0059. Saying goodbyes at the Sioux City Airport, Sioux City, IA. My brother Glenn, my fiance Dolores and me.
0060. This is the ferry boat that took us from the San Francisco harbor to the troop transport, USS General John J. Pope.
0061. The USS General John J. Pope, which took us from San Francisco to Yokohama, Japan.
0062. Building a bridge across a stream near the front line.
0063. Working on heavy equipment.
0064. My home away from home.
0065. Our place of worship.
0066. American, English and Canadian soldiers near the front line.
0067. My good friend Jo Byung In, of the ROK, who I worked with during my tour of duty.
0068. The smoke in the background is from napalm bombs being dropped on enemy installations.
0069. Taking a rest after a night on guard duty.
0070. Our water truck got bogged down in the mud after the spring thaw.
0071. This is my favorite ship, the one that brought me and the others aboard back home. "San Francisco, here I come. Right back where I started from."

0076. Chorwon Valley in Korea during the winter of 1952-1953
0077. Home sweet home. My private tent complete with stove. Warm, cozy, and mine alone. Real luxury. I had a Korean houseboy who kept the oil barrel full (behind and to the right of the tent) and washed my clothes.
0078. Looking back down the hill at the electronic repair tent facility. This is where all radios/electronics were field repaired. If it couldn't be fixed here it was tossed.
0079. Another view taken from higher up on the hill. Down hill from the tent is the parade ground and Battalion headquarters.
0080. The local American Red Cross Field Director. The only American civilian around. He provided an interface with relatives and friends back home.
0081. Passing on some communications from home. I got a 3-cell flashlight that I carried during my tour in Korea from the Red Cross. It had been donated by a thoughtful someone back in the States.
0082. This photo was taken from an old, abandoned, observation bunker at the crest of the hill to the North and behind Regimental Headquarters.
0083. And looking further to the East, you can see a snow- capped mountain in the distance. I met one of my college classmates near that mountain. He had been wounded by shrapnel from a mortar round, shipped back to Japan, patched up, and was back on line. The only way home was in a body bag or, if you survived long enough, to accumulated enough points to rotate home. You did get extra points for being in combat so it all worked out.
0084. Turning around and looking South, this view is toward the rear of our position. Down the hill is Regimental Headquarters with the parade ground in the middle and the motor pool nestled up against the middle hill behind the parade ground. Just over the hill behind the motor pool is a dirt airstrip where a spotter plane made its home. You can also see the to road to the rear supply depot snaking down the valley headed South. There also was an artillery battery between the airstrip and the base of the hill.
0085. All of the land-lines for telephone and Telix terminated in this tent. A lot of fretting was done over the obvious fact that a single mortar round dropped on this tent would isolate the 3rd Division Headquarters from the rest of the world. The task of moving all those lines was too large so it stayed where it was.
0086. This bunker was the first home I had after the division moved into combat. It was warm, cozy, and came with a pompous Career Army Captain in the Artillery. He claimed to be a poet, and I questioned anyone in the Regular Army being capable of that. I was moved to my little private tent shortly afterwards. (Please don't throw me in the briar patch ...)
0087. A colored smoke grenade was set off in the parade ground to guide some big brass in for a medal giving ceremony. The brass arrived by helicopter.
0088. And the ceremony went off with the big brass passing out the medals. Immediately after the ceremony, the brass got in their helicopter and left for the safer rear.
0089. Full parade complete with a band at left. Sort of weird watching this pomp and ceremony with people standing in the snow. I guess the medals make war and its miseries OK. You can see the motor pool tents in the the background.
0090. Meanwhile, back at the front ... This is the 3rd Infantry Battalion CP (Command Post). The bunker to the left is the Headquarters Company bunker, the one to the right is operations. Medics are just out of the picture to the right -- you can just see the back of an ambulance.
0091. It's a Jeep, it has four wheel drive, it must be able to go up this muddy hill. It was fun watching these folks from division supply trying to get up the hill without getting out, getting dirty, or actually walking.
0092. It still isn't working. The folks fiddled with this Jeep, spinning wheels and throwing mud for 30 minutes or so. They did finally get the Jeep up the hill. The trip back down was a lot easier.
