Comments: I was with the 224th Inf. Regt. from May 1952 until August 1952. MOved off the front line in July(?) 1952 and went to guard Chinese P.O.W.s on KOje Island. Having had prior service in artillery, I was trasnfered to the Btry. B 981st F.A. Bn. There was a Lt. Dison in that unit as I recall.If I remember correctly, he was from Alabama. This unit was in the Kumhwa Valley at the time.
