Well it's so long ago, 1951. I was 20 years old, turned 21 there, and it was a great experience. We had just received our wings, qualified as pilots with few hours over qualifying, when they said it looked as though the Korean War would be over fairly soon, and we needed that experience. It didn't turn out that way. It all went on until 1953. So I was in 1951, it was a hectic year. It were very experienced pilots gone on the original squadron, and even with them and with us joining we had heavy losses. Almost 29 in the year 1951. Out of the total that we lost the war, 35. So in initial stages the anti aircraft was very bad. But I'm so pleased that I made it because it was an experience, a great experience.\n\n>> What was your rank at the time?\n\n>> I was a second lieutenant. Just shortly received my wings and we were commissioned when I was a second lieutenant.\n\n>> And how old were you?\n\n>> I was 20 years old then, turned 21 during my tour there.\n\n>> How about the rest of the pilots?\n\n>> Well as I said, you know, they were many of World War II pilots, they were just completing their tour already and were returning back to base and we then went as a replacement. And the powers to be thought it would be a great experience before the war would stop and it didn't, in fact, as I said it continued until '53. \n\n>> Did you volunteer or were you ...?\n\n>> Yes.\n\n>> Why?\n\n>> Well, you know what?\n\nI was in Korea, decided on the Air Force as my career and my country had committed to helping the United Nations in the war so it was quite a natural thing. You volunteer and sign on the dotted line and off we went, you know? And looking back, I'm pleased about the great experience. The sad part about it having lost so many close friends. It was such a short period of time.\n\n>> During the war you lost many friends?\n\n>> Yes. Well as I said, you know, it was just in that one first year, 1951, those 29 pilots were lost. We lost a total of 35 so in the initial stages. The anti aircraft and so forth was really hectic, but as that sort of decreased, the losses diminished also. And towards the end, they didn't fly the Mustang anymore like I did. They flew the Saber, which is not as vulnerable, you know, as the Mustang was.\n\n>> The Mustang is very, very famous. Why is it so famous?\n\n>> It started as a great aircraft in World War II, and it was vulnerable in that it had a coolant system, wiping, running, you know, and being so easily damaged by anti aircraft fire. That was the only drawback about it, but it handled well. The endurance was very long. Compared to the Spitfire that I flew previously, which had a very limited flight endurance, the Mustang had a very long endurance. They were flights up to 7 hours, you know, with dropped tanks and so forth.\n\n>> Do you remember a specific battle that was important to South Africa? So in South Africa, only Air Force?\n\n>> Yes. Oh, no, that's wrong. The Air Force was the main contribution that we made on two [INAUDIBLE] squadron. Oversize squadron because replacements, you know, took quite a while because of the distance and so forth. They were only also Army contingents, officers, [Indistinct] to a British regiment. A contra member or fan, I taught 10 of them. Also shared in the war, on the ground forces with the British.\n\n>> Well among other United Nations, there weren't too many Air Force, right?\n\n>> Air Forces contributing, there was your UCEF and our Air Force, and then the British also had aircraft flying from carriers. The Australians had [INAUDIBLE], jet aircraft. Not that successful in the role that they had to do in ground attack after the [INAUDIBLE] in England, and it was a good aircraft but not quite suited for that war. Let's see, I can't think of the other aircraft, the other Air Forces.\n\n>> Did you get to see any civilians? Korean civilians?\n\n>> Out by [INAUDIBLE] down in the south of Korea, there was a naval base not far away and there was a very nice, in the sea, that we could go swimming. And we went there and I met quite a number of the young sailors, would meet us, you know, we were like foreigners and they were inquisitive and we had chats and what have you, and talking to, you know, people from the embassy, that the present attach\u00e9 is from the Navy and he knows [INAUDIBLE] as well [INAUDIBLE]. So we had very enjoyable, in our off periods. We went [INAUDIBLE] in the south, was our main base but then we'd fly up to Seoul with a forward base and we did a lot of the operations we did from there.\n\n>> And you visited Korea again?\n\n>> Yes.\n\n>> When?\n\n>> Three visits.\n\n>> Wow.\n\n>> And my last visit was in June or was it July, and I was very, very pleasantly surprised to be decorated by a decorations and presidential decoration that the minister presented me with in July, it was, I believe.\n\n>> Last year? July 2016?\n\n>> Yes.\n\n>> Wow.\n\n>> So that was quite something.\n\n>> Korea is very different from when you first went.