Such as the 50th AAA Aw Bn (SP). which was active at the Inchon Invasion,the battle for Seoul,the Iwon Invasion,the drive to the Yalu and the help it provided in extracting the Marines from the Chosin Area. This unit was attached to the 1st Marine Div., the 7th Inf Div., to the 3rd Inf Div., and then finally to 8thArmy, Yet it is never given mention in any listings pertaining to these Divisions. Stanton in his book titled ,"America's Tenth Legion" wrote a short paragraph about the great effectiness of the 50ths twin 40 Bofors and the Quad 50 cal.guns and their annilization of the enemy on Hill 1081 at Chiphung-ni. Other than this short paragraph, it is very difficult to find any info about the units, battles it served in. The Divisions it was attached to, rarely ever mention this non-organic unit.
