY REGIMENT, 7TH DIVISION, I have not been able to determine which particular Company he was assigned to ? If anyone happens to know anything regarding this issue, I would DEEPLY APPRECIATE hearing from them. Sadly, Perley passed away back in 1985 at only 53 years of age. Although I can't be absolutely certain, I firmly believe his early passing was directly related to his wounds suffered in Korea. I remain hopeful that somewhere there simply must be some Roster or mention of his Company assignment, yet after 20+ years, I am still searching for it. ANY ASSISTANCE will deeply very much appreciated. THANK YOU

Best regards, Dom Pastore Jr.

PLEASE HELP !! I'm attempting to determine the Company ( & / or Battalion) asignment
of a soldier who served with the 17th Inf. Regt. during the Korean War era, 1950 -
1954. His name was; PVT.(E-2) PERLEY L. BURDICK, asn ER-22810252, from Washington
County, Rhode Island. He had just turned 19 years old when was WIA for the first
time. Perley passed away back on Aug. 9, 1985. I'm positive he was in the 17th, but I
can't seem to determine which Company he was assigned to. He served from Nov. 6, 1950
to Oct. 18, 1951. He was twice WIA while with the 17th, on Feb. 21, 1951 & again on
Aug. 31, 1951. ( He was in the Hospital for 9 weeks from the 2/27/51 wound, & for 3
weeks from the 8/31/51 wound. )IF ANYONE HAS A 17th INF. UNIT HISTORY OR ROSTER,
WOULD THEY PLEASE SEE IF THEY CAN LOCATE A PVT. PERLEY L. BURDICK. ( Burdick = last
name) I've been seeking his Company assignment now for over a year, but to no avail.
I'm interested in ANY information available about Pvt. Burdick, no matter how trivial
it may appear. (As we all know, every little bit helps!!) If anyone thinks that they
may be able to assit me, PLEASE e-mail me at; dpast32@aol.com.

Comments: I'm hoping to find information or direction in further researching my father's service in Korea. I lost him to cancer in 1982.

My research indicates his initial landing was at Inchon, then traveled to Seoul. His 2nd landing was at Iwon, then traveled up to the Yalu River.

He was awarded the Silver Star for action on 11/2/50. He was a mortar squad leader who turned back a surprise rear attack on his company whIle moving forward to establish a new firing location.

My research shows his initial Company Commander was Capt Gruenther, until he was wounded, then Capt Raymond Harvey assumed Company Command. Capt Harvey received the Medal of Honor during that command.

Any help, documents, pics, video would be greatly appreciated. God Bless our Hero's

Comments: Looking for information regarding my father Charles F. Luke. He served in Korea and from what I can make out he was in the 17th in the 7th Company H.
He turns 93 in November and his mind is as sharp as can be, but he has never wanted to talk about Korea and basically will divert any conversation on the subject.
Info I have is a letter to a family member with the return best I can tell as:
Sgt. Charles Luke (Probably when by Charlie)
COH - 17th Inf Regt - APO #7
(I think the next line indicates letter is care of postmaster San Francisco)

Top of the enclosed letter says:
Korea
Old Baldy
Jan 1953

Only one line in the letter refers to the war "We’re back up front now and it’s sure cold."

It does look like the company he was in had soldiers from maybe Korea & other countries fighting along with the them. I also have about 10 pictures, one which is what I am assuming is his company in a group photo on top of a scarred hilltop, maybe "Old Baldy".

Thanks!


(It's possible the 17 is a 19, but I think it's 17)
