Comments: For anyone who may have known my mother's husband, First Lieutenant Warner H. Harms, I'd like to share that he's finally at rest in California. After he was declared KIA he was promoted to the grade of Captain. In 1999 his remains were found near the Ch'onch'ong River. The U.S. Army did an impressive job excavating, identifying and finally burying Warner with full military honors. The family was furnished with a detailed report complete with photos of each step of the investigation.
My mother, newly-wed to Warner at the time he went MIA, worked her entire life to support efforts to find and return him and other servicemen lost in Korea. By the time it finally happened for Warner, she was suffering the effects of dementia so I'm not sure she absorbed the amazing fact that he was finally laid to rest at home. Still, it's a comfort to know that this can happen, even after fifty years.
If any of you knew Warner I would love to hear stories of your time with him.

I'm a collector and US Army veteran (Vietnam) and am seeking information about a helmet. It's a standard WWII M1 Helmet, except that it has a Korean War modification to adapt it to paratrooper use. The name inside is PFC Richard Clark, whose name shows up as being a member of 1st Platoon, Company G, 9th Inf. It has a unit insignia painted on the sides in white paint, with which I'm unfamiliar.
I'm asking for the following information:
1. Were any elements of the 9th Airborne?
2. Did any 9th unit insignias look like a martini glass with a crescent-moon base?
3. Does anyone know contact information for PFC Clark (I have his serial number and it begins with "RA-13-######)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

He went to Korea around Feb. 1952 and was in the 9th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Division, 3rd Batallion, 2nd Platoon, K Company. He was captured around March of 1953. Only a few guys from his company were taken with him. He was held in prison camp #5 though he did get moved to a few others. He was released with the last batch of soldiers 3 months after the war ended. He is still alive though his health is not great and he would just like to know if there is anyone out there that he knew back when. He was originally from Connecticut though he now lives in California. He is especially hoping to find an old buddy named Ed Deveccio (sketchy on the spelling of the last name). If anyone knew him we would live to here from you. My e-mail is included and I will give him the messages. Thank you
