My Dad served in Korea with the Marines 1/5 in the Nevada Cities of Carson, Reno and Vegas. He is now deceased since 2011. He was a very proud Marine and received the Purple Heart. I am very proud of him for his service in Korea and with the Marines.

Rest in Peace Dad,

Steven

There are a couple of pics of him on the Aust War Memorial site just search his name to see them. I am doing a framed plaque with pics he brought back and his 6 medals and found your site interesting. Cheers Grant Woodbridge.

My grandfather is somehow listed as a casualty ( Arthur d Tavares sn 51004532) he lived a long life ( recently passed away at 87 in February) he should have earned a Purple Heart for being wounded instead the army lists him as KIA. I was glad I was able to figure out what infantry division he belonged to though! I'm wondering how can I get him his Purple Heart he deserves posthumously.

Hello, in the list of KIA of Virginia, several soldiers have Elizabeth City listed as their home city. However in Virginia, there is no town or city named Elizabeth City, only Elizabeth City County. There IS an Elizabeth City in Northeast North Carolina, which is only 45 minutes south of the NC/Virginia State Line. I would suggest you research these to ensure that you have the correct place of birth.

Photo Section 'An Aussie Op' 1 RAR Hill 159. 4th photo from left should read 'Doug (Jock) Walker'. Other three names are correct. Photo of Chinese Prisoner, same section. L/cpl D McCarthy was known by the nickname 'Black Jack'. Great site, brought back a lot of memories and mateship. Doug.

I was in the Marines, Charlie Co. First Eng. Batt. 1 Reg. 1 Div. (Chestie Puller Was the CEO). Missed the Inchon battle because the ship I was on was caught in a typhoon off the Alution islands. We were ordered to port at yokahoma Japan for 1 month and than enter north Korea at Wanson harbor. We spent the winter (-30F deg) in Koto-re (Chosin resovir area). The Chinese surrounded the 1st Marine Div. and blew the bridge which was the only way out of the area. The Air Corps air droped bridge sections so we could leave the area with all of our equipment and board ship at Hungnam to leave the area. We brought 100,000 North Korean citizens with us to Pusan.
