Comments: My dad, Lester C. Tarlton served in the A Btry 623d FA Bn from 53 to 54. He gained the rank of Sgt (T) in April 54 and received an honorable discharge in 54. My dad was very proud of his service but he never really spoke much about it to me. I know that at one time he worked in the motor pool. He mentioned that he and fellow soldiers would race jeeps and deuce and a halfs. I remember he told me that the deuce and a halfs always won because the jeeps were to light to make it up hills or rough terrain. Anyway, I would love to hear if anyone knew him or has any info on him. Thank you!

He appears to be an E6 and is standing by a 155mm artillery piece. The back of the picture says 623rd fa bn. Does anyone know anything about him?

Comments: My father served in the 623rd in Korea. His name was William Paul Graham, and went by Paul. He was a minister, and he said that some in his unit referred to him as Preacher Boy. His highest rank was Sgt. Dad spoke very little about his time in Korea. If you know anything about him, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Comments: I was a draftee assigned to the 623 and served in Korea from 1/1952 to 7/1953. Received orders to return 3 days after the armistice. Chief of section and did much firing. We replaced Kentucky guardsmen who were short timers and anxious to return. I was told their commander offered the Guard for korea and he had to return a few months after arriving. It didn't sit well with the men. Our unit was intergrated and we had a black track driver named Hazelwood. It was no problem with our crew.
Returned to US the only draftee to make SFC on the ship. I have many pictures and fond memories.

Comments: I was a Korean civilian in A Battery, commanded by Captain Pace. In the summer of 1952, ROK 7th Division initiated an offensive operation, and I vlunteered to go with the forward observer team attached to a ROK Battalion. We marched all day and, in late afternoon, we forded a river. The Chinese Force gave us a substantial mortar barage and everybody hopped through the river like rabbits, and climbed into a hill. I had an attack of leg cramp and had no choice but to stay in the water, being left behind. After the barage, I hobbled out of the water, and tried to scale the hill on on leg. A young forwaard observer, a young RA Lieutenant, put me on his back and carried me piggy-back up the hill. ROKs were very impressed by the compassionate act.
Some serenaded us by singing "My Old Kentucky Home."

Time has gone by and I am getting old, and I do not even remember his name. I think the name of the radio operator was "Wilson." I never thanked him, and it has been bugging me.

Wherever he may be today, I would like to say "thank you" to him. Without him, I could have been left behind somewhere in that valley
They cancelled the operation next day, and we came back in one piece.

Thank you, Lieutenant!
