I am looking for anyone who served with Bobby Baker, Radio Operator, in
the 25th Recon Company from Sept. 1951 to June 1952. He is especially
interested in finding Sgt. Hurt, Cpl. Williams, and Cpl. Patterson.
If you know any of these gentlemen or anyone else from the Company,
please reply and I will be sure he gets the information.
Thank you.

Thanks for your reply to my inquiry.
Yes, most of the men transferred to Korea in the 25th Mec. Cav. Rcn. Trp.
in July 1950. Many (perhaps most) of the pictures I have of buddies,
were in both the Recon and MP companies.
While I was with Recon, in 1947, 48, and 49, members of Recon and 25th
MP Company, shared the same billets (@7 story building in Osaka), and
both Companies share in Military Police duties - they were completely
intermixed.
Actual personnel assignments to the MP company was extremely small (less
than 50 as I recall).
In 1949, Recon was transferred to a very small military base in
Shinodayam, Japan (12 - 15 miles or so out of Osaka. Most of the old
Recon Co were transferred to the MP Company, and continued to serve as
MPs. I went with Recon. Most of my correspondence during the Korean war
was with old buddies in Recon. I do not recall what happened to the MP
company during the Korean war.