\n\n>> Whoa. You know, it's quite unbelievable. I tried to tell people what a country was ravaged, you know, with the enemy going through Seoul right down to the south and then being pushed back again, and to see that country now, how it's been rebuilt. It's just unbelievable just to see the road system and the building. It's so modern and very, very well organized and tidy. Very, very impressive. It's quite amazing that the industrial development is fantastic.\n\n>> You must be very proud.\n\n>> Oh, yes, and I'm pleased that I made that tiny, tiny little contribution.\n\n>> It was not tiny, it was very big. It was very big. And when you were involved with the association, do you remember serving with some of the members of the association in Korea?\n\n>> A member of?\n\n>> The Korean War Veterans Association here in South Africa. Your comrades.\n\n>> Yes.\n\n>> Yes. Do you remember? Do you serve in the same unit?\n\n>> Well we only had the one unit. Two squadrons.\n\n>> Two squadrons. How many were in each squadron?\n\n>> No we were only one squadron.\n\n>> One squadron. How many?\n\n>> Well pilots, more or less 20 at the time, pilots and they were replaced as they completed their tour and [INAUDIBLE] and so forth.\n\n>> You must have been very close?\n\n>> Oh, yes. Very, very close bond of the people who served in Korea, but there's so few left at the moment.\n\n>> I know.\n\n>> Like today, there are only two of us. My friend, [INAUDIBLE], was a prisoner of war, he would also have been here but he had another commitment and what have you. But I'm not sure off hand, but I don't know whether we have more than 10 or so pilots left, you know? A very good friend of mine passed away last week. [INAUDIBLE].\n\n>> Did you say you were also captured?\n\n>> Say again.\n\n>> Were you also captured?\n\n>> No, no, no. I was fortunate. I spent just over 4 hours on the ground, very far north of Pyongyang, near the Yalu River, but I was fortunate I was picked up by helicopter after about, just over 4 hours.\n\n>> How did you get stranded on the ground? Why were you on the ground?\n\n>> I had to bail out of my aircraft.\n\n>> Why?\n\n>> Because it wouldn't fly anymore it was, so I had to bail out by parachute.\n\n>> Really? By yourself?\n\n>> Yes, a single seat aircraft, you know, it's a fighter aircraft.\n\n>> And who picked you up? South Africans?\n\n>> No, no, no. A helicopter that was launched from an American ship, the Gunston Hall. This is Gunston Hall.\n\n>> But how did they see you?\n\n>> Well they were given the map reference and I could navigate there, and as it happened, it was very mountainous there and [INAUDIBLE] and I could hear this chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck come from an ACE51 Sikorsky approaching me and so forth. And I'll never forget that welcome site when he hovered, he didn't land he just hovered and they lowered a rope and they hoisted me up and the pilot turned around and shook my hand, and then we went out again and on the way out we were fired at again and was hit a few times. When we were escorted again by fighters going out, and I wasn't aware what the damage was on the aircraft, but on the first approach to land on the ship we had to go around again. He couldn't land because with the controls I think there was something wrong with the controls. And then on the second attempt we landed and so forth. And then I was taken to the sick bay and when I arrived there there was an American pilot from [INAUDIBLE] that had been shot down and he unfortunately lifted too late before he decided to bail out, and he was fairly badly burnt, you know, on his hands and his face and so forth. I had the advantage that one our pilots had also lifted a bit late so we all knew if the temperature started going off the clock, it was time for you to make sure that you got out in time before it burst into flames. \n\n>> The helicopter that picked you up, was it United Air Force or Navy pilots?\n\n>> Naval pilot, yes.\n\n>> Wow.\n\n>> USS Gunston Hall. Later on somebody visited America and per chance, one of our newspapers met the captain of the ship who was at the time, and I've got some newspaper cuttings and so forth, you know, and he also explained, repeated the story again and what have you. That's quite a small world.\n\n>> So he was a Naval pilot who picked you up?\n\n>> Yes, yes.\n\n>> And you got to meet him again?\n\n>> No, no, unfortunately not.\n\n>> You later learned about him?\n\n>> Yes. The newspaper man from South Africa visited America and by chance met that captain of the ship. It was a captain of the USS Gunston Hall at the time.\n\n>> What was it called? USS?\n\n>> Duston Hall was the name of the ship.\n\n>> Dunston Hall, and the Navy pilot was from that ship. USS Gunston Hall.\n\n>> Yeah.\n\n>> Wow. You know it would be so fascinating for you to have a reunion with some of the people because I interview many veterans, and they talk about each other, you know, like British talk about Australian. British talk about, you know, Americans. So it would be nice to do a reunion. Did you have any Australians? Did you see any Australians?