Would like to hear from anyone who was with a chemical mortar 
battalion from Maryland.  

Am trying to find anyone who knew my buddy Bernie Montoya 
from Colorado. He was declared MIA in 1950.  

Does anyone know any details?

Contact me, Al Espinoza. AEspinoza@aol.com.

--from KWP---

He was killed on Nov 2, 1950. I would have to do some research to find 
out what the Bn was supporting that week.

I'm interested in any and all information concerning my
brother Donald C Hoysradt. I would appreciate any in-
formation you may have regarding his death, as his re-
mains were never recovered or sent back to us.
We still do not know the circumstances of his death.
We have several conflicting stories.
Any information you could give us would be greatly
appreciated.

Any information you might have

This unit was later changed to an infantry heavy weapons Bn. 

Do you have any input from our unit or the 555th Field Artillery?

I was a member of the 2nd Chem. but to tell you the truth I don't
remember much of it, I was really just there for about 5 months
until the end of the war, and I am still trying to find out why they
never gave me a purple heart and the CIB maybe they thought
the 2nd Chem was not a Infantry unit

Dear sir,
My father Thomas R. Klinger was a prisoner of war in Korea. He 
served with a chemical war unit and was captured in April of 
1950. My family is searching for anyone who was with my father.

He passed away four years ago and never talked about his 
experiences. We are eager to learn anything about this time.  
Thanks so much for your website and any help you can offer. 

My father was from Catasauqua Pennsylvania and was also a veteran
of wwII.
