Comments: I was assigned to Hq. Battery, 79th Field Artillery Battalion as Battalion Liaison Officer in February, 1951 when I was captured by the Chinese Communist Army. I subsequently escaped with a Lt. from the 82nd AAA, 2nd Inf. Div and was retired from activity because of disability from wounds received at the time I was captured.
Apparently the Div. was notified of my repatriation since I am not listed as a causalty. ans would like to hear from anyone with Korean memories.

Comments: Observer Caught In Red Territory; Calls In Artillery
WITH U.S. 7th DIV, Nov. 4, 1952 (Pacific Ed. Stars and Stripes)
When Chinese Communists tooka small hill near HaMang-ni in North Korea the night of October 12, an American forward observer serving with the 9th Republic of Korea Division was trapped there alone in a collapsed bunker.
He is 2nd Lt. Eugene R. Barno, Binghampton, N.Y., of Battery A, 49th Field Artillery Battalion. "They've surrounded us and are coming up." he radioed to Ist Lt. Shelby G. Alfred, Bethany, La., when the assault began.
ALFRED CALLED for the forward observer to come back to safety, but Barno said he was pinned down by the bunker roof, "Just send more fire. Give me more fire," he insisted.
Barno had been slightly wounded by artillery and grenades but continued to call artillery fire on the hill for more than six hours until his radio went dead early in the morning.
HE HAD CALLED in more than 7,800 rounds when ROK infantrymen took back the hill near daybreak. Many had been direct hits on his own position, which killed Chinese trying to capture him.
Barno was later dug from his trap by South Koreans and evacuated to Japan for medical treatment, but is expected to rejoin his battery this week.