\n\n>> Once there were some Australian pilots who visited us and we had quite a party and so forth but they were, you know, at another base quite a distance. But we were three American squadrons with our squadron, formed the 18 Fighter Bomber [INAUDIBLE]. And we had very, very good relationship with the three American squadrons. Very, very good experience.\n\n>> What did you do for rest when you didn't have missions?\n\n>> Well the main thing was swimming, as I mentioned, you know. Near that naval base. I think that was, fortunately, I was there only in summer. If you talk to people who were there in winter, that's another story.\n\n>> I think you were fortunate.\n\n>> Very fortunate.\n\n>> Yes.\n\n>> So time off ...\n\n>> How long was your service? How many months?\n\n>> I was only there for over 5 months, and I've completed the ...\n\n>> In 1951?\n\n>>... the normal tour we had to do was 75 missions, but I went down on my 73rd one and when I got back, you know, the helicopter picked me up and then I went, was taken by small ship to a island, Ryodo Island, off the Wonsan harbor and then with a very icy sort of a trip in the [INAUDIBLE] aircraft, went back to my base and so forth. And when I walked into the office, because we had lost so many of our young, of course, already, as I walked in he said, \"Mike, pack your bags, you're going home.\" So I still had two, three missions to go, but he said, \"You've had enough.\" Because there were so many of our course, you know, who had been shot down.\n\n>> So on average, how many missions did you fly per day?\n\n>> The most, possibly four. On average, it's difficult to say actually, because as I said, we'd fly missions and then you'd have a day or so off and then you fly missions again. By far the most I think we ever did was four, because it was mostly long missions, you know? Two hours, three, four hours. So it varied a lot depending on what type of mission it was and so forth.\n\n>> And you would look for the enemies?\n\n>> Well our main, our task was ground attack. We mainly looked for vehicles bringing down ammunition and supplies and what have you.\n\n>> And you would shoot them?\n\n>> And then we would [INAUDIBLE] them out. And I became so clever and so good at camouflage, eventually they didn't travel by day at all. They'd only travel by night. And during the day they would hide their vehicles so well it was quite something. But it's quite amazing, actually, one of my early missions I flew with one of the experienced pilots, [INAUDIBLE] officer from World War II, who was a ground attack pilot. And I could then learn from him and we all learned from him. We were a number of [INAUDIBLE] young pilot. We flew out to another target and he spotted some vehicles, and he made his first attack and fired and then when the first vehicle burst into flames, we could also then make out the other vehicles but I'm sure if we'd flown past there, we would never have seen the vehicles. So it was his experience that helped up and so we also became quite experienced.\n\n>> There were solo missions.\n\n>> Say again.\n\n>> Solo missions, or did you fly alongside?\n\n>> No, flight of four.\n\n>> Four.\n\n>> We're normally a flight of four and then we did the big [INAUDIBLE] we did on Pyongyang, we had 64. We had the biggest with 64 aircraft.\n\n>> Sixty four aircraft? Not all South African though?\n\n>> Oh, no, no, no, no. The three American squadrons and our squadron, so we make up a quarter of the squadron.\n\n>> And how many losses did you suffer from that one, out of the 64?\n\n>> On that one we lost the one pilot. It was quite a sad loss because at the time he was a South African high jumping champion, you know.\n\n>> What's a high jumping champion?\n\n>> Pardon.\n\n>> Can you explain to me about the jumper? You said lost his ...\n\n>> An athletic high jumping when you have two poles and a crossbar.\n\n>> And he was a champion?\n\n>> At that stage he started with an American roll, I think it was called, [INAUDIBLE] quite a lot now [INAUDIBLE] they sort of go over on their back to cross the crossbar, but his record stood for several years after that. South African high jumping record.\n\n>> Did he [INAUDIBLE]?\n\n>> That was a sad loss. He would have made a very good rugby player. He was a great rugby player, also. Twenty years old.\n\n>> He got shot down? His plane got shot down?\n\n>> Say again.\n\n>> His plane got shot down? His plane?\n\n>> Yes, yes, yes. He called up, he said, \"I've been hit. I'm heading for the coast but I don't think I'll make it,\" and then he was cut off. I think the aircraft possibly burst into flames or so.\n\n>> Do you know when that happened? When the pilot's aircraft is down and his body is burned, then how do you retrieve the remains?\n\n>> Oh, no. There are very few remains. We lost quite a percentage of our pilots, which never recovered because [INAUDIBLE] it's on the other side of the bomb line.