Comments: Looking for anyone who remembers Timothy Reese and the water truck accident that killed him. I need to confirm his death in order to get my pension for PTSD. The VA says there are no records of Tim dying in Korea. I know he died, I was there immediately after the water truck rolled obver rounding a curve. He was a close friend and I remember the scene very vividly all the time!

Memories of 1956

Ralph REID wrote on 2007-09-27 22:09:12.0

Comments: In 1956 I was with the Australian Signals unit located at Inchon, down the bottom of the hill from C Battery of the 68th.

Visited C Bty on several occasions, managed to get a decent meal (we lived out of cans, basically) and met a number of great guys.

Going thru some old photos today found one of three C Battery guys enjoying a beer with us at the Australian camp - their names are ROSEN (no first name known); Keith SCHUMACKER, George DYER.

Best wishes from down under to any of them still around, and to all other members of the 68th. You were a fine unit, and we were honoured to be alongside you.

Regards

Ralph REID
