unit information

I went to AOL and under "keyword" typed in 43rd MASH and found that the 
43rd was, as I remembered, just northwest of Uijongbu during the 1950's.  
The 121st was located near Seoul so I'm sure you came through the 43rd 
enroute to the 121st.  The information at the website also confirms that 
the TV series MASH was based on the 43rd.  It was closed out in 1997 as 
one of the four remaining MASH units in the U. S. Army. 

In 1955 I went to the 43rd along with my entire unit to have a chest x-ray.

It was one of those mandated "everyone will have one" things so one 
afternoon we rode  duce and a half's a few miles up to the 43rd, got the 
x-ray and returned home.  I have always thought that was the unit the TV 
series was based on and this confirms it.  Several of the original stars
of the show attended the closing ceremonies in 1997.