\n\n>> Not even the dog tags?\n\n>> No. Very, very few were recovered if they were near the bomb line, you know. The diving line between enemy forces and our own forces. No, I can't quote you the numbers now. I know of a person, I got close friends with him, he was a captain and a very experienced pilot from World War II. I think later on the area where he went down, had been recovered and was in our own friendly territory. They traced the remains, and he was buried in the memorial cemetery down in Pusan.\n\n>> I will be going there.\n\n>> Is it?\n\n>> Yes.\n\n>> Well there you will see, I can't remember off hand now, possibly seven or so of the graves. And the other people who were not recovered because they were too far into enemy territory.\n\n>> I'm going to the memorial today.\n\n>> Say again.\n\n>> I'm going to the memorial today, and I will pay my respects.\n\n>> Oh, I appreciate that.\n\n>> Thank you so much.\n\n>> My pleasure.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-3 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 pt-cv-content-item pt-cv-1-col\"  data-pid=\"47153\"><div class='pt-cv-ifield'><a href=\"https:\/\/koreanwarmemorials.com\/ko\/story\/5-27-omaha-nebraska\/\" class=\"_self pt-cv-href-thumbnail pt-cv-thumb-default cvplbd cvp-responsive-image img-none\" target=\"_self\" data-iw=\"300\" data-ih=\"300\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Honoring Korean War Veterans - 5\/27 OMAHA, NEBRASKA\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WDDtLM5pmow?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/a>\n<div class=\"pt-cv-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/koreanwarmemorials.com\/ko\/story\/5-27-omaha-nebraska\/\" class=\"_self cvplbd\" target=\"_self\" data-iw=\"300\" data-ih=\"300\">5\/27\u00a0\uc624\ub9c8\ud558,\u00a0\ub124\ube0c\ub798\uc2a4\uce74<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-3 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 pt-cv-content-item pt-cv-1-col\"  data-pid=\"47255\"><div class='pt-cv-ifield'><a href=\"https:\/\/koreanwarmemorials.com\/ko\/story\/8-30-honolulu-hawaii-11\/\" class=\"_self pt-cv-href-thumbnail pt-cv-thumb-default cvplbd cvp-responsive-image img-none\" target=\"_self\" data-iw=\"300\" data-ih=\"300\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Honoring Korean War Veterans - 8\/30 HONOLULU, HAWAII (11)\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bQhNQONiS3g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/a>\n<div class=\"pt-cv-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/koreanwarmemorials.com\/ko\/story\/8-30-honolulu-hawaii-11\/\" class=\"_self cvplbd\" target=\"_self\" data-iw=\"300\" data-ih=\"300\">8\/30\u00a0\ud638\ub180\ub8f0\ub8e8,\u00a0\ud558\uc640\uc774 (11)<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"wrap-collabsible\">\n  <input id=\"collapsible-47255\" class=\"toggle\" type=\"checkbox\">\n  <label for=\"collapsible-47255\" class=\"lbl-toggle\">Transcription<\/label>\n  <div class=\"collapsible-content\">\n    <div class=\"content-inner\">\n      <div class=\"field transcription\">\n        <div class=\"field-value\"><p>&gt;&gt; Hello, my name is Tommy Tahara, and then I was stationed at Camp [INAUDIBLE] in [INAUDIBLE], Japan, before the Korean War. That was in 1950 when &#8230; And then when the Korean War started, I was in the 7th Division, Company E &#8230; No, Company F. &#8220;Fox Company,&#8221; they call it, Fox Company, and then I was stationed in Camp [INAUDIBLE], and then &#8230; What do you call it? When the war started, took none of our personnel from our company and put them in the 44 and 25th Division, so we were left. We were [INAUDIBLE] starting [INAUDIBLE] our company. So, actually, we went in August. We went to Camp Fuji, and we were waiting for the KATUSAs to come in. They picked up all the young kids or whoever old men from Korea, and they loaded up them on a ship, and they shipped them to Yokohama, and then they trained them to Camp Fuji. That was in August of 1950, and one of a friend &#8230; He&#8217;s the old chapter. He&#8217;s a KATUSA. His name is Seok, and then he was with the 7th Division. Our 7th Division, we had about 9,000 KATUSAs, and every company had about 100 KATUSAs. In other words, that made us, you know, combat-ready, but we had to train those guys because they came from Korea, and when they hit our cafeteria, our kitchen, they&#8217;d get a cup of coffee. They&#8217;d put about 10 teaspoonful of sugar in there because, you know, sugar was &#8230; They couldn&#8217;t get it in Korea, but anyway, they were terrible. They had diarrhea and all that after that, but after we trained them only for about 3 weeks, and then we loaded up on a ship, and we sailed to Korea. We waited in Pusan Harbor, and we waited outside of Pusan Harbor and waited for Operation Chromite. That was invasion of Korea with the 1st Marine Division and the 7th Division, Infantry Regiment. Anyway, I was in the 