Burmingham with a U as it often gets misspelled. His remains were never found. I cannot
get anyone to help me find a photo or service record, yet I know it exists. His name is
listed on a Korean War memorial in Camden, NY. Yet no one will offer any record or

I think he might have loaned it to one of his war buddies at a reunion for them to make a copy and never go the original back - we can't find it in his possessions. He passed away in 2016. His name is Bill Garrette Haltom and his good buddy was Victor Fox. He received a Purple Heart, 3 Bronze Battle Stars, He and his buddy "Fox" are mentioned many times in Donald Knox's book The Korean War An Oral History Pusan to Chosin. If there is anyone who has a copy of this missing photo or any photos of his Company I - I would like a copy.

I'm looking for anything related to this:

OK, I was in Korea from August to Thanksgiving day November 19, 1951 with L Co, 5th Cav
Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division. The Chinese had just joined with the North Koreans and were
pushing us down the penisula. I was a part of a massive troop effort to prevent them from
taking all of Korea. I joined the Cav just North of Pusan (southern tip of Korea). I rode
a troop train North maybe 50 miles and then I hoofed it from there. We were involved
immediately with the enemy with our goal to push them back North. This was ongoing and I
remember going through the town of Souel. In November I remember we were in the hills like
the Olympics having to fight for every mile as we proceeeded North. On Thanksgiving day
1951, I was air evacuated to Japan with Hemorrhagic Fever.

Arnolds brother, William Hunt of Revillo SD, was my Grandfather who recently passed away. I inherited a .22 rifle that I recently found was Arnold's and passed to my Grandfather after Arnolds death.
Any information would be helpful.

Comments: I'm trying to find any information I can on my Grandfather's service. His name was Norman Bradtmueller and he was from Fort Wayne, Indiana. He passed away in 2004 and I always knew he served in the Army during the Korean War but I never knew any more details. While working on my genealogy, I decided to try and learn more about my Grandfather's service. Thanks to a newspaper clipping that my Grandma saved I learned he was in the 1st Cavalry Division's 5th Regiment so I've been trying to learn more information about the regiment in hopes of gaining a better understanding of what my Grandfather did in the war. My Grandma suffers from mild dementia so she doesn't remember very much. My father said that Grandpa didn't talk much about his service but he thought he was a radio operator stationed in Japan. I have a picture of my Grandfather taken on a mountain (or volcano) while in Japan. Looking at the timeline of the 5th Regiment, it looks like my Grandfather probably never stepped foot on Korean soil as based on other records I think his deployment occurred during 1952 which is when the regiment was on Hokkaido, Japan, which fits what I have been told.

I also have some other photos that appear to be taken while in Japan and a few last names are written on the back of them: Schoenkel, Burket, Frost, Dobson, Caraway, Parker, Neu. If you may be related to anyone with that last name, please contact me and I can share the pictures.

Obviously any records or memories specifically of my Grandfather would be amazing, but any specific details about the 5th Regiment's activities during 1952 would also be very helpful!

Thank you!

My Grandfather was wounded in Chorwon on 26 October 1951. He like many others has not spoken about his service until recently. He is a VFW member and always gives his trip to DC away to a more deserving veteran... So this September, I am taking him to DC to see the memorials and Arlington. He really wants to pay respects to others that were in his duty assignment, but he can't remember names (everyone has a nickname) and he wasn't there long before being injured and sent to Japan. His name is George Shauger. I do not know of any nicknames. He believes he remembers someone by the name of Tapperson, which today in a search, I see a Frederic Tapperson who also was injured on 26 October, but did not make it. Mr. Tapperson was from 1st Cav, Div Infantry, CV DIV Cav Regt Inf Unit 0005 from the site on which I found him - so it's not a match for Div/Unit etc. If you have names/information of anyone in H Company 5th Cav deployed in Sept/October 1951 that is alive, passed, potentially in Arlington that we can honor while visiting next month, please let me know.
Thank you.

I was told many times by my father & grandmother that Bobby was not killed in Korea. He was actually at home on leave, March 14, 1951, when he was killed. Bobby was trying to help a woman who was being robbed at gun-point. The gun was turned on him, he was shot & then died. My mother has even told me this over the years. It's disturbing, as everywhere I read, it shows he was KIA in Korea. Hoping someone that served with him could tell me if they remember him clearly dying in Korea or not. Many thanks in advance.

Comments: I am the niece of PFC Herbert LaVerne Bradford, who was killed in action on Oct. 4th, 1951. I never met him, since I was born in July, 1951, before he was killed. I am currently living in South Korea, teaching in an International school in Incheon. I am trying to find out exactly where he died or where the battle took place in which he was killed. I would like to explore this area and any Korean information I can find about this battle. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.

By the way he is buried at New Home Cemetery, Farrington Township, Jefferson county, Illinois, not in Stratton, Illinois. Please change your records. Thank you.
