Comments: Gentlemen:
My dad, R.C. Jarrett Jr., said he served in WWII and the Korean Conflict. He also went by "Pete."
He passed away recently, and I want to know if he ever served.
His sister had no recollection of my dad serving, but he always told me he did.
He said any evidence of his serving in Korea was probably burned up in a fire at the NARA facility in St. Louis.
While I've found some bits and pieces, an honorable discharge from the U.S. Army in 1946 from Fort Ord, I haven't found out anything about his service in Korea.
I am not even certain what unit he was in, but figure it was probably infantry, possibly a reserve unit.
Thank you.

Comments: My father led a patrol (1st platoon) from Hill 200 to the top of Pork
Chop Hill. Not sure when, but he said the lows were in the 20s at the
time. The patrol left at 2100 hrs. There were 4 checkpoints on top of
PCH. A,B,C and D. Checkpoint A was the large bunker on the top. They
were hoping to grab some Chinese prisoners. No Chinese were found
on top. They came down the south side of PCH and once down they
were ambushed and they had some casulties.
Does anybody remember this.
