Comments: My father was CSM Robert S. Taylor (deceased). During the Korean conflict he was an 18-19 year old PFC. He asked me some years ago to see if I could find out anything about his squad leader, Sgt Raymond Norton of Columbus GA. If anyone happens to have been in "K" Co and remembers either one, I would love to communicate with you.

Darren Hanson wrote on 2008-09-10 22:02:00.0

Comments: Recently found is some old data with a post card to family that never made it. I would like to find the rightful owner of this priceless material.

It belonged to a SFC Wood, Clyde H. and is dated some time around the late 1950's.

This is material from the 187th ABN.R.C.T. SFC Wood was the chief instructor during this time and with company L and maybe known around Fort Hood, TX.

Anyone with information is asked to contact me and if you know what material I have you must identify it. As well; I will be going to the media for their help in this search. I am determined to find the proper owner or family.
