LEE MURRAH wrote on February 6, 2008 CITY AND STATE: HUNTVILLE TX UNIT: HQ BTRY 145 AAA AW BN 86 SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: ARMY VETERAN Comments: My father-in-law, Roy L. Barton of Iola, KS, served as radio operator/forward observer mainly with ROK forces. After the War he lost his documents proving he was in combat, which is a prerequisite for some benefits. The government records were burned in a fire in St. Louis about 1970. Roy is now deceased, but I understand that his widow can receive certain benefits. Roy and then his widow have spent several years trying to prove his eligibility, but without the records they have not been successful. So we are looking for anyone who remembers Roy and can sign an affadavit that he served in combat in the Korean War. Keywords:

We are researching documented data of the combat history of B Battery. Frank Malone, C Battery Platoon Leader during the June-July '53 CCF offensive, and I are also in constant contact. Since B Battery was a "detached" unit on line for the 7th and 20th ROKA Divisions, our efforts seemed to have been overlooked. We did receive citations from commanders of the 7th and 20th ROKA -- if you desire copies, let me know.

RAYMOND (RAY) KALIL wrote on April 24, 2001 CITY AND STATE: NASHVILLE TN UNIT: BATTERY B, 145TH AAA AW (SP) SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: ARMY VETERAN - KOREA Comments: B Battery was cited by Commanders of the 7th ROK Division and 20th ROK Division for their combat effectiveness in the Christmas Hill area during the months of May, June and July 1953. Two M-16 platoons were on line at that time. One led by me, then-Lt Ray Kalil, on Hill 1220 "SP3" - and the other led by then Lt Harris Hollin (SP1-2). Contact me for copies of these citations (the Historian for the 45th Inf Div Museum was not aware of these citations until I sent him copies). I am collecting documented material of our service and performance during this time, and especially photographs. We were never really appreciated for this service by our own command, even though we held our ground when the 20th ROK's were pushed back by the fierce CCF offensive (thirteen battalions!) in the Christmas Hill area. I am in contact with Harris Hollin and then-Sgt Calvin Jordan. Let me hear from you. Keywords: Christmas Hill; Hill 1220; Korea May-June-July 1953
