Comments: The history of the 40th infantory Division in Sendai, Japan.

When the Korean War began, the 11th airborne division ,187th Parachute Infantry Regiment moved from the Camp Schimmelpfenning to the battle fields in 1950 with the related battalions. As a placement for the moved regiments, a National Guard organized in California, Nevada, and Utah were moved and stationed at Camp Schimmelpfennig, Sendai Japan.
This division was later renamed the 40th Infantry Division. However, this division stayed in this area for the 9 months and was put into the Korean War in January 1950.

Comments: My dad was an Armorer (MOS 1821) with CO L, 160th INF, 40th ID. His name was Enrico Rocchetti, and he was from New London CT. He was drafted - and was one of the first to be drafted - since he was a WWII retread - and an inactive US Navy reservist at the time of his call-up.

In Oct 1950 he was stationed at Camp Cook in California. In March of 1951, the 160th deployed to Japan, and I believe he was stationed at Camp Zama, and at Camp Haugen. In Dec 1951 he deployed to Korea and was stationed at forward operating bases in the Kumsong-Chwapae-ri sector and the Kumwha-Kumsong sector on the central front (near present-day Pyonggang North Korea). I believe this area was referred to as the “Iron Triangle”.

I am not sure when he left Korea - I think it might have been in late June or Early July of 1952.

I have a box full of his pictures, memos, notes, and newspaper clippings that I'd be interested in sharing with anybody who may have served with him.

Dad's time in the military. Dad was a cook with the

wrote an lengthy article for the hometown newspaper as
well as many letters to family and friends, which I
have. He was inducted on 1 September 1950 and received
his separation papers in September 1952. One of his
fondest moments was to attend the unveiling of the
Korean War Memorial in Washington, D.C. Dad rarely
discussed his time in Korea, but when he did it was
quite emotional and with deep respect for his fellow
troops. I would love to make contact with
anyone in his Company H or their surviving family members.

Also, we are having a hard time with his VA benefits, as the records building burned down in the 70's. The VA is insisting we provide his records...which we cant b/c they burned up in the fire.

I have many photos of dad with a bunch of names on the back. I see that dad hung around with a group of guys that are captioned inthe back as: Tuck, Greer, Red and Monroe. Most of the photos have Tuck and Greer and dad in them. One photo says, "Our cook, Cpl. Stackhouse.. that really is his name".. Dad's handwriting is sometimes hard to read so I wouldn't be suprised if it was Cpl. Steakhouse. If anyone knows any of these men please get back to me. Thanks
