Comments: Hello,
My name is Ira Martin. I've recently began the task of documenting my Grandfather, Donald Martin "Marty"s involvement in Korea. He arrived in Korea April 1951' He was promoted to sergeant upon arrival and commanded the 1st division 11th regiment 1st Battalion Baker Battery (Gun #4?) and served till the truce talks stalemate July 1952'. Its recently come to my attention He may have fired in support of E-2-5 and or G-3-5. He recieved 6 medals altogether not/inc the new unissued Rok medal. He has yet to receive it.
He is interested in any serious contacts from baker battery and any forward observers he might have encountered. He's sad the names are gone from memory; Even then, most were nicknames never to be used again off the Peninsula.
I've begun documenting his divisions movements during his service with what limited resources I can get. Any Information or Resources would be greatly appreciated and reciprocal if wanted. I've got a couple maps off the web and some random references to the Marines 11th Artillery in some actual diary like info and military docs. My Grandfather has some amazing stories and even more I'd like Help to unlock. My recent interest has already begun to get things going.
If interested or know of my Grandfather please contact me imartin@nycap.rr.com for additional contact info. Any Information will be extremely appreciated. I look forward to a serious response.
Sincerely,
Ira L Martin

Comments: Good Morning,
I work for the Marine Corps Association in Quantico, VA. I am currently doing a bit of research for one of our members. He has seen a decal being sold as a "5th Marine Regiment" patch replica and wanted to purchase it to show his pride for fallen brothers of all wars. His concern is this: Is there an official USMC 5th Marine Regiment patch? He wanted to display something that was authentic to the Marine Corps. One key point to this interesting patch is that it has 5 "seahorse" type images located in an "x" shape on the patch with the EGA on the top of the patch and "Fifth Marines" at the bottom of it. Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance.
Semper Fi,
Patsy Morris

He told me he was the Marine in the picture that Duncon took - the famous one, of a Marine holding a "C" can looking up at the sky. It is Bob - I am sure. It was taken in the Chosin Res. area. The last I heard Bob moved to San Fransico. I would like to locate him so we could have the photo offically deicated to him. I have located Mr. Ducan and his collecton of photgraphs and negatives. I am tired of seeing this photograph shown and Bob not give credit. Any info would help. Thanks, Al

Ran into him when I inquired at the command bunker about where the forward observer bunker was. Captain Mathews had been a school teacher of mine in Maricopa, California before being called up for the Korean War. Have wondered many times what may have become of him. Was a hell of a man and Marine.
