Thanks for this project.
Can't believe it's been 43 years since I did my tour in Korea, although
it's often seemed we dropped by the wayside in the wake of the
Vietnam war. I spent some time with the !st 90mm AAA Gun Battalion,
FMF Pac, and have never seen mention of the 90's in any history or
roster of Korean Marine Corps units.
I'd like to find a history of the 1st 90's, or hear from anyone who
served with the battalion at the time of its initial deployment to
Korea, and thereafter.
Thanks.

This is the best coverage I have encountered pertaining to the Korean
War. Thanks for all you are doing. I served at K3 Airfield in 1953 and
was there when the Truce was signed.My service was with Provisional
Automatic Weapons Battery,which was a group of volunteers from the 1ST
90 mm Gun Bn. Our Quad 50 Cal. machine guns defended the MAG 33 VMF
115 & 311 squadrons,and were on call as infantry support.Former Sgt.
