Info

I was in Korea in June 1954 to April 1955. I was in Easy Co., 2nd Bn. 1st Marine Regt., 1st Marine Div. I would sure like to see our old company area again. I think our company’s camp was north of Monson, across Freedom Bridge somewhere. I have written to many government organizations with no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Darrell E. Jensen, 2325 Pheasant Ave., Hamlin, IA 50117, dj59@gliddenwildblue.com Picture Purchased at Knoxville Convention John Balla is looking for a photo to purchase like the one he bought at the Knoxville convention a few years ago. As he remembers it, it had the KWVA logo, crossed swords “…the whole bit.” John would like to know where he can get another one. Reach John Balla at (732) 961-1331. 4th Signal Battalion I am looking for information on the 4th Sig. Bn., but I can’t seem to find a source to contact. I know that a book was printed that mainly discussed the 4th Sig. Bn. during WWII. I was a member of R & M Co., 4th Sig. Bn., during part of 1952 and 1953. I served in R&M Co. I came home in April of 1953. I’m mainly interested in the 4th. Sig. Bn. in Korea, but I would welcome a book with the entire history.

Holding the collateral duty as command historian, I make what time I can to research the squadron history as well as locate unit memorabilia, collect stories from fellow members (WWII through present day), and present these items of Mystery Photos Can anyone identify either of the two objects in these photos? If you can identify the make or model of the plane or the building, please advise our crack staff. Hint: the building is in Korea and the plane is delivering mail. That’s about all we know. interest to our current members. Unfortunately, our data from late 1945 through the late 1950s is minimal at best. Like most of our nation’s history from the post-WWII draw-down to the Korean War, VMGR-234’s records are sorely lacking. We were known as VMA-234 from 1946 (F4U Corsair), 1955 (F9F Pantherjet), 1958 (AD5N Skyraider) and then to the C-119 in 1961. Here is a brief version of our history: VMF-234 1947-1955......F4U Corsair Minneapolis VMA-234 1955 .............. F9F Pantherjet and AD-5N Skyraider VMR-234 1962 ............ C-119 Currently, we are known as VMGR-234, and we are located at Bldg 1050, NAS Ft Worth JRB, Ft Worth, TX 76127 Is it possible to work through the KWVA as part of a research tool in order to reach out to those who may have served with or been a part of “234” during their careers? We will respect the privacy concerns of your members and will only ask for information if they are willing to volunteer it. This applies for their family members and descendants as well. Since the Korean War was such a pivotal event during this time line, the KWVA seems the most appropriate avenue. The end result, of course, is to gather images, patches, stories, old rosters, memorabilia (on loan if directed) and place those Marines that served on our master list of “234” veterans. Copies of items listed above are just as good.
