Comments: My father served in the U.S. Army from 1941 to 1961. I have a record for almost each year of service except his 9 1/2 months in Korea between July 1950 and June 1951.
He would never talk to me about Korea. Just recently, my uncle told me he served with the 8th Engineer Combat Battalion. He didn't know which company. He said my father was at the beginning of the North Korean offensive, the defense of the Pusan Perimeter, the counter offensive northward to the Yalu River near China. He said my father was at Chosin Reservoir where most of his unit was wiped out. This would probably be in the November/December 1950 period shortly after the Chinese communist intervention.
I don't know how much of the above is accurate. If anyone served with my father, I would very much like to hear from you.
