Keywords: Amphib unit at White's Beach between 1954 - 56, I believe. It was his second tour. Just before he was honorably discharged in the rank of Buck Sgt. He was instructing at Quantico, VA. Would like to know what the buck Sgt. chevrons looked like for that time and what any metal insignia looked like. Also, am looking for his 1/2 brother Charles Gray, stationed at White's beach at the same time. They had housing across from each other, but never acknowledged each other. My dad passed Feb. 18, 2008. I have done my utmost to bring all his US Marine Corps life together for him, my siblings and I. I am making a shadow box of my dad's Marine legacy for my brother. Any info on the above would be so gratefully appreciated. I am a U.S. Capitol Police Officer of 25 years. [ made my dad proud because he did time as an M.P.] I would really like to hear if anyone remembers my dad or his 1/2 brother Charles. Thanks to all that served with my dad and that serve to this day....... SEMPER FI !! hurrah

contact me at nidda629@hotmail.com Thanks for anything you can provide. God Bless you All.

The only name I remember was a Corpsman by the name of Feingold from the Seattle area. I remember he got in some trouble in Kyoto when we went on R & R. I believe his Dad owned a large salvage company. Our unit was entrenched above the Han River, I believe near the town of Yung Dong Po. If there is anybody out there who remembers me, I would very much like to hear from them. I wish I had thought of doing this years ago but I was'nt to well versed in computers until the last couple of years. I guess we are never to old to learn new things.

A typically wonderful Marine and friend. 1st Sgt. was "Mother" Hale and the Company Gunny was Technical Sgt Matthew Doetsch, a tall red headed German with a handle bar mustashe. Gunny Doestch arrived with the Brigade served in Korea during most of the war. He is mentioned in Col. Andrew Geer's 1952 book, "The New Breed". Then Lt.

I was in A Company (in Korea) from November 1951 till about March or April 1952 then the rest of the Bn came over from Japan. I then moved up to BN S3 which was the FDC for the firing Batteries.

A Company FDC and HQ was at Tongjin, Kimpo Penninsula. At one time we had an Army 90 mm gun and two Army Search lights attached to A Company. Plus twice we had a Platoon go over the Island of Kanghwa-DO and fire at North Korea from there.

I was the NCOIC of the FDC of A company. Major David Foos was the CO and I believe a Capt Bennet was XO and a Lt Johnson from Iowa was PLT leader for the FDC.

I want home in May of 1952.

Comments: My father John Devereaux Hall was proud to have served with his fellow Marines in Korea. He told me about going down the ramp of the LST (in his Armored Amphip)into the water, "feeling like he was gonna keep on going strait down to the bottom!" He's been deseased since 82, and I still miss him very much! I have much more to say; but I'd rather share it with any of his buddies out there, and or their kin. One thing that may sticks out in any of the 250 or so of the men in his Company. On their ship heading to Korea he was working in the Kitchen when a large rat ran the kitchen. He chased it and grabbed a meat cleaver as he ran through the galley. He chased it into a corner next to some gallon cans. The rat raised up fangs and claws showing! My Dad chopped him and the cans up taking care of the "Foe". Well a couple days later the CO (or XO) called a company formation. Then he called for Cpl Hall front and center! My Dad thought,"Oh sh_t what did I do now?" Then the CO preceded to read a homemade citation: It stated about how "Cpl Hall armed with only a meat-cleaver, risking life, and limb threw himself into the jaws of the foe; The common enemy... A Rat!" It ended saying "We the mice and men of 1st Armored Amphib salute you Cpl Hall for a job well done. Then the CO pinned a "Rat Metal" on my fathers chest! The ribbon was made from a flour sack, connected to a star cut out from a post card, and in black felt pen had "Hero # 1" on it. My Dad said that that metal meant more to him than all his other metals put together...

If anyone out there in internet land thinks they knew him please contact me by email, or phone call, or letter.

Thanks,

From: Rev. John W. Coates Email address
My name is Rev. John W. Coates originally from Norristown, PA, though I
live in Delaware now.  I read your info on the Korean War Vets Home 
Page.

So decided to try to write.  Perhaps this could be on the home page as a
message.

I started with the 1st Armored BTN when it formed on the West Coast at
Camp Delmar.  I was in the Service Company the first few months.  Then
went to Korea with Service Company and was in the First Amored Amtrak in
1950.  The second time, when we went back to relieve B Company in April
1951, I was a gunner with A/5 in A Company.  Captain Guy was our Company
Commander. Lieutenent Petty was the Adj.  When we were in Korea with the
1st Armored we were FMF 1st Marine Division.  When we were in Japan we
were the Pacific Pac.

I served COG 1 year, after serving 3 years before the war started.  I
went home in the 7th draft 
in 1951.

I have found a book called Across the Reef about the Armored Amphibs in
the different wars which focuses somewhat on the Korean operation as 
part of the book.  The author's name is Victor Croizat.  He published 
it in 1989.  The original publisher was Blandford Publishers, though it
is distributed by Sterling Publishers, 2 Park Ave, NY, Ny 10002.  Mr
Croizat's address, the last time I had contact with him, was 217 - 21st
Street, Santa Monica, CA 90402. 

Len Meiners, a Marine from St. Louis Missouri, has tried to do reunions
with the 1st Armored Amphibs.  You can contact him, if you wish, and 
give him your address.  His address is:
	8 Sunderland Court
	St. Charles, MO 63303
	Phone 314 928 0837
	Fax 314 821 6530

	We are not aware of his having an e-mail address. 

As I said, I live in Delaware now.  You can reach me at the following
address:

	Rev. John W. Coates
	31 South Cleveland Avenue
	Wilmington, DE.  19805

My uncle has ask me to see if I could locate anyone from his old
battalion.  You are the first contact I have found that might be able to
assist in this search.  If you would be so kind as to supply me with 
any information of suggestions on how to locate any surviving members of 
my uncle's old battalion we would be very appreciative.  If you can 
assist in any way, then please send information to the following