0093. At the top of the hill in the foreground you can look along the ridgeline and see the relative positions of the Chinese and US troops. The U.S. have the hill at the right, (Op Dick) the Chinese own all of the higher hills beyond. The lines were less than 100 yards apart at this closest point. Click here for closer view of OP Dick and the Chinese held Old Charlie from a slightly different angle.
0094. Setting off four five-gallon cans of napalm ordinance. The cans had a stick of magnesium impregnated dynamite in the bottom and were hooked together with primer cord. The idea was to put them on a hill then set them off when attacked. Another version used 55 gallon drums of napalm. This picture of the test was taken in front of the Battalion CP looking West across the Chorwon Valley.
0095. Happy Valley. The hill in the foreground is behind the 3rd Battalion CP. The hill at the end of Happy Valley is the MLR, the mountains beyond are Chinese Hence the name Happy Valley. It was totally under observation at all times and subject to mortar and sniper fire. The road was the main (also the only) road from the rear to the MLR for supplies.
0096. The Hq. CO, Lt. Tillman, using a compass to sight in a field of fire for our 50 caliber machine gun. You could cover Happy Valley nicely from this position. He rotated home shortly after I get there and I took over the Hq. Company for a while in addition to being platoon leader for the P&A (Pioneer and Ammunition) platoon.
0097. Another view shows the road entering Happy Valley through a pass in the hill at right. The road heads North (to the left) up Happy valley. East, across the valley, you can see two emplacements. The one to the left (North) was a heavy mortar emplacement, the one to the right (South) was an ammunition dump. In the larger view you can see three people at the base of the hill at the lower left of the picture walking along the path I used.
0098. Another view looking North up Happy Valley. The hills on the left were the left flank of the MLR, the hill at the end of the valley was the Northern MLR. The Chinese had the higher hills beyond. What looks like snow on the hills is the result of constant artillery hits that stripped off the vegetation and most of the top soil leaving pulverized granite.
0099. Looking out through the machine gun aperture of a bunker on the MLR. This bunker covered the field of fire looking North into the Ch'orwon Valley.
0100. Another look out the bunker's aperture showing the left flank of the MLR facing out into the Ch'orwon Valley looking North.
0101. This is what's left of a little farming village in Happy Valley. Each day I would walk through these ruins as I made my tour of the valley's MLR and its fortifications. Mixed in with the building's ruins were the remains of a family's life including a little child's rubber shoe, pretty pottery, pots, pans, and the other common utensils of daily living. You can see the MLR at the end of the valley with the Chinese hills showing above the MLR.
0102. Walking along the base of the left-flank hills, North from the village in the previous photo, this picture was taken from the valley floor looking up at the fortified hills. A 50 caliber machine gun was emplaced here zeroed in on a Chinese forward observer's viewing port in a bunker in the hillside. Any one passing by would press the single shot firing lever and send an incendiary round through the Chinese' viewing port.
0103. An air strike on the Chinese MLR. Note the sand bagged latrine at bottom center of this photo. There was a pretty bad story told about the results of a direct hit by a mortar round on an unprotected latrine.
0104. I climbed a little higher, but by the time I got there a lot of the smoke had blown away. The hill in the foreground is our MLR. Note the tanks dug in at the top of the hill. They did not have enough gas to get back down and were just used as artillery
0105. Looking toward the rear (South) from the MLR down Happy Valley. You can see the supply road junction Popeye at the left side of the photo. That was an aiming point for both Chinese and Americans. You did not want to hang around there either day or night.
0106. Looking out across the Ch'orwon valley toward Chinese occupied Jackson Heights with Iron Horse the low hill behind it. Every night both the U.S. and the Chinese would run patrols out in the valley rice paddies sometimes resulting in brief but ugly firefights
0107. Another air strike viewed from the MLR. Note the trenches and bunker built as part of the MLR's fortification. One of the people I shared a tent with when I arrived at the 3rd division's reserve position was a platoon leader and lived in that bunker.
0108. And yet another air strike. This photo is out of far focus (remember manually focused cameras?) with the foreground dirt in focus. This photo was shot peering over the edge of an MLR trench. You'd hear sniper rounds pocking into the dirt around you.