17th Infantry Regiment, and my friend Seok was in the 31st Infantry Regiment, and okay. We landed in Inchon, and then we headed towards Seoul, but at that time when we left, we were still young. I was only a [INAUDIBLE] 19 years old, and then we saw all the dead bodies all over the train station, civilians and all that. First time we saw those dead bodies, and most of us &#8230; Korean civilians over there. They&#8217;re &#8230; I guess they got killed by the bombing and all the artillery and the ships because we had over 100 ships outside of Inchon. Anyway, after that we went to where the first battle. It was a hill over Seoul, and then that&#8217;s the first time I saw bullets flying all over my head, and my buddy right next to me, he got shot right in the throat. He was standing right next to me, and he got shot in the throat, and you know how frightened you get because that&#8217;s the first time you see a guy bleeding from the throat now. Anyway after that, we headed towards Suwon and Suwon side, down south. It was the North Koreans were retreating back. It was we were coming back from the Naktong River side. They were coming back up, and we were going down and meeting them, so we had some few battles over there, around [INAUDIBLE] Suwon earlier, and later on, you know, until almost October, they trained &#8230; We&#8217;re a convoy bound to Pusan, and from Pusan, we loaded up on our LST and then we headed up north on our [INAUDIBLE]. What sea was that? Japan&#8217;s sea all the way up north, and then we passed Wonsan and we landed in Iwon. That was in November of 1950, so you see, the 7th Division had three regiments: 17th Infantry Regiment, the 31st Infantry Regiment and the 32nd Infantry Regiment, and I was with 17th. Okay, that&#8217;s &#8230; I think the 31st one on our left, they closed the Marine side, the 1st Marine Division. They came up from Wonsan, riding down &#8230; What it called? San &#8230; What it called? Sanjin, or they&#8217;re &#8230; Anyway, they call that [INAUDIBLE]. I think they call it Hyesanjin. Hyesanjin, that area. Anyway, the Marines were on the left side of the Reservoir. Then couple of battalions of the 31st and 32nd went on the right side of the river, and our friend Seok was in the 31st. He was on the left side, and our 17th, we went up our way through Kaesong. We&#8217;re 80 miles above the [INAUDIBLE] to Chosin Reservoir. We ride up to Kaesong and then to Hyesanjin. It was right on the Yalu River over there, and we still [INAUDIBLE] was in the [INAUDIBLE] yeah. Anyway, was in the [INAUDIBLE]. October\/November, anyway. That&#8217;s the first time I saw snow. The first time I saw snow, I&#8217;m from Hawaii, and it was real warm. [INAUDIBLE] just like cotton falling down, you know? So excited. Anyway, we went inside our [INAUDIBLE] first, before [INAUDIBLE] on Yalu River, and then [INAUDIBLE], we found a reindeer [INAUDIBLE] over there, so the guys shot one reindeer, and that was before Thanksgiving now, so they hang up the reindeer, and they cut it all up here, and I think I ate some. I&#8217;m not sure [INAUDIBLE]. Anyway, after that, we stayed there in, what do you call, Hyesanjin for a couple of weeks of [INAUDIBLE] in the new [INAUDIBLE], once you&#8217;re in [INAUDIBLE]. It was so cold, so anyway, right about that time, the Chinese came down, right through there, or [INAUDIBLE], what [INAUDIBLE] got paid back or something like that, and then the Chinese kept pouring in, so we had to retreat, so what we did was threw the [INAUDIBLE] lot of our equipment. We dropped. We [INAUDIBLE]. Another we had [INAUDIBLE] we couldn&#8217;t carry. We could run it, and then we kind of retreated back there. I think, gee, that must have been about over 100 miles to Hamhung, H, A, M, H, U, N, G, Hamhung, and then I think in a couple of weeks, we entered Hamhung, and we set up out base outside of &#8230; The 1st Marine was trapped inside here by the Chosin Reservoir, with about two, three regiments of the 7th Division, 31st and 32nd. I think that was called task force [INAUDIBLE]. Anyway, so we were down by Hamhung, and we set up our position over there in the &#8230; What do you call it? When the Marines got to the trap over there, they escaped. They came down from Hungnam. Hungnam, it was, Hungnam, and they moved to Hamhung, Hamhung. That&#8217;s where they had the big park over there, and we had, oh, so many ships out there, Japanese ships, all kind of ships because we had to escape. We had to get away. Whatever equipment we could carry, and then we load it up on the ship. Was in almost December, almost Christmastime, and the whole division loaded up on a ship, LST or whatever, and then we headed to Pusan. Again, the last outfit that left there was the 3rd Division. They were the last ones there, to blow up all the places that Hungnam, Hungnam, the park over there. And then December, Christmas, almost New Year&#8217;s, we were in Pusan, and then we had frostbite. Most of us had frostbite because the