I have in my posession copies of some Special Orders of Btry B 933d AAA
Bn for period Aug-Nov 1953. Also original copy of DOA SO No 67 dtd 8
Apr 53 pertaining to assignment to USA Forces Far East Yokohama Japan
with an EDCSA Date of 22 Jul 53.
Also have a number of 35mm slides taken on site near Inchon during the
same period. Recollect that last engagemet of Battery B 933d prior to
armistace was on 16 June 1953, prior to my assignment, when Inchon was
bombed by single engine biwing plane "Bed Check Charlie".
Believe casualties were minimal but some damage was done to POL stores
in the Inchon harbor area and A of 933d suffered equipment and
communication losses.
I have some recollection of returning to CONUS by troop transport in
December 1953 from Inchon to Ft Lewis Washington accompanied by members
of 555th FA Bn.

Subject: Re Btry B 933d AAA AW BN (Mbl)
In my msge posted 22 Dec 97 ref above subject I stated that Able (old
phonetics) battery of the 933d had equipment and communication losses
resulting from enemy bombing of Inchon harbor on 16 Jun 53.
This isincorrect. It was Baker battery, not Able Battery, that had
these losses, mostly ammo and trucks and communication wire due to POL
fires caused by the bombing.
Able battery at the time was stationed on a small island off the west
coast of Korea, above the 38th parallel, with a mission of providing
air defense for an Air Force radar installation also located on the
island.
Able battery was a desireable duty location because of its being above
the 38th parallel and additonal rotational points being given for
service there.
One other battery of the battalion, I recall it being Charlie, also was
at Inchon.
Baker battery was on the south side of the harbor and Charlie battery
was on the north side, both with a mission of providing air defense
for Inchon harbor and the POL stores in the area.
