I went over to Korea with the 2nd div. in July of 50. I think we 
embarked in Pusan on/or about  July 28,1950. We set up shop over looking
two hills on the Naktong river just west of a town called miryang. We 
were part of the thin long line that had a position on what the called 
the "PUSAN PERIMETER".

I was the BAR Man in the infantry squad of the recon co.. When we broke
out we went  guerrilla hunting  in So. Korea for about a month.  When we
got to seoul, I and my good buddy Roy  Stumbough were assigned to a 
Capt. Young and a  group of R.O.K  guerrillas to police the no. korean
capital of P'yongyang. 

I think is was about 10-19-50 that myself, Capt. Young and Stumbough in
a radio machine gun Jeep were the first american troops to drive down 
the main street of P'yongyang.  We were greeted by two  U.S. Air Force
officers who had been hiding out for over three months. They had been
shot down over P'yongyang.  

Later our pictures were taking by some war correspndents and to this 
day I am still  looking for one of those photos.

I slept in  No.Korea's Premier Kim IL Sung's bed that night.  I often
wonder what ever happened to Major Young. -promoted [west point grad.]? 

Later, 11-50, went back to 2nd recon . We got to 20 miles of the Yulu 
and you know the rest.  The chinese had  the  whole kunu-ri pass 
blocked. What a turkey shoot. I was wounded when my jeep got blown up 
and ran for the hills.

Got out  of the  35th station hosp. in Kyoto, Japan in 2-51. Went to the
R/R center at camp drake . Came home in 12-51. to Camp Cooke, Ca.
[now Vandenburg A.F.B.] Discharged 9-15-52. P.S. Roy Stumbough and a lot
of others were killed on 2-14-51 when the 2nd recon co. was hit hard by
the chinks.   

sincerely;
