It says most significant assignment was Sta Comp Cp Chickamaugo 8021 AU APO 32.
I'm pretty sure Sta is Station, Cp is Camp, and Chickamaugo is a typo for Chickamauga. What is Comp? And is 8021 AU the 8021st Army Unit? Or is AU for mail routing through Austrailia or something?
His name was Robert Kane and he was staioned in Japan from Dec 51 til May of 53. He trained in Ft Leonardwood as a carpenter from Nov till Dec 51. He was a PFC when he was discharged.

I am tyring to figure out what the patch is. It is a traingle and had a 6 on it. There was the image of tracks from what could be the bottom of a tank. I don't recall there being a top to it. I always figured he was in some engineering company, but this make me think he was in an armored group.

Comments: I am looking for my father's half brother. I was told that he served at Hearbreak Ridge during the Korean War, a story I have not been able to verify as I haven't been able to find him. My aunt told me that he earned a Purple Heart in Korea. When I asked her about him in 1988, all she would tell me was that I didn't want to find him because he was messed up from the war. I'm pretty sure he survived the war. Here are his particulars:
Howard Thomas James, Jr., born in Los Angeles, CA, 6/23/1925
Mother's name was Glena J. Ramsey, from Hawaii. Her mother was Hawaiian and her father was Australian.
I found Howard, Jr., and his mother living in Stockton, CA, on the 1930 Census with a man named Theodore F. Coppersmith, a cabinet maker.
Howard's father was a lawyer and firefighter in L.A., CA, (Howard Thomas James, Sr.)
Howard's mother left Howard, Sr. sometime before Sept. of 1928. I don't believe he ever lived with Howard, Sr., again after that.
My father, his half-brother, was also born Howard Thomas James (some suffix) in L.A., CA, on 9/7/1928. He always went by Tommy, and I know he and Howard, Jr., were in the Army at the same time at one point because I have a family picture with both of them in their uniforms.
My father's sister's name is Darlene Madeline James now Murrill, born in 1933.
Sometime between 1933 and 1946, Howard, Sr., moved with my dad, Darlene, and wife (No. 3 or No. 4) Vyrle to Brookings, OR, where they grew Easter Lillies.
If this sounds like anyone you know, I can e-mail his picture to you. I would just like to know what happened to him, is he still alive, and did he ever have any children.
Thank you, Joan Cain

Comments: My father claims to have served thru Ft. Breckingridge with a group of soldiers that was assigned to 4th Platoon, Love Company of the 516th RCT. He's claimed to have been sent on three missions into Mongolia in Sep/Oct/Nov of 1952 in order to destroy Chinese supply dumps. Any info would be helpful.
Thanx Much.
