Comments: I am searching for info on what specific battles my deceased father Richard Ira Philips might have participated in during the Korean War. He was shipped from Japan to Korea for combat duty in July 1950 and was hospitalized for severe frostbite in December 1950, then returned to combat duty in March 1951. He served with the 27th Infantry Regiment Wolfhounds.
Thankyou for any information you can provide!

Comments: My grandfather, Peter Burke, served in Korea, Fox co., 2nd bn, 27th Wolfhounds. He passed just before Christmas of this year. Curious of any remembrances, anyone who may have known him. He was wounded at the Battle of the Chongchon river but continued to serve throughout the war. Beyond that, he rarely spoke about the war. It's a long shot, as I know so many of his generation are no longer with us, but I wanted to reach out just in case. Thank you.

Comments: I'm looking up information on my grandfather Albert Cole. Everything I have on him points to him being a member of F Company 27th Infantry Regiment. His Award Order for the Purple Heart that was published on 12 December 1950 states: SGT Albert Cole of F Company 27th infantry wounded 27 November 1950 near Pyongyang. From what i've researched he most likely was at the battle of the Chongchon River. From other stories related to me at some point during his evacuation he fell off the vehicle carrying him out and ended up in a ditch for several hours and wasn't fount until much later suffering from frostbite in addition to wounds sustained in battle. I would love to piece together more details about his service in Korea.

Comments: Gilbert Repetto, the son of immigrant parents Estephan and Bastina, passed away on April 2nd, 2020 at the age of 91. He was born in New York City in 1928 and raised in Weehawken, New Jersey. He was predeceased by his wife Maureen Repetto and survived by his sons Gilbert Repetto Jr. of Blairstown, New Jersey, David Repetto of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and his godson, Neil Wright of Vienna, Virginia.

Gilbert was a loving husband, a dedicated father, a proud grandpa and a loyal friend. His charisma, perseverance and work ethic allowed for him to excel in many aspects of his life. As a young adult he was drafted to serve in the Korean War. His bravery and strong leadership skills paved the way for him to become Sergeant with the “Wolfhounds” (Nec Aspera Terrent or No Fear on Earth) 27th Army Infantry Regiment. In later years, while sharing stories about his time spent during the war, he would always say, “I’m glad I had the experience, but I wouldn’t want to do it again – Not even for a million dollars.”

He also talked about Hill 538 and the Koje-do riot in February of 1952. His service records were lost in the St Louis fire, and his children destroyed all of his pictures and momentos after his death.

Comments: My father, John A. Abernathy [9-14-28 to 03-18-00] was a Wolfhound. That's about the only thing that I know about his service in Korea.

He was living in Chattanooga, TN when he was drafted by the US Army [approx. March 1951].

He went to Ft. Jackson, SC for basic training. In the summer of 1951 [July?] he traveled by train from Ft. Jackson to Chicago; and then from Chicago to Seattle.

He boarded a troop transport in Seattle. I don't know for sure whether the ship stopped off in Japan on the way to Korea. He arrived in Korea during the summer [August?] of 1951. I don't know how long he served in Korea, or where he was, but he definitely saw combat.

My father never talked about his experiences in Korea, so I was reluctant to ask any questions, even though I was very curious.

I found out years after he died, [from my Uncle], that my father was awarded a medal in Korea. My father was never wounded, so it couldn't have been the Purple Heart. Could it have been the Bronze Star?

I have so many questions that I hope to get answers to. A few of them:


* Does anybody remember a John Abernathy from Chattanooga, TN?

* Where did the Wolfhounds serve in Korea from summer 1951 to mid-to-late 1952?

* Is there any way that I could get the names of troop transports that departed from Seattle, WA in the summer of 1951?

* Do the Army have the names of *all* men that were awarded medals?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I regret not asking more of him while he was around about him time in the army although I was young at the time. I am currently an E-5 Sergeant in the Army serving in Korea. My grandfather was my main motivation to enlist and serve my country. I am trying to do research and learn more of his whereabouts during his time in Korea as well as more info on his unit. I believe he was either in the 25th infantry or 27th infantry division. All that my grandmother remembers in the nickname, Wolfhounds. I believe he was a 81 mm mortar man. My grandmother also told me that the ship he arrived to Korea on was named General Black. Anything will help.

Thank you all for your brave service,

Comments: I am trying to find information for Robert Eugene Willits. He enlisted in Mar, 1949 and was discharged 25 June, 1953.

Mr Willits first served in the Korean War with HQ Battery 25th Division Artillery as a surveyor. He was injured on return from Taegu. After he was well enough to go back out, he asked to transfer to the 27th Infantry where he and a B.J. Williams were put with G Company and another Soldier, Bob became an FO and was killed in action.

Mr Willits was injured as he creasted hill 101 at the Mason Pusan Perimeter with steel entering the side of his face. He was patched up from this and sent back out.

While on another attack, he was told that a motar shell or artillery hit a tree above him. He remembers being put on a truck or train and someone named Lefty telling him he was a lucky SOB.

To this day, the above is all he can remember. If you knew Mr. Willits, please contact me. I am trying to obtain as much information for him as possible for the time he has lost in his memory for this period of time.

Comments: Trying to find information about my father, Shelton Joseph LeBlanc and his tenure during Korean War. I have a newspaper article from the Mid-County Chronicle in Port Neches, TX dated December 13, 1951. The article states that my dad was awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge for close-quarter fighting with the enemy while serving in Korea. He passed away when I was 10 so I have very little information regarding his military service.
