These photos are from my personal photo file while I was serving my tour of duty in Korea.
The time period was 1953 and 1954.
The tour was a full sixteen months while serving as a Combat Photographer in the 4th. Signal Battalion, X. Corps, Korea.
Most of the photos are in black and white, with a sprinkling of color now and then.
I served as a lab technician and as a field photographer.
I rose in rank and chose to volunteer for Aerial Combat Photography.
The armistice was signed after I completed 16 missions and during my time on the ground, I was appointed as the photographer for General I.D.White, who was the commander of the X. Corps during most of my tour of duty there.
I had the opportunity to be involved in some historical times as a photographer when history was being made in Korea.
I was then, and am now, proud to have been a part of those times.
Some of these photos are one of a kind with pictures of Syngman Rhee and officers of that era.
Maybe someone else will remember. |