cold. Sometimes it was about 30 to 40 below 0, and the wind was terrible. You cannot go outside and just use the toilet over there because it&#8217;s so cold, you can&#8217;t &#8230; You know what I mean. Thirty, 40 below 0, so all our hands all black. You see my hands? Oh, yeah, all black. Anyway, so anyway, we went to Seoul or Pusan. We went to medical. They checked us out, and I guess at that time to last [INAUDIBLE] leave like a South Korean troop, so they got something out. At that time in the &#8217;50s, a [INAUDIBLE] Caucasian, Asian. They&#8217;d call us gooks, again, even though I&#8217;m an American, but since I&#8217;m Asiatic and I look like a South Koreans or whatever, and they looked down on us, some of them, and some of them are nice, but anyway, after that, in January of &#8217;51, we went up north again. [INAUDIBLE] set up position. Maybe [INAUDIBLE]. I know I remember when Chief [INAUDIBLE] someplace in the [INAUDIBLE]. They said Chief [INAUDIBLE] had a gold mine, so everyone [INAUDIBLE] gold mine [INAUDIBLE], and then [INAUDIBLE] went up to [INAUDIBLE], [INAUDIBLE], and then they all went to this, so the reservoir over there, I think it was [INAUDIBLE] or something like that, and then there was a lot of fighting over there, and actually scariest fighting we had was in February of 1951. At night, as a first stand we had a attack from, what do you call, like a bonsai attack where all of [INAUDIBLE] shoot the flares up in the air and the trumpet and the bugle and all that, and they come charging up there. That was the scariest one because you was young and only 19 years old. Anyway, that was the first experience. I said that [INAUDIBLE] because in the dock, you just keep firing. You don&#8217;t know who you&#8217;re shooting at because [INAUDIBLE], and a lot of troops died here. In fact, the scariest thing is when you shoot in a foxhole, and you wake up in the morning, and your companion is missing because the Chinese coming. You&#8217;re in a sleeping bag, sleeping. They grab the sleeping bag and drag you. They drag you, so when you look at, your buddy is gone. It&#8217;s very scary, so actually when I came back home, I used to get nightmares. When you&#8217;re in bed, you get what they call PTSD. [INAUDIBLE] screaming in bed, and you are yelling. Yeah, I was like that all those years. Anyway, after June or from 1951, they gave me a, what do you call, rotated. They rotated me out because I had enough points, so instead of coming back to Hawaii, I met my friend in Sasebo. Sasebo, and you know what he did? My friend, he went to personnel, and he changed my order, saying that he&#8217;s &#8230; I&#8217;m going to what do you call? I&#8217;m going to the East Coast with him, and he gave my name and his address, so they shipped me over to &#8230; on a ship, and we went to San Francisco, and the three of us, with friends, took a train all the way to Chicago and, from Chicago, caught another train to Baltimore. Went to Baltimore. In Baltimore, my friend, he had a wealthy family. They had a hotel, like a inn, a restaurant and a barber shop, so my friend&#8217;s dad, he bought him a new convertible, Ford convertible, and that was in &#8217;51. Let me see what&#8217;s that, July &#8230; No, it was in August, September. Two months I was staying with him in Baltimore, called Baltimore. Anyway, we had a lot of fun. Then we separated. He went to Fort Benning, Georgia, and they sent me up to Fort Dix, New Jersey, so I was with the 39th, the 9th Infantry Division, 39th Infantry Regiment. There was a basic-training company, and then, see, I couldn&#8217;t stand the New Jersey weather. It was terrible. It was so cold. [INAUDIBLE] Atlantic Ocean, but it was &#8230; because I had all frozen hands, fingers. I didn&#8217;t like the cold, so I said, &#8220;I need a transfer.&#8221; So they tell me, &#8220;Where you want to go?&#8221; They gave me three options: 3S, it was on the great [INAUDIBLE] 3S [INAUDIBLE] same thing or Germany or Japan. When they said Japan, I said, &#8220;Oh, okay! Okay, I&#8217;ll go back to Japan,&#8221; so they sent me back to Japan, but you know where they sent me? They sent me with the first captain, the first captain that [INAUDIBLE] Korea from [INAUDIBLE] to [INAUDIBLE] Okaido. I went with a &#8230; They sent me with a 7th, I mean a 1st Cav, 7th Cavalry Regiment in support, outside [INAUDIBLE] Cav [INAUDIBLE] profit, so we had ski training over there, and anyway, I was there for all about, what, 2 months. Then I went AWOL. You know AWOL? And when I came back after about a week, they threw me in the brig, all of us in the brig. Well, they sent us back to Korea! Instead of giving us [INAUDIBLE], they sent us all back to Korea, so I ended up with a 3rd Division, so 3rd Division when I went there was in 2nd Battalion. They send me to 2nd Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Division. This guy &#8230; They sent me to his headquarters company. It&#8217;s like a, what do you call, this Japanese guy, Futo. He