His son entered a entry 60426 on 2007-03-22.
Anyone from Guthries outfit remembering him would comfort the family with any responses. I have known Guthrie since possibly 1939 also his brother Jack also a Marine officer. Both gentleman of the first line. I was in Korea at the time Guthrie was and learned of his being wounded from my brother a former Marine in the 3Rd Marine Division of Iwo Jima, since passed away. At times in Korea our 3 man 101St Signal Bn radio relay team on some isolated hill would have a squad of Marines as guards--cake walk for them but deep sense of security to us--never enough thanks.

THE SINGING MARINE
Corporal William Shurts, 21 of F. Company, 5th Marine Regiment, was hit by a sniper's bullet on a Korean hill. He died the next day. His inspirational singing brought cheer and courage to the trenches. His comrades described him as the "man who brought God to the front lines!" His favorite song was: "The Old Rugged Cross." How this song enheartened the men in the foxholes! Often, they would join with Corporal Shurts on the chorus. Passing from man to man, William spoke quietly to them of faith in God. "After he talked to us," a comrade wrote, "the dark foiled utterly. But for sinners he has a Gospel.

Please contact me at weo2him@yahoo.com with any info you have I'm gathering info for the lawyer in hopes that I can help my mother receive the benefits my dad earned in sacrificing his livelihood in Korea.
