to Korea, he was stationed in Japan and helped found
an orphanage with the other soldiers in his regiment.
I believe he was a machine gunner, fought at Taegu,
was involved in "The Bowling Alley" and several other
battles in 1950. He contracted malaria in the summer
and frozen feet in the winter. He has spoken of Sandy
Spicer through the years. Recently, I have learned of
his heroism and became aware of the several medals he
earned during the war. He is in poor health and any

Apart from that, I don't know too much because all my information has come primarily from my father, Charles Pearcy, who isn't too sure about some things. I know my grandmother, Elizabeth Pearcy, still hears from individuals in the VFW, American Legion, and those involved with Korean War Associations about upcoming events. Still, I would like to know more about my grandfather seeing as how he most unfortunately passed away five days before my first birthday. Thank you for your input.

Comments: For the last several years my dad ha started telling me stories about his experiences in Korea. When the war started he was assigned to the 49th Ord Co in Japan and was on contact team missions to recover damaged combat vehicles. Returning from one of those missions he was stopped by a road block vic Taegu and was "drafted" by a 1sg who took his 3/4 t truck and made him a machine gunner. one of the things he has told me repeatedly is about raiding a ROK depot of some quad .50 machineguns cleaning them getting them into service and them being used to repulse NK attacks i'm assuming he's talking about the "Bowling Alley" timeframe. He says they/he killed thousands of NK's. I asked him if he was given any awards and he said no he was offered several times by the BN CDR but took promotions instead. I cannot verify that info from his DD214. I do know that the unit was awarded PUC and a ROK PUC and if I can verify he was with the 27th then I would like to know how to get those and any other awards he should or might have earned awarded to him. He does have the right campaign and UN awards for this time period. He is like all the other old soldiers and doesn't think this is a "big deal". I would also like to get any records or information about his time with the 27th if that is available. I do not have his service number but can get it this weekend since I will be visiting him. I know this is a long shot but I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Wayne Norton