was heading a squad of Koreans who could speak Chinese and all kind of Shanghai and Mandarin and all that, and then they could speak Japanese and, of course, Korean, so anyway, a squad of Crown, we call that the King Fishes, so I was put in charge of that. I was a squad leader for that, and it was all Koreans, and they don&#8217;t know Japanese. I could speak a little Japanese, so that&#8217;s why they put me in there. Anyway, what we did was &#8230; Everybody, we had some radio and we&#8217;d listen to the, what do you call, the Chinese and the North Koreans, whatever they say on their radio where they communicate, and we intercept them, and we tried to decode what they&#8217;re saying. They&#8217;re all talking [INAUDIBLE] we call it [INAUDIBLE]. The Chinese are talking code, so they&#8217;d translate to me in Japanese, and I&#8217;d try to translate it in English to the battalion headquarters. Most of the time, we were up on the hill because when we sent out a patrol at night, that&#8217;s when you &#8230; We had to listen to see if the enemy is &#8230; They came on the patrol that&#8217;s coming in, so anyway, sometimes when we&#8217;re up on the lookout, way up there and then we&#8217;re looking down, and then the Chinese threw artilleries, hundreds of artillery on us. In fact, one time the artillery was so close, it hit our bunker and then blasted us. It was almost a bit, only about 4 feet or 5 feet in front of me. I said the whole bunker, and I had three, four Koreans with me that were translators. All of us in that bunk [INAUDIBLE], and before I knew it, I was on a helicopter. They sent us back because my eardrum was blasted. Couldn&#8217;t hear, had concussion, and so they sent me back to the back. I don&#8217;t know how far back we went but helicopter. It was the first time I rode in a helicopter, and I was so scared. You know, helicopter is so nice, so small. Those days, the helicopters were small. Anyway, I was there for almost 1 month, and they sent me back to the company, and you know what? To this day, I cannot remember anybody, the first sergeant, the captain in that time. When I came back, I don&#8217;t know how I came back, and it took me months and years to find out how I came back, and I had PTSD. Anyway, when I came back in 1953, I&#8217;m telling you, oh, I didn&#8217;t know what to do because I couldn&#8217;t remember a lot of stuff. It was because of that concussion and all that. My doctor said maybe I had something, amnesia. You forget, yeah? And those days you didn&#8217;t have this kind of VA and all that. I had to go to a private doctor, and the private doctor &#8230; My hands were all blue and cold. They thought I had Raynaud&#8217;s disease, so I had to quit smoking, and I had to quit drinking coffee because it affected my hands, so to this day, I don&#8217;t drink coffee or smoke. I used to smoke two packs a day, but &#8230; Ah, that&#8217;s okay. Anyway, after that, when I came home in &#8217;53, I found a job in the Marshall Islands with AEC, Atomic Energy Commission. We were testing those atomic bombs or hydrogen bomb, so we were a service company [INAUDIBLE] and in our, let me see, [INAUDIBLE] November. November, I went back to the Marshall Islands to stay there in Enewetok Atoll. Enewetok Atoll has about 22 small islands, and we were on Parry Island, and then what we did was our company was service [INAUDIBLE] of scientists, the army personnel there. You know, we&#8217;d clean. We&#8217;d clean their house, laundry, everything. It&#8217;s the kind of job we had. Anyway, I stayed there for about a year and a half. Then I came home for a couple months. Then I went back, and I did that for about 6 years until &#8230; from end of 1953 to about 1959. Almost 6 years I did that. And after that, when I came back, I worked for the US Post Office, and then at the post office, I was assigned as to deliver mail. At that time, we were delivering mail with a motorcycle, motorcycle with a sidecar. We&#8217;d put all the mail in a sidecar and then deliver the mail, so actually after that we had trucks, all different kind of trucks, and during that 44 years I worked as a carrier, I got bit six times by dogs because at first when you ride in a motorcycle, we didn&#8217;t have any leash law in Hawaii. Leash law is you&#8217;ve got to leash the dogs, but the dogs were always running loose all over the place, and they&#8217;d chase the motorcycle and jump on you, and they&#8217;d bite you. I got bit six times. Anyway, after that, we had the leash law, so they had to tie down the dog or put them in a fenced house, so they cannot be running around loose, so I was 44 years as a carrier, and then I retired in 2004. Ah, that&#8217;s about it.