Inchon & 933AAA

Comments: I was stationed on the seawall on Walmi Do for awhile. Was between Inchon and Seoul when "bed check charlie' threw the hand grenades out of the little puddle jumper of a plane. Charlie flew right over our OP. We could see his blue exaust. Couldn't fire because Teagu or someone would not permit such. Some time about July/August some of us were sent to the front lines with new vehicles which we picked up in Seoul. Best to all of you and GOD bless AMERICA!!!

Keywords: Walmi Do and Inchon:

I served from late 1952 to late 1953. Was always around Inchon or toward Seoul. I was in a radar unit.

Never went to Chodo, but was always hearing about the pounding they took from the mainland. I know people were happy when the USS Missouria visited!

FIVE YEAR UP-DATE

Comments: On 2002-05-04(Entry 25214), I described my experiences on Chodo Island, with the 933rd. AAA Battalion, Battery "A", where I was wounded by a 500 pound bomb. Two of my buddies were killed that night:Richard Tucker of Ocean County, N.J., and william R. Walsh of Queens County, NY. I was severely wounded, and I will always remember the help that was given to me by Cpl. Leroy D. Simmons. Sometime after I posted that message, I was able to find "Dil" Simmons living with his wife in Huntsville, Alabama. I am now living in Sacramento, California, with my wife of 27 years, Nancy. And Nancy's daughter, Jenny, has just presented me with my 11th. grand child.

Cho'do Firing Quad 50 at Bedcheck Charlie

Comments: My Dad was SFC Millard Pennington who was stationed at Chodo during the Korean War. He would have been in his early 30's then. He had served on Okinawa in WWII. He would tell me of Bedcheck Charlie gliding in with engine off but he could hear the sound of the wind over the wings and ran outside and fired a quad 50 at the biplane. He said that a Marine colonel was commanding officer of the place at the time he was there. He said the place was shelled hard after he left the island.

PROTECTION OF THE 'COLONIALS' ON CHODO

Comments: My radio watches were spent with 'split-phone' setup....a Korean marine..in Morse on one ear, and US personnel .... in voice on the other ear. Chodo callsign was "Chorus" and our ship was "Lancewood six"[as I recall]. The US contact was supposed to call every half hour for a check, as the island had to be kept secure for the radar station to direct bombers from Japan, to stop them crossing the Yalu river and starting WWIII. things were OK until the operator on the island got a little apprehensive, as the tide receded and the mud-flat became exposed [possible incursion from the mainland] and his calls went down to just a few minutes apart. The noram check was "How do you read?"...reply... Five by Five.. when he go over active I had to stop the rot by replying "I read you two by two by two".. when he queried this I explained "I read you too loud, too clear, and too cotton-picking often".. he went back to the scheduled half-hour intervals, and all was well again. Good luck you vets, may your days be long in the land of your retirement. From a "Limey swabbie"