0109. The wounded are secured in their stretchers onto the pods on each side of the helicopter. If needed, and the patient was able, a third might sit next to the pilot in the co-pilot's seat.
0110. The wounded men are carried on their stretchers to pods on each side of the helicopter. The journey to the local field hospital (MASH, if you wish) and might continue back to bigger, better, hospitals in Japan if advanced treatment is necessary.
0111. My P&A Platoon sergeant and Lt. Phelps. Papasans work beside a road in the background. Across the valley is the Papasan's encampment and a road called DeGavre Drive leading to the ROKs on our left flank.
0112. Takeoff and the journey begins. I wish whoever those wounded were a safe journey and a quick and full recovery.
0113. Smoke rises as the papasan's kitchen fires up some of the logs shown in the previous picture to get ready to cook their next meal. I wondered at the time how they avoided being spotted by their smoke and shelled by the Chinese. Maybe it helped to be a native...
0114. The sign says "Kitchen". This was the kitchen for the "Papasans" attached to our company as laborers. Papasans were older men who were not young enough to fight as ROK soldiers, but who had been conscripted to help in the war as laborers. It was the Papasans who built roads, bunkers, and much else of the infrastructure of combat.
0115. Phelps stand next to "Ruff S. Road" sign with Chinese held Jackson Heights over his left shoulder and the left flank of the MLR over his right shoulder. OP Tom can be seen at the far left of this picture and in the middle of the picture at right. This cutout is a site for a mobile automatic canon As you can see in the photo at right, any weapon had excellent coverage of the Ch'orwon valley North.
0116. This is where a dual 20 mm anti aircraft gun mounted on a halftrack drove into position one night while I was walking the MLR and started firing tracer rounds up Ch'orwon valley. The shells were supersonic as they passed and their sonic boom sounded as loud as a muzzle blast. I first thought there was a cannon where the MLR meets the valley floor in the picture at left. There were low clouds and the tracers painted them with a red spot as they zoomed down the valley.
0117. A view of the left flank showing the trenches and bunkers. The tanks are still there although it is spring now. At the top left is a narrow ridge of land that connects the U.S. OP Dick and Chinese held Old Charley. The Chinese and US MLRs were less than 100 yards apart at this point.
0118. A view out another gun emplacement's aperture looking across Ch'orwon valley. What looks like low clouds at the base of the mountains across the valley are white phosphorus shells. There was a little hill there that seemed to be hit a lot. OP Tom is in the middle lower view from this bunker aperture.
0119. Looking North along MLR fortifications with Jackson Heights at left. The MLR forward slopes were heavily mined by both US and the Chinese. The hill was also covered with barb wire. Bouncing Betty mines (when tripped bounce about waist high, then detonate) laid during the winter with trip wires tied to stakes put into frozen soil would go off, randomly, during the spring as the ground thawed and the stakes leaned over in the mud tripping the mine. Sort of military-style spring flowers.
0120. Lt. Lambeth and supply sergeant. Lt Lambeth was a feisty guy who, when the consumption of ammunition soared as the Chinese began their attacks, called to some supply god at Seoul to start shipping ammo at rates exceeding the ration quotas or else "We will be back there with you soon and you won't have to worry about shipping." Truckloads of ammo began showing up on brand-new models of heavy trucks I'd not seen in the combat zone. He made captain before I left.
0121. A view down the hill from the mess tent into the 3rd Division supply depot. This is where I'll leave from when my ride finally gets here.
0122. A happy corporal working in the supply depot. He has just taken off his 10 pound helmet and has a bad case of helmet hair.
0123. Lt. Bradford happy to be on his way home.
0124. Another soldier working at the S4 supply depot.
0125. The view across the valley from the S4 supply depot. There was an 8" gun over there somewhere that every now and then would throw an 8" shell over the MLR and surprise some Chinese.
0126. A view over the top of the S4 tents out across the Ch'orwon valley. At night now the MLR lights up the night sky with explosions and flares. There is a lot of activity going on. Fortunately I'm leaving ...
0127. Another view of the enlisted men's bunk tents and mess hall.
0128. Supply sergeant taking helmet off corporal so you can see his face for picture.
0129. This beat-up Jeep left over from WWII and probably rebuilt in Japan from Jeeps culled from WWII island battlefields.
