RE:Request for Assistance
To:Jim Malachowski
From:Rich Wiersema, (MAJ US Army)
Dear Sir,
I am researching the operations of the 27th Infantry Regiment in the
Republic of Korea during the summer of 1950 as part of a Masters Degree
program at the US Army School for Advanced Military Studies, Fort
Leavenworth, KS. I'm sketching out the structure of a monograph that
will address the differences in the 27th Infantry's performance when
compared against the other US regiments present in Korea that summer.
Can you help me locate:
(1) S-2 records--don't want a "unit history" but a combat log
usually filled out by the intelligence section--(not sure how it was
done in 1950) from the 1/27, 2/27, 3/27 and the Regimental HQ covering
the period 10 Jul - 15 Sep 1950?
(2) Maps or operations graphics used by LTC Michaelis, his staff and
his battalion commanders?
(3) Survivors of the combat actions during that period? (I am
particularly interested in NCOs and junior officers who were with the
regiment prior to its departure from Japan, and later served under LTC
Michaelis in Korea).
Any assistance you or the staff at the regimental museum could give me
would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Rich Wiersema

The S4 shop of 25th Infantry Division's 3rd Brigade is working on a
project to dedicate a motor pool at Schofield Barracks to a
distinguished veteran of either the 27th, 35th or 5th Infantry
regiments.
Those units have battalions in the present day 3rd Brigade.
We have done preliminary research and it appears all deceased
Congressional Medal of Honor recipients have had facilities named for
them. We are looking for DSC or Silver Star recipients (by Army regs,
dedications can only be to the deceased) from the Wolfhounds you might
recommend as candidates.
Please reply to this address, or to my duty email of
s43bd@schofieldemh1.army.mil,
Thank you for your time,

Pusan to Bowling Alley
Philip J. Kober with the wolfounds 1949 to 1951; bowling alley and
other battles.
Are your writing anything about the wolf hounds? My father, now
deceased, fought with the 25th infantry division. He earned two
bronze stars and a silver star (or bronze with valor) we are not sure.
He told me many intersting stories about the war and I am sure that it
left him permanetly changed or scarred--he manned a fifty caliber
machine gun.
His unit fought the North Koreans from the Pusan triangle all the way
up to near the Yalu river where they were pushed all the way back by
the Chinese and then pushed them to the areas that delineates the the
two countries. He was in the battle of the "bowling alley."
He also claimed to be on the hill above the area where Captain Easy
engaged in the battle that resulting in his having been given the medal
of honor.
He also told me many sad and horrible stories and some funny stories.
He told me the names of a few people that he fought with and I am
intersted in finding out if there are veterans out there who might
remember my father. Who could I contact?
Thanks.

Dear sirs,
Do you have any information on the 25th Infantry Division in Korea? My
grandfather was the commanding officer of Easy Co, 27th IR in Nov
1950.
My grandfathers name is Capt. Reginald B. Desiderio. He was killed
in Ipsok, N. Korea on Nov 27, 1950 Medal of Honor.
I would like to know the hill # and where the hill is, and any other
information you have. I belive it was a little north of Kunuri,
closer to Ipsok near the Kuryong River. They were on a hill shaped
like a C.
They were on the lower part of the hill and the Chinese were on the
upper part.
Thanks.

I was with the 25th Division/White Wolfhounds in Korea from 1953 to

One of my commanding officers was named Capt. David J. Owens and
another one was Capt. William Goodrum (Spelling on that one)I can only
remember a fellow soldier by the name of Warner Oaks from Milinockit,
Maine and that is probably the wrong spelling for the city.
I was later moved of the lines to a company called the 75th Engineers
and that was where I stayed until I was sent home. I was a staff Sgt.
at this time and there was a soldier there by the name of Herbert

My grandfater Marion T. Jones was one of the surviors in the 3rd
division. He was very brave and still to this day tells stories about
the battle. From everything he has said it sounded lonely and scarey!
But my grandfater is a very strong man. If you are a survior of the
WolfHounds (3rd division)or know one please contact us! thanks!!

I have several hundred names of 27th Regt, 25th Division KIA.
My list contains the company and a specific KIA location such as Haman
Area, SK; or TF Dolvin, Ipsok NK. In some cases there are action
references to an entry such as Breakout from the Pusan Perimeter.
I am writing a book of the 27th and you could make reference to me for
more details -wolf27@worldnet.att.net if you chose not to enter my
material. I would be happy to respond to questions. I was with the 1st
Battalion as an 81 FO.
