In 1952 I was assigned to the 15th AAA Gun Battalion (SP) in Korea. We had
Half-tracks with Quad Fifties, and M-19 Tanks with Twin-Forty MM cannons.
Although we were AA, we served as Infantry support, mainly with the
Colombian troops.

John also mentioned a book, "The History Of The 15th AAA AW Bn (SP)". 
Can you give us any information about this book, or tell us where we
might locate it.

I want to thank you in advance, and to say that I enjoy your web site very
much.

Do you have any info regarding circumstances surrounding the death of
Col Keith while he was a POW.

I was a forward observer with the Bn in the Pusan perimeter and was 
wounded on Aug l5th, 1950 and evacuated to US on Sept 2d, 1950.  

One story was that he was left out in the compound and froze to death.
I've wondered all these years if this version was true.  
Thank you for your help.

rotated to Korea and was in the battle of the chosin in Nov/Dec 1950. 

I am looking for history for him. He has several memories about that 
time and wish's to learn about the history of the 15th. He shipped out 
on the USS Black to Japan then to Korea.

He was wounded and awarded the Silver Star for his actions during the 
time of the Korean invasion of the reservoir in Nov/Dec 1950.
