RICK LEE wrote on May 13, 2005 CITY AND STATE: ST. LOUIS MO UNIT: 555TH SERVICE BATTERY SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: I am looking for anyone who knew my uncle Harry Lee. Unfortunately my Uncle died in 1999. He didnt talk a whole lot about his experiences but he did share a few stories. We also have a few pictures and was wondering if any body out there would like to see them and identify the people in them. One picture in particular is of a young Korean Boy approximately 10 years old dressed in a assortmant of army hand me down cloths. My uncle said he was kind of like a unit mascot and after the unit was overrun he never saw him again. According to my Uncles DD214 he was assigned to the Service Battery Company. He was a truck driver and a welder and served from 1953 to 1954. He was wounded by sharpnel in the legs and stomache. He was from a small town in Missouri called Lutesville. Thank you for taking time to read this and God Bless you all and keep you in good health. Keywords:
