Did anyone serve with Private First Class Duane F. Horton

Comments: Hello my name is Duane Francis Horton II and I am the great-nephew of Private First Class Duane Horton. My paternal grandfather, was Ronald Horton, who was Private First Class Duane Horton's younger brother. when my dad came along, my grandma and grandpa named him after my Great-uncle to honor him. When I was born, I was named after my father, and great uncle. I would appreciate any information you could give me, from what this website said, was that he was KIA in Seoul and my Grandfather said, that from what he heard, that he had been taken prisoner first, and then executed, by the enemy. He was from Saint Joseph or Benton Harbor, Michigan, which is on the coast of Lake Michigan, and is in Berrien County. He was a member of the 19th Infantry Regiment of the 24th Infantry Division, though I don't know about what unit he was in beyond that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all and have a nice day.

Did anyone serve with Francis Osborn from Illinois?

Any assistance with the finding of records from the hospital or infirmary at Camp Haugen would be greatly appreciated. Mr. Osborn has other health issues now and time is of the essence. Also, anyone that served with him in the 19th Inf. Reg. between 02/1952 & 02/1953 who could write a memo stating his knowledge of the frostbite would be a saviour. His records at NPRC were affected by the fire in 1973.

He was hit in the chest and abdomen numerous times by small arms fire from a so-called burpgun by an enemy chinese soldier. I am alive today because of his bravery that day.

Ironically, he was KIA on the very same day that he was due to be rotated back home to the good old USA! Rest in peace, my friend. PFC John (Jack) W. Dempsey Company A 19th Infantry Regiment 24th Infantry Division

Need Witness

Comments: SUBJECT: Request for Purple Heart award to Jimmy Royce Cornell, RA 25 721 214, and Harold A. Wise, US 55 221 273

Statement of in line of duty injury report

I am Jimmy Royce Cornell, RA 25 721 214. From June 1952 to December 1952, I was assigned to Company A, 1stBn, 9th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division, APO 248, Korea.

On 11 October 1952, I was in the open, walking, with full combat gear, rifle, ammunition, and back pack, in the direction of my assigned Bunker, with PFC HAROLD A WISE, US55221273, on my right side, when a Chinese Artillery round bursted like a bomb, and shattering into many fragmented metal pieces, to the right side of PFC Wise.

PFC HAROLD A WISE, US55221273 took the majority of the immediate Chinese Artillery round burst and fragmentation, and died instantly. I was blown to my rear and left, about twenty-five feet, suffering concussion to my head and body, and I took fragmentation from the initial artillery round burst, in my right upper backside.

Immediately after the Chinese Artillery burst, other members of my unit came to our assistance. One of the unit members got me up off the ground and asked me if I was all right, I was completely disoriented and in shock. Unit members moved me up to the Bunker I had been preceding too before the random Chinese artillery round had messed up my day, and killed in action PFC Wise.

Company A, 1stBn, 9th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division unit morning report establishes that PFC Wise was killed in action on the 11 October 1952. There is no entry of my injuries due to the Chinese artillery round burst, with that of PFC Wises death. I was not evacuated to the Battalion aid station, nor seen by medical personnel. In December 1952 I was reassigned to HHC, 1stBn, 9th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division from Company A, 1stBn, 9th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division.

After the Chinese Artillery round burst, someone had decided that as many able body men had to stay up at the bunkers to stop any immediate Chinese penetration of our lines. I never went to the battalion aid station. I remained at my duty station until my unit was relocated a few days later.

Again I was never seen by unit or other medical personnel prior to my discharge, 5 June 1954.

A year after my discharge I still had back pains and fragmentation oozing from my upper back. My current wife remembers using tweezers to remove several pieces of metal during first four years after my discharge. I have the scars in my upper back, were the fragmentation oozed from.

I am requesting that my military service record and my DD214 be corrected to show wounds received on 11 October 1952 in Korea, as a unit member of Company A, 1stBn, 9th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry

After my research I noticed that PFC Wise was not awarded a Purple Heart as I am requesting for myself. I am requesting that Purple Heart be awarded to PFC Wise, and me.

Comments: I would like to contact the family of Colonel Maloy. I was a member of the ambulance team that transported him from the front lines ahead of the retreat of the 19th Infantry Division (July 16, 1950). We were also on the British Hospital Ship HMHS Maine, which transported us to Osaka, Japan. While on the ship, I had a long talk with Colonel Maloy about how we were all wounded, breaking through the machine guns surrounding us, etc. I recall seeing a newspaper article re: his passing.

I also would like to hear from anyone (or their family) aboard the HMHS Maine who was part of that action.
