UNIT:

SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: MARINE VETERAN

Comments: Looking for a Marine, serving in Korea, latter part of 1952, named Corporal Idhe (don't remember his first name) We were in "C" Company, 1st Engineer Bn. and went on night patrol together early October 1952 with "I" Co. 7th Marines. Got ambushed by CCF probably on "Frisco" (but not absolutely sure) about midnight. Many casualties including Cpl. Ihde. He was evacuated, and I never saw him again. I believe he lived in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area, but not absolutely sure. If anyone sees this and lives around Milwaukee maybe you can check out my request. I'm ready to turn age 79 so Cpl. Ihde, if he is still around would be about that age too. Luckily it's sort of an odd last name, so that might make him easier to find. Really SORRY about not remembering his first name. I don't know how badly he was wounded, but it must have been pretty serious, since he never returned to our unit.
