Comments: An organized and armored Task Force of 23 US Army
tanks in a regimental column, made up of M-46 tanks of
the 6th.Battalion,"D" Company, and M4A3 tanks from the
70th.Tank Battalion, with men from L/3/5 aboard the
tanks on the move. The tanks ran with 50-yard
intervals between them. South of Chipyong-ni, the tank
column entered a 150-yard long deep road-cut, with
steep embankments 30-feet high, and on the right(east)
side was Hill-397. There was a sudden flare-up of CCF
gun-fire. The CCF hit the tank column with mortars,
(American) bazookas,bangalore torpedoes,satchel
charges,grenades, and small arms. A bazooka round
struck the point tank, hitting the top of the turret,
wounding tht tank commander LT.Lawrence
L.DeSchweinitz,the gunner CPL.Donald P.Harrell, and
the loader PVT.Joseph Galard, but the tank, as well
as SFC.James Maxwell's 2nd., and the 3rd. tank all
cleared the cut. The 4th.tank had a bazooka round
penetrate the armor, and explode the ammunition in the
ready racks inside the tank. The tank started to burn.
The men in the fighting compartment, CPT.Johnnie M.
Hiers(6th.Tank Battalion"D" Company Commander), CPL.
John E.Trautman, and PFC.Micheal Lamagna were killed.
The tank driver, CPL.John A.Calhoun was severely
burned, but heroically kept the tank going, until it
cleared the cut, thus leaving a clear path for the
remaining tanks in the column, which ran this
murderous gauntlet without loss, and moved on to save
the garrison at Chipyong-ni.-------------------------

Headquarters was at South Camp Fuji, although some of our companies were spread out in Japan to support other units of the 24th. In the fall of '52. we were moved to Camp McNair, on the side of Fuji, where our entire unit assembled. In June of 53, we were ordered to return to Korea. Heavy rains and volcanic ash made our movement down from Fuji to Numazu, where we loaded the Battalion on an LST, a treacherous trip. I was due to rotate back to the ZI, but I had the Personnel Sgt. Major pull my records, and I was in the last vehicle to load on. In late July, the armistice was signed and I headed home. There were some great officers and great NCO's in the Battalion, but, we had some duds too. Tom Grubbs
