Comments: Looking for anyone who recalls the M-45 tanks
assigned to 31 Regt. These were the old M-26
Pershings refitted with 105 howitzers for infantry
support.

Some sources say only 6th Tk Bn 24th Div had them
but I recall seeing them at Tong du chon (Camp
Casey)...up the road from Tank Co, 31st Inf Regt
before they reclassified us to Co E 2 MBT 40th
Armor.

Service or Relationship: Army Veteran

Comments: Arrived in Korea mid Sept 1956, Tong-du-chon. We were redisignated Co E 2 MTB 40 Armor when the Army went pentomic and sent to Camp beavers...we had to completely level the hill and build the company area, diassembling our quanset huts and reassembling (a joke) them at Beavers. We had beat up M-46s but they were good, solid tanks. In Apri/May of 58, we got M-47s and I left in August. I'm looking for war history of the tank Co and TO and E. I believe it was 73th Tk Bn and had either M-26 or Easy 8 Shermans.

Be happy to hear from anyone.

Bill
