I was stationed in Kumwah Valley. That was where I was last before
I left Korea. I served in Korea from July l951 to Jan. 1952 with the
24th Div. Medical Batt. 1st Platoon Ambulance Co.
As noted in my previous posting, when I left Korea I went to S. Camp
Fuji,Japan and I quarterbacked the 34th Regiment Dragons football
team.
If anyone remembers this or was there at that time I'd like to hear
from them. I can also be reached by fax at (717) 287-1864.
Thanks for getting back to me.
Sincerely,
Don Williams
