Walter S. Coble

Seeking infomation about Sgt. Walter S. Coble believe he served during 
the Korean War in the 24th Infantry (unsure about this since he also 
during his career with the 1st Infantry, Second Infantry, as well as 
1st Cavalry Div.).

Any info. you might have or suggestions on how I might get started on
gathering info would be highly appreciated.

Meantime, regarding Walter S. Coble:

his service number was RA13292317 he served during the Korean War and 
served through 1963/64 when he retired.  He died in 1994.  I would be 
interested to hear from anyone that served with him during the Korean 
War so that I might get some perspective on what he experienced as he 
was not very interested to discuss his war experiences with us 
(children).  I do know he looked forward to the day when the Korean War 
veterans would be recognized with a memorial and was quite active in 
the VFW and DAV in Pulaski Virginia.  The few times he did speak of the 
Korean War his thoughts were always with his buddies from his units 
and always filled with nostalgia and the wish to meet with them
once more.
