Although a handful of us were Regular Army, the battalion was from the Pennsylvania National Guard and at that time most officers and men were NG. Being from Pennsylvania, the battalion had a great many Germans and Poles in it. For example, the Chief Gunnery Sergeant was a Sgt. Schott, a real Prussian-style drill master! We were 1st Corps artillery, along with "Neverdie", a 155 self propelled outfit, and "River," a Korean 105 split-trail battalion. Specifically, we were assigned in support of the 12th and 15th ROK Inf regiments of the 1st ROK division. We all wore 1st ROK shoulder patches. Would like to hear from others who served in Noonday during the Korean War. Visit website at: Click here Bill Stimson End Section: Go to Top

Was called 'Pops' by the radio operators as I was the old guy in the group (almost 22). Rotated out in mid March of 1953. The 176th was a fine outfit and I'm proud to have served with that outfit and the group of men who were part of it
