I served in Korea from early 1951 until the time the Cav was sent
to Hokkaido, Japan. My service was in Hq co.,99th field Art. Was
pers sgt and bat sgt major. Can't find any where to hang my hat.
Lost touch when 1st Cav went back into Korea in 1952. Have been
looking for contacts ever since. Will you guys let a buddy
trained in Combat engineers, sent to Korea, assigned to Artillery
where I hardly knew one end of the heavy equipment from the
other, then assigned to Hq Co, get into your ranks?
Many thanks,
