Comments:
Served with "C" Troop, 59-60. Was a tank driver in 3rd Platoon. C Troop was the most fortunate as we had the PX and movie theater within our compound. Of course we were also under the gaze of the officer's club. That had it's disadvantages.

Paul Got your mail, but can only respond here. Would like more Info., as it is scarce enough. Not too many old buddies left or have computer skills. I heard from another guy I served with in A co., John Yunckes, He went on R&R with me and we both went to the DMZ police together I am getting to the place in life where the memories are starting to fade. I re-enlisted after Korea and went to Europe for 3 years, Would you believe a ground pound-er in an artillery outfit? Any way by the time I left I had gone to 7th. army NCO academy and made E-5 and gunner on a 175 MM sp so rode everywhere I went. My E-mail is oldcrowsnest@aol.com. Would like any info. about any of the guys that were there when I was. Thanks for the come back. Later: John

If yes, when and where did you serve with the 1st. Cav. Korea circa 1950
Comments:
My father was with the 1st Cav. I have a picture of him in uniform and the patch is seen. I know that he was in Korea in 1950 because on his DD214 It says that he was wounded on Sept. 16, 1950. I know nothing of his time there except for what my uncle told me because my father would never talk about it. This patch was a particular sore subject with him. Now he's gone and it's the one area I want most to know about. He and my mother divorced when I was 7 and I never really knew him. I guess I'm trying to hold a little piece of him. His name was Billy G. Haddox. I would welcome any and all information.

Sgt Kratavil, Sgt Bailey, Phillip Serwick, Leon Evans. Sgt Barney from Ft Sill , Sgt Lau from Hawaii and many other good soldiers that I have forgotten the names of . Funny I dont remember any officers names at all. Those of us who served in a rifle company , well you would have to have been there and done that to realize it.

Comments: Served at Camp Snow, just south of the "Mickey Mouse Corner" in Pobwon-Ni. Lots of alerts, field duty, guard duty on the perimeter wire with the old M-1. Extremes of climate - hot and humid, and cold as hell! Quonset hut living, 10 cent beer at the club, and of course the "vil". R&R ("rape and rampage") in Japan (Kishini barracks and the Ginza), and the occasional 2 or 3 day pass to Seoul and SAC compound. Great memories all, not the least of which were the many excellent soldiers I served with!
