Comments: My great-uncle, Clarence Evon Dilmore, served in Company C during the Korean War and I’m trying to find information on any battles he may have participated in. He passed away back in 2008. He drove a tank, the name was something like Scrap Heap, Bucket of Bolts, or something like that, as his crew had to rebuild it. Thank you.

Comments: My step father was Captain Paul D. MacGarvey. I have been digging to know as much as I can about his military career. I know he was a commanding officer A company, 70th tank battalion. He was part of the battle for Pyongyang at least on 19 October 1950 because he was awarded a Bronze Star for his actions during that battle. I would like to know more. I am reading the other posts to learn about this amazing history considering we are having so many issues today with Pyongyang 67 years later. Thank You for to all the servicemen for your great service.

Comments: Hello all, My Great uncle Homer Lawson served in the 70th tank Battalion. I'm looking for information on him as well as any who may have served with him. I believe he was a driver in a Sherman tank. I do know he served in the Sherman as I have pictures of him in Korea with his crew sitting on the tank. Jr as we knew him or June Bug did relate a story about the Chinese dressing in US uniforms and getting into foxholes at night with the GIs and having a terrible battle. He lost his hearing in 1 ear due to having the tank he was in knocked out. Any info on Sherman tank unit markings, My Great uncle or enemy soldiers dressing in U.S. uniforms would greatly be appreciated

Comments: The 70th. Heavy Tank Battalion, honorably acclaimed as the Oldest U.S. Regular Army
Armored Battalion, nickname, THUNDERBOLTS, motto, STRIKE SWIFTLY, C.O.
LTC. William M. Rodgers, X.O. MAJ. C.J. Shaffer, S-3. MAJ. Jack R. Metzdorf, , severely
understrength, was a support unit for the Armor School at Fort Knox ,Ky, when it was alerted
for movement to San Francisco ,Ca on 07,June 1950, for deployment to Korea. Men were
transferred to the 70th. from other units at Fort Knox, Fort Campbell, Ky and Fort Meade, Md.
The men received about 30 days of tactical training before being deployed. The 70th. embarked by rail on 17,July,1950, arriving at Camp Stoneman, Ca on 20,July,1950. The battalion boarded the USNS General A.W. Brewster-AP-155 at Fort Mason, Ca on 23,July,
1950, their vehicles and equipment was loaded on a separate cargo ship. The 70th. arrived
in the port of Pusan, South Korea on 07, Aug. 1950, their equipment transport arrived at
Pusan on 09, Aug. 1950. The 70th.'s tanks were; M-26 , Pershing, Ford-8-cyl. gas engine,
90 mm M3 gun, and M4A3E8, Sherman, Continental R975Cl air cooled radial gas engine,
76mm M1 gun. The men were quartered at Pusan in an old factory, with no windows. When
the tanks arrived the men worked through the night to reload them on small gauge railroad
cars, and the train took them to Taegu, South Korea. The 70th. Heavy Tank Battalion was to
be assigned to the 24th. Infantry Division, but General Hobart Gay, commander of the 1st.
Cavalry Division had the 70th. attached to his division. On 12, Aug. 1950, the 70th. was in
combat in the Taegu area, to effect a breakout of the Pusan Perimeter. A Company of the
70th. with the 5th. Cavalry Regiment captured several strategic points along the Naktong River, B Company of the 70th. with the 8th. Cavalry Regiment, halted the advance of the
North Koreans west of Taegu, C Company of the 70th. with the 7th. Cavalry Regiment
was launching counter attacks against the North Korean People's Army. Around the same
time as the massacre of the cavalrymen of the 5th., N-W of Waegwan, in the vicinity of
Hill-303, Korean War Crime (KWC-16), on 17-18, Aug.1950, two of the 70th. tanks were
knocked out, and six men of the two tanks were captured, and taken prisoners of war.
Then another atrocity was committed by the North Korean Army, they executed the
six 70th. tankers of the 3rd. Platoon A Company. The men were; Pfc. William N. Eaton,
age-18, Sea Brook, NH--Sgt. Arthur E. Reasor, age-25, Hume, TN--Pfc. Robert L. Simons,
age-23, Marshall, IL--Sgt. Roy Stamm, age-34, Glendale, NY--1st. Lt. Roger N. Trall, age-26,
Homer, MI--Cpl. William M. Williams, age-40, Lancaster, SC . God bless these brave men.

