Victorville Calif. (Pre-Army)

I rented a room from the only woman who owned a pool in Victorville. I was working in a cement plant working a week each - days, swing, and graveyard. The temperature was 100 to 115 degrees average. This is why I enlisted. Due to being colorblind, the Air Force, Marines, and Navy would not take me.

On the Way

Most of the pictures were taken with a Minute 16 camera that fit in my cartridge belt. Great little camera. When they stripped the O.C.S. schools for cannon fodder, we were lucky to be flown over on private airlines. There were four of us on this flight. The pilots and crew were terrific. They rotated us and let us sit in the co-pilot's seat. What a trip. We landed in Hawaii around midnight. 3 hour refueling stop.

Around Beppu

When I was in Beppu, I would climb the cliff behind some trees (as everyone knew where it was) and hike down to the shore. I watched women on the rocks with a little bucket. They were using a little pick pulling the meat from barnacles from their dinner. I went on down and watched some men cutting round discs from the sandstone for grinding wheels. I also saw some men building a fishing boat. It was all mortis and pegged. No nails or bolts. I took pictures if I can find them.

Thanksgiving 1950

Thanksgiving 1950: These little girls were watching a dog chewing on a bone, and when the dog was done, one of the girls went over and stared chewing on the bone. They ate well that day and as long as we were in that area.

Wounded being evacuated that were too badly hurt to go by truck.

We had a reserve 2nd Louie as Co. Commander for a short time. He made us wash the vehicles for inspection. We called him "Rabbit". He was a sad case. He lasted a week. Too long!

I was taught how to drive a jeep when we drove up to this walled city (Suwon?). We were driving up this mule trail, and I stopped when I came to a rock shelf 18" - 24" high. The Capt. asked why I stopped. I thought we would tip over. He said get out, and he drove back down the hill, got a run, and when the front wheels hit the rock, it went up in the air. He had enough speed that when the back wheels hit it slammed the front down. He just said "get in". He drove the rest of that trip. The walled city covers two mountain ranges. The King of Korea lived here a 100 years ago.

The hook on the front of the jeep was put on by Capt. Aylward. During WWII the Germans would string cable across the road to decapitate the soldiers. He said some hooks were made to stout and would flip the jeep. He had seen men decapitated.

Korean civilians cleaning my jeep before an inspection. Notice the tire chains.

The Koreans built their homes in this manner. The walls are packed with mud.

Two children fighting. They were getting to move close for safety.

When they had food left from chow, they gave it to the Korean children. They took it and shared it with the rest of the family. Made sure some was left over.

This amazing mad could play good music on this can. It was music we could understand.

One of the "many" orphaned children.

Many refugees heading south.

A small girl we called "Speed" watched us while we built a road into our positions below the Han River.
