Davis III, USMC D/2/7. 12 years ago, I located a bunch of men from his company, using 1950 addresses. They now have a reunion each year. My dad is a Chosin Reservoir veteran, and he belongs to the Chosin Few (I've also attended a few of those meetings.) Let me know how I could be of help. My dad has a lot of the old 1st Marine Division Assn. newsletters, as well as almost all the Chosin Few newsletters. He's a regular at the VA hospital in San Antonio, Texas (i.e., I could potentially contact quite a number of people.)

From Victor A.R. Stevens 2636 Sequoia Ann Arbor, Mi. 48103-2663 Re: Robert Alfred Mallett #1066458 2nd Bn, 7th Marines - Chosin Reservoir You show him to killed - in - action Oct 53. when it should be missing - in - action (MIA) November 28th, 1950, (presumably later listed as KIA.) Allow me to also point out that the war ended July 1953. I know these to be the facts as I was in the same campaign, although I was in a different Regiment. I was injured in the campaign and sent home and while at home (December 1950) his mother contacted me and said he had been reported missing as of November 28. In addition I spoke to another Marine who indicated he had discovered Mallett severely wounded and had placed him in his vehicle only to have him die a short time later at which time he removed him from the vehicle and placed Mallett alongside the road. I cannot confirm this story. However, if true, evidently his body was not recovered as he was officially reported as missing in action. Yours sincerely, Victor A.R. Stevens ---note from KWP--- the date of casualty or death for most MIA's became late 1953 or up til 1957. Many of the bodies in combat had tags removed when it was next to impossible to evacuate, thus creating a high probability of not being identified. Mass graves still exist in North Korea today. Note: the war has never been declared over, in fact is a hostile zone taking casualties on a regular basis. - ed