0130. Note the (infantry) blue scarf. Another aspect of life at the rear is more attention is paid to current fashion. The blue scarf had just recently been authorized as a legitimate part of a uniform. I never got one.
0131. Warrant officer Mincey and 1st Lt. Lambeth - the heart and soul of S4 Regimental Supply operations. Note the star on Lambeth's combat infantryman's rifle badge. He had served in WWII and was called in from reserves for duty here in Korea.
0132. Another scenic shot taken across the supply depot's tents looking out across Ch'orwon valley. I was getting pretty bored waiting for my ride home at this point.
0133. If you look closely, you can see a puff of blue smoke at the base of the hill at the right side of the picture. Artillery was firing, making noise. There was definitely something going on at the front.
0134. Lt. Lambeth heading toward the S4 headquarters tent.
0135. This supply sergeant also served in WWII as shown the star on his Combat Infantryman's badge.
0136. This supply sergeant steps out for a quick cigarette break and gets his picture taken.
0137. The S4 officers getting a Jeep from the motor pool.
0138. The white phosphorous bombardment of the little hill on the other side of the Ch'orwon valley continues. I never did know what it was or why the more or less constant white phosphorous shelling.
0139. Bulldozer drive. I never knew what it lead to or what function it served. It looks like its namesake; a road cut by and to be used for bulldozers.
0140. Looking out across the valley with the regimental ammo dump you can see a long puff of smoke in the middle of the picture. An 8 inch gun had just fired one of its huge shells off towards the Chinese.
0141. And a volley is fired from the artillery position looking North from the previous picture. There definitely is some heavy action going on at the front to get this amount of artillery action.
0142. An ambulance (meat wagon) in the lower center of the pictures heads towards the front, some 10 miles or so North. The smoke from another artillery volley is clearing at the right of the picture.
0143. I was pulled from reserves and moved back on line. My old company had been pulled from its position on the left flank to replace a company which had been chewed up defending outpost Dick and the MLR behind it. This photo was taken as I drove into regimental headquarters in search of a potable water truck. It had changed a lot since winter.
0144. I return to regimental headquarters to see if I can beg, borrow, steal, or scrounge a water truck. The truck which had been delivering potable water to the front had been disabled by a mortar hit that riddled its radiator and left it stranded in the middle of a field. Note how headquarters has been spiffed up since the earlier photos taken during the winter.
0145. I returned to the rear again and took this picture. I was struck that 5 miles or so North of here people were killing each other by the thousands but life still goes on. There's gotta be a message in there somewhere.
0146. When I returned to the front, there were two helicopters in front of the new location for the 3rd Battalion's Command Post. They were constantly flying in and out transporting critically wounded who couldn't be transported by ambulance.
0147. This is a long range view back across the valley looking towards Bulldozer Drive. The road running from left to right goes by the 15th Regimental Headquarters. When we moved online, the group I was leading missed the turn and headed towards Bulldozer Drive. The closer we got, the clearer it was a mistake. We figured out our mistake, turned around and went back. We all arrived OK.
0148. An emergency chow line. Kerosene fired heaters are immersed in a 55 gallon drum of water. K ration cans are dumped into the hot water to warm. You'd fish out the meal you want, open it with your P38 (can opener) and you'll live another day. Most of our rations were fresh - shipped in from Japan. Fresh meat, vegetables, and baked goods all prepared in local field kitchens.
0150. This picture was taken at the 4.2 inch heavy mortar location. In the back ground you can see the old company location on the higher hills beyond the closer one. Happy Valley is in between.
0151. Graves Registration is picking up the body of Lt. Reimer for shipment home. Check out the picture of Lt Reimer in better times. He's the good looking one in the middle. I never got to know him well before he was killed.
0152. I've gotten orders to report back to the rear for my ride home. This picture of the 3rd Battalion's CP is of my last home on the front and was taken as we whizzed past. I'd left the Signal Corp's Jeep I'd "borrowed" parked where the vehicles are shown above. I hope the Signal Corp guy found his Jeep again. I'd never saw him after the night he gave us the ride to the MLR..
