Comments: Cant belive it I was assigned to the 606th at Shaw in the early summer of 1950 and rode the train to SFC for the boat crossing to Korea. I was in the "Dentist Able" unit that moved multiple times, starting with Mason, Korea and on to the TB Sanitarium wreckage to set up at Inchon on ht swea wall. I then went to the main unit when the VRC team was dismantled. I was in Korea from the fall of 1950 for 18 months before being assigned to the 27th Air Division at Norton. Been a very long time ago, I am now coming up on 88 years old, What a flood of memories came back from reading this. I have been going thru a lot of old pictures, just for memories. Any 606ers left, I would love to hear from you. (Charles) Roy Curtis.

Comments: Can anyone on this site recommend any autobiographies/memoirs in which the author describes their personal experience of hand-to-hand combat? I am doing an academic research study around this specific experience of warfare and searching for source documents. Any recommendations on books from the Korean War, or other conflicts, is greatly appreciated. Your website has also provided some great insights already. Thank you for putting this together.

Comments: Enjoying the site very much. My mother's first cousins Marion "tynce" (short for tinesy, later known as "Rusty" Lee DeShong, is the Marine in the extreme upper righthand corner of the famous David Douglas Duncan photo of 1st Div. He was later a pipeline welder, contractor and commercial fisherman in Alaska. He retired to Dothan, GA near some of his old war buddies. He passed away a few years ago and is buried in Miller, OK, next to his mother, Ruth Deshong Machler. He was my hero.

Comments: Thank you to all who have, or are serving in Korea, and to the authors of this Korean War history. I served in (69-70) with the 6146th AF Advisory Group (AFAG). My duty station was Hq ROKAF, Seoul, Korea. Our quarters were at Camp Corner by Yongsan. I was a Communications-Electronics advisor which included maintenance. logistics, plans & programs, and training. I traveled extensively in Korea supporting the ROKAF Aircraft Control & Warning (AC&W) System . Besides the ROKAF radar stations, this included the ROKAF school at Taejon, the equipment depot at Taegu, and the 30th AC&W Wing at Osan. I also worked directly with the 4 person AFAG teams at each ROKAF AC&W station. I traveled in the DMZ area from the West to East coasts aboard ground vehicles, and C-46, C-47, and chopper aircraft. I also worked closely with the 8th US Army (Seoul), Hq PACAF (Hawaii), 5th AF (Japan), 314th Air Division (Osan), and 2146th AF Communications Group-AFCS (Osan).
