Comments: My father was Frederick L. Horst and he passed away on 22 December 2009. Though we new he served in Korea dad never talked about his time there.
I have his DD214 which states that he was assigned to Co. E, 223rd Infantry Regiment, 40th Infantry Division (no Battalion nor Platton information given).
His Korea Service time was from 22 January 1952 to 3 October 1952. He received the following awards: Army Occupation Medal (Japan); Korea Service Medal w/1 Bronze Service Star; United Nations Service Medal; and the Combat Infantry Badge SO 25 HQ 223 Inf Regt.
For his MOS it lists 1745. On the Korean War Educator site there are the following descriptions listed for 1745:
Infantry first sergeant;
Light weapons infantry leader;
Light weapons platoon sergeant;
Light weapons squad leader;
Mortar section or squad leader, 60-mm;
Rifle section or squad leader, 57-mm;
Security platoon sergeant;
Security squad leader;
When dad entered the service on 8 November 1950, he was a Private E1. When he separated from the service on 27 October 1952 he was a MSGT (T), date of rank 8 May 1952. We fully understand the ramifications of how and why he rose in rank so quickly in such a short amount of time. Whenever any of us kids would ask about his time in Korea he would always shrug it off except to say that he "just" pulled a lot of guard duty and how bitterly cold it was. He would then proceed to change the subject.
My older brother said that at one point before our grandfather passed away he said that dad was a sniper during the war but would not go into further detail about it.
Sorry but though I myself am prior service (Army), I don't know enough about how the infantry is structured. Does anyone know what Echo (Easy) Company's mission was? Was it Light Weapons, Mortar Section, Rifle Section, Security?
Is there anyone out there that remembers my dad?
By the way, I have this great panoramic photograph of dad's unit prior to their departure from California. The photo is approximately 30" x 8 1/2". There are 169 individuals in the photo. The caption reads Camp Cooke (sic), California 1950. On the right end of the picture is the company flag with 2 rifles arched over 223 E.
Any assistance you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Comments: I am looking for anyone who remembers serving with Earl Powell (Roscoe Earl Powell). He was in Company B, and fought in the Punch Bowl area in the fall of 1952 as a 1st private. Earl Powell was my father (he died of luekemia in 1970). I have been told he spent time in a tank, but not sure in what capacity. He was from Indiana, and was promoted to corporal in March 1953, discharged in 1960.
