Comments: Chong B Lee (Yi) was a Korean civilian interpreter stationed with I Company and was wounded at Hansan (near Busan) Korea around August 1950. He spent 2 weeks in the 5th Army Hosp before returning to duty. I am trying to find information and documentation to help his wife establish his duty and wound to help her collect a disability pension from Korea.

Comments: Looking for anyone that knew my dad, 85 years old who was wounded On November 28, 1950, he was defending a hill near Parwon Myon, North Korea when his position was overrun. Found an account that goes like this Beginning about 3p.m. on 27 November, Chinese assault troops drove in K and L Company outposts. The combat quickly became hand-to-hand in places, especially in K Company. Lieutenant Hinewood, a forward observer with K Company for the mortar company, had a fist fight with a Chinese soldier. Captain Hughes, K Company commander, stayed with his men two hours after being wounded. K Company held its lines against repeated enemy attacks and quickly sealed off one enemy penetration and subsequently restored its own position. An estimated two Chinese Regiments assaulted the 2nd and 3rd battalions of the 35th Infantry during the night, withdrawing from the battle only with the coming of dawn. Alter daylight, a great many Chinese dead could be seen in front of the company perimeters. The dead were especially numerous in front of K Company. There were 374 counted enemy dead and an estimated 600 Chinese soldiers killed from the defensive fires and fighting of the 35th during the night. Six Chinese prisoners were captured, all from the 117 Division, 39th Army.

Brig. Gen. George B. Barth later stated that the stand of K Company in hurling back repeated Chinese attacks probably averted a major disaster. The Chinese attacks against it were persistent because that is where the Chinese command intended to open a penetration. More than a division of enemy troops, about 10,000, according to prisoner information, stood ready behind the assault teams to pour through the penetration into the rear of the 35th into the rear of the infantry lines if K company had broken.

Comments: My late father Bill Whit Whitten, out of Windsor Locks, Conn, served with the 25th Infantry division, in the 35th infantry regiment in Korea, during the spring (maybe winter too) of 1953. He was a combat veteran, any information from people who served with or near my dad would be greatly appreciated. We talked about the war but since his death in 2009, I have become interested in the activities of his company. His old buddy's name was Chuck Conner (s), hailing from NY state, I think.
After the war he couldn't eat red meat, would hit the dirt if fireworks went off close by without warning, and once broke a hunters rifle against a tree when he let off a shot 10 feet behind us while we were fishing. He was a gentleman and that was absolutly out of character. In other words the war affected him well into the 1970s if not the rest of his life.

if the person was related to the rancher of the same name who in the late 1800s
excavated Mesa Verde in SW Colorado. He wrote back with very little info. that did not