0153. This picture, looking South, is of the two bridges crossing the Han Tan river. The bridge on the left was permanent, but during flood season was under water. The bridge to the right was a pontoon bridge intended to float and stay above water level during flood season. Click here to go to the official Engineers in Korea site for more pictures of this crossing of the Han Tan river.
0154. We cross on the pontoon bridge looking towards the East at the permanent bridge. Regimental headquarters are on the other side of the peak shown. I stood on top of the peak above when taking earlier pictures looking North over the Ch'orwon valley.
0155. Back at the division supply depot looking across the ammunition dump. I'm now just waiting to catch a ride home. Things here are serene and peaceful compared to the chaos that was happening around OP Harry at that time.
0156. One last picture of my hosts at S4.
0157. Lt. Phelps. The "crazy" pose reflects a conversation I'd had with him earlier. His job during the last week of attacks was to pick up bodies (and body parts) from the battlefield and cart them away by the 2-1/2 ton truckload. I've wondered many times during the last 50 years how his life has been since those times.
0158. My last afternoon in the combat zone of Korea is gray and cloudy. Sort of a fitting ending summary of my stay here.
0159. Early the next morning trucks arrive from the South with new replacements. Lots of holes to fill in the TO&E (Table of Organization. and Equipment.)
0160. One last photo of the now very familiar shot across the Ch'orwon valley, this time in the early morning sun rising above the place where the town of Ch'orwon used to be. Or still was, if you can visualize a town built of brick, steel, and concrete reduced to rubble no more than knee high. The tallest object left in the town's center was a utility station's transformer.
0161. We arrive in Inchon. The bulletin board at the bottom right says that our ship back to Japan is carrying a load of wounded back to Japan so we will have about a week to wait while it makes the round trip.
0162. At the time I took this picture I thought it a typical Korean street scene. Looking at it now I'm struck by the total lack of any vehicles.
0163. Again farming in any space that someone is not actually living on. It was startling, at first, to see houses actually standing and people moving around. I'd turned in my fully automatic M2 carbine when I left the combat zone, and was feeling naked without it.
0164. Life goes on as a woman and a man harvest cabbages from a roadside field.
0165. A couple of kids on their way to school. Life goes on. Goodbye, Korea.

0192. Personnel transfer at sea. Notice the navy corsairs of the flight deck. They are the only Navy propeller driven airplane used in the Korean war left over from world war II.
0193. U.S.S. Frank Knoxs DD742 retreating from close in shore bombardment.The destroyers would take turns running in close to the beach, firing a half dozen 5'-38's and then retreat back to station out of reach of the enemy guns.
0194. Another shot of the fantail of the U.S.S. Princeton C.V.37 an essex class carrier.
0195. Another shot of the Cruiser Manchester during fueling off the coast of Manchuria. This was our last duty assignment before our return to the states. We were at sea 46 days and we went alongside the manchester for food and fuel. I remember they threw apples down to us and watch us scramble for them. They would laugh and have a good time with that.
0196. Fueling at sea from the U.S.S. Ashtabula. the tanker would come out every third wednsday with fuel and mail, we were always glad to see her. I think that is the US.S. Hollister on her starboard side fueling.
0197. Another shot doing flank speed. I was fascinated by how fast the ship could go and couldn't help photographing it.
0198. More of the signal gang. On the left is Fry, in the middle is Irvin and on the right is Irwin. Irwin was first class petty officer in charge of the gang.
0199. Again we are alongside the destroyer tender in inchon harbor. This show's the new 3" automatic guns that were being installed at the time.
0200. A look at the port side K-guns. I don't think they are on the newer ships. They fired the depth charges out away from the ship. they used a 5"shell casing.
0202. BLACK SMOKE ON NUMBER TWO STACK. This was not allowed, as it made us detectable to the enemy. When anyone saw black smoke they yelled it out as loud as he could.
0203. This is a shot of the inside of the pilot house during a special sea detail, probably while fueling at sea. That's me on the ennunciators and Hudnell from texas on the wheel. This is the only picture of me in the whole bunch. That's me (John Price) in the background and Hudnell in the foreground. I was just a young 19 year old whipper snapper at the time.
0204. The entire ship's company in port somewhere in Japan. The officer in the second row centered directly behind the life ring is Commander Weatherwax, commanding Officer. Taken sometime during R & R
