My Daddy was Hershel Prince. Some who fought with him are still around. Any stories from anyone who knew him would be greatly appreciated. I lost my Daddy when I was just a boy. All records were lost.

The website is fabulous. We are using your information to help our daughter with her 8th grade history project. Her grandpa was in Korea in 1953. She interviewed him for the project and is gathering background info about the war. Thanks for working on this great treasure trove of knowledge and first-hand accounts.

Admin reply: Thanks very much for your feedback.

Hello, was wondering where I might find a list of Marines sent over to Korea. My late father was there, never talked much about his service, and I am researching his assigned areas of combat. He was in a Marine Recon unit, a scout/sniper, and I was too busy with my own career in the Navy to think to ask him specific details such as, what unit were you attached to? Where in Korea did you patrol? Who was your CO? What caliber rifle did you use? I'm sure regretting it now.

Admin reply: James,

The only list of Marines who fought in Korea is of those who came back in a box, if at all. Sorry.

If you want to just understand your dad's ordeal, to understand him and possibly your own potential a little better, I suggest you read
Dark Horse Six. http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Horse-Six-Memoir-1950-1951/dp/0932572421

It's rare, and correspondingly high price even for used issues, but that's good because you won't be likely to lose it, and your own kids will benefit from reading it some day. I wrote one of the reviews, and can attest that it is the real McCoy.
