    Hq 1st Marine Division, part of 10th Army Corps during the Chosin Reservoir Campaign. From here Lt. Col. Olin Beal and three others rescued many wounded Army men who had escaped from the East Side of the Reservoir by crawling out on the ice. Most of them wounded. Read "East of Chosin" by Roy Appleman for info about the Army units. James Brady's book "The Coldest War: A Memoir of Korea". "Cold As Hell" by a Marine classmate of mine, Joe R. Owen and"The Last Stand of Foc Company" by Bob Drury and Tom Clavin are wonderful historical accounts of the fighting against the Chinese in North Korea in this area. God Bless those who died in the fighting which enabled us to survive. Ed Murphy, Col. USMC Ret.