Comments: Just had a conversation with Charley Lemons at Ft Knox Museum. He informs me that you donated the Pershing and requested the tiger markings. This was in response to my inquiry, stating that NO M-26 (or T-26E3) ever wore those markings. I can see your reason, but man, that has really stirred up a big hornet's nest on some heated debates about those Op Killer and Ripper markings. Some are using Ft Knox Pershing as "see, here's one". I served with Tk Co, 31st inf, 7th ID, then we switched to Co E 40th Armor in 1956 in Korea. The took away our 4th platoon and we became part of the 40th Armor. I have limited experience with the old Pershing, but was so happy to get the "new" M-46 and get rid of that damned old Ford V8 water cooled engine. Served many moons with M-46,47,48s and tested the M-60. Drove an M-41 for a while and played with easy 8 Shermans. Didn't get to Korea 'til 56, but still got shot at with everything, cuz nobody told Joe Chink and NKVA that the war was over. I work at Ft Jackson Museum as a volunteer, doing research, upkeep on our tanks etc, modelling-dioramas and guiding visitors. Wish we could find you an M-46. Like to get back in the drivers seat of one muself.

Comments: The body of Sgt. Francis Eugene Lindsay was recently discovered near Unsan, Korea along with seven of his fellow soldiers. I am writing a story on what this recent find means for his three surviving sisters, who have wondered what happened to him for 57 years. They plan to bury him on what would have been his 78th birthday June 7 at Arlington National Cemetery. Unfortunately they believe two other people, or at least one other person, should be there with them and have no idea how to find them. They know their brother married a woman named Doris Gibson Oct. 7, 1948. They have the marriage certificate. Shortly before he went missing, he told his oldest sister they had a daugther. She doesn't recall him giving a name of the child. The Army's investigation turned up no info on the wife or potential child. I'm trying to find any of his army buddies who may remember Sgt. Lindsay's talking about the woman or the child. His sisters said most of his friends died with him the night they were attacked on the night of Nov. 1 to 2, 1950. During the battle the eight soldiers who were discovered with him along with nearly 400 others from the 8th Cavalry Regiment were declared missing or killed in action. Anyone with any remote memory of Sgt. Lindsay mostly known as "Gene" would be helpful for my story. Please contact me at 314-954-8022 if you have any information on this soldier. He was born and raised in Esther, MO know known as Park Hills.

I remember when the unit left Ft Knox, I was an 8 year old and I used to visit my uncle Pee Wee before the 70th left for Korea. He used to show me the tanks when I would visit him. I think that he was in a recon element in Korea for the 70th. I remember him telling about an orphan boy that they sort of adopted, he was called "Tommy Tanker" My uncle always wondered what happened to little "Tommy Tanker". Does anyone know? Pee Wee has passed on and I would like to hear from anyone who may knew him.

Comments: Army records indicate Curtis was MIA in action near Kojak-kol. He was last seen throwing hand grenades and firing at the enemy in concealed positions. Three men submitted statements they were forced to take cover and did not see him again. His family wondered if he was ever taken as a prisoner and yet his name does not appear on any camp list. One man from Texas reported he knew Curt in camp and that he died there. Anyone who can add to this would be helping his family bring this loss to a closure.

Comments: Seeking anyone that may have served with my father in Korea. I know he was 1st Cav and I believe he was attached to the 70th Tank Battalion.

His name is Charles W. Seifert. He was a LT. in Korea and has retired as a LtCol. He is getting up in the years and I was looking to touch base with those that he served with so I may re-kindle some memories for him.

Thank you for any assistance you may provide.

Comments: My Dad fought in Korea and I'd like to find out more about him. He had a stroke when I was 14 and lost his ability to speak. He died this last January and I never had the chance to ask him about his experiences. He enlisted in the Air Force after Korea and served in Landstuhl, Germany. I am now 30 and would very much like information about him when he was my age and younger.

Comments: My father fought in Korea.   I'm 30 years old and my dad had a stroke with I was 14. We were unable to communicate from then on because he lost his speech and the use of his right side. As I've gotten older I've wished we I could ask him about Korea and his experiences, just to get to know him better. I know it's a long shot but if you can help me get in touch with someone who would have known my father it would be wonderful. Recently he passed away and I was helping sort through his things and found a hat that said "US Army 1st Div. 70th Tank BN Korea 1951-1952" I don't know for sure whether that was the company or group or whatever HE was in but I know he was in a tank. His name was Robert "Bob" Lucas and he grew up in West Virginia. Any help you can give me would be wonderful.
