Dear Sir,
I read with interest your file on Army units and composition of same 
and would like to add some data based upon a book issued to me in March 
of 1953 as I left the 7th Inf Repo-Depo in Korea.  

The book is "Bayonet The History of the Seventh Infantry Division in 
Korea" prepared by Public Information Office, Seventh Infantry Division
for the Seventh Infantry Division Historical Council, 1 January 1953.  

The book was printed at Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd by Air Line

Thanks for listening and Best Regards,

for but not limited to: organizations, patches, memoirs, maps, logs. 

Communication with other unit members desired. Help us help our father
re-connect to this important time in his life and our heritage.
