They were “H” Co., 7th Cav (Inf) 1st Cav Div (Inf) - Gary Owens, and a heavy weapons
platoon (machine gun). Pete had been an assistant gunner and ammunition bearer and in
training to be a gunner. Ed remembered a man in the platoon named Wright who had jokingly told Pete that he was too tall and a great target (Pete was 6’1”). From that day until he was killed, Pete walked with his shoulders hunched over. Mr. Wright was later killed while lighting a fire. Something that baffled Ed because he said the Mr. Wright was an experienced soldier and should not have been making hinself such a target - irony.
Pete’s platoon was in a forward position on the morning of 12 August, 1950 where the battle of Nak Tong River, near Wich-On-Dong village and hill 209 took place. Their position was about 14 miles south west of Taegu which is where they had the 1st Cav. headquarters. At approximately 0600 hours the 25th Regiment of the 10th North Korean
Division using refugees with wooden sticks (so they would appear to have weapons) as human shields, began their mass human wave assault. According to ED, the North Koreans used the refugees, then had other people with pouches full of grenades that came as close as they could and threw as many grenades as they could (before being shot down) into the U.S positions. Then came the North Koreans with sub-machine guns,
called “burp” guns. Ed remembered that Pete had been shot in the face below the right eye and killed by one of these people with the “burp” guns. All positions had been over ran, and about only seven men of thirty-five in their platoon survived the battle. Ed was captured and was a POW for thirty-two days.
Ed is going to visit the 1st Cav Div memorial chapel in Ft. Hood soon. He promised to take a rubbing of Pete’s name from the “Honor Roll” there and send it to me. I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful filling this void of a part of my brothers’ life and death makes me feel.
God bless you all!
