What do you need to know about the "Rock Of The Marne" Division?
I was in Korea May '52 Apr '53 with the 9th F A Bn of the 3rd Div.
We were in action at Yoncon, Chorwon and Kumwah. I have a divison 
history of the Korean action listing all units from the 64th Tank Bn to
the 703rd Ord.  Let me know if I can help you.

I was in Korea with the 9th F.A. near the beggining of the war. We
started out at Taegu, aka the Pusan Perimeter.I was a driver for one of
the guns (155s) for a time then i went in to the detail section of C
battry. 

We went all the way north to Sinuau on the Yalu an back to Seoul.
The 9th was in suport of the 1st ROK then as i don't think the 3rd
division was in Korea yet.