<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt; And right now you play such an instrumental role &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt; And then in 1988, I joined our chapter, Chapter One, and then later on, 1988 and about 2006 or 2007, I started helping out with the POW\/MIA guys. They used to come every year to what you call a reunion. Every year we had a guy in our [INAUDIBLE] POW [INAUDIBLE] Matsumoto, and he used to handle that, and I used to help him with our [INAUDIBLE]. Anyway, that&#8217;s how I learned how to do things, how to make a reunion in order. After I knew how to do that, I had to contact with all the personnel down in Hickam, down in Camp Schmidt, Hickam, and then me &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt; What &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt; Me and another guy, we did all our chapter&#8217;s event, even punch bowl event or [INAUDIBLE], whatever event we had in [INAUDIBLE] Christmas or whatever.<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt; What does it mean to you, the legacy of Korean War veterans?<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt; What&#8217;s that?<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt; The legacy of Korean War veterans, what is it to you?<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt; At first, we didn&#8217;t know where Korea was actually. I&#8217;m telling you, but we heard of Korea, but when we went there, the first thing we saw was, the Koreans at that time, they always walking with that hat. What do you call it, the long hat, the black hat?<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt; The gat.<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt; Yeah, with the [INAUDIBLE].<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt; Yes, gat, gat.<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt; And they got white, white shirt. Everybody wore white those days and then the smell of the, what do you call that thing, honey bucket? They used that as fertilizer, yeah? They put on the whatever, the waste from each house. They put it in a bucket, and they get the ox to move it, and we would see that, and what they did was they threw that thing, that dew, into the rice field as a fertilizer, but that&#8217;s the first time we seen it. Anyway, Korea, when we left over there, it was a wreck, nothing. Everything was flat, and I was surprised when I came back for the revisit. I think it was in 2001, the first summer I came back. Wow, everything was built in [INAUDIBLE], those big towers, all that. I was really surprised. I tell you, though, Koreans, they really worked hard, and they did a good job. And I guess they always respect [INAUDIBLE] soldiers or whatever for helping them out because if it wasn&#8217;t for American soldiers, our soldiers from the different countries that helped Korea, Korea would be just nothing, just like the North now. Look at the North. At night, you cannot even see the lights, so anyway, I&#8217;m really thankful that Korea is what it is today. Okay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-3 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 pt-cv-content-item pt-cv-1-col\"  data-pid=\"47298\"><div class='pt-cv-ifield'><a href=\"https:\/\/koreanwarmemorials.com\/ko\/story\/colombia-bogota-11\/\" class=\"_self pt-cv-href-thumbnail pt-cv-thumb-default cvplbd cvp-responsive-image img-none\" target=\"_self\" data-iw=\"300\" data-ih=\"300\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Korean War Veteran in Colombia (11) - Bogota\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FeAphw17q4E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/a>\n<div class=\"pt-cv-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/koreanwarmemorials.com\/ko\/story\/colombia-bogota-11\/\" class=\"_self cvplbd\" target=\"_self\" data-iw=\"300\" data-ih=\"300\">\ucf5c\ub86c\ube44\uc544\u00a0\ubcf4\uace0\ud0c0 (11)<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"wrap-collabsible\">\n  <input id=\"collapsible-47298\" class=\"toggle\" type=\"checkbox\">\n  <label for=\"collapsible-47298\" class=\"lbl-toggle\">Transcription<\/label>\n  <div class=\"collapsible-content\">\n    <div class=\"content-inner\">\n      <div class=\"field transcription\">\n        <div class=\"field-value\"><p>&#8211; Mi nombre es Carlos Guillermo la Torre Franco, pertenezco a la Asociaci\u00f3n Colombiana de Veteranos en la Guerra de Corea. Me fui en el a\u00f1o 52, salimos de Colombia y llegamos a Corea en el a\u00f1o 53 en el mes de enero. Estuvimos en entrenamiento hasta el mes de marzo y luego entramos al primer batalla de, de ese contingente en el marzo del 53. El 10 de marzo de 1953, asaltamos el cerro 180 ocasion\u00e1ndole a los chinos y a los coreanos del norte grandes bajas. Salimos de ah\u00ed y entramos al Old Baldyel 13 de marzo de 1953 hasta el 23 de marzo, que fue cuando hubo la batalla m\u00e1s grande que ha tenido el batall\u00f3n Colombia hasta la fecha. Y de ah\u00ed salimos a reserva, yo fui herido el 23 en las horas de la noche y sal\u00ed al otro d\u00eda el 24, camin\u00e9 hasta la 1:00 de la tarde, hasta que me recogi\u00f3 un tanque y me ech\u00f3 para el batall\u00f3n, donde me enviaron en ambulancia hasta Se\u00fal al\u2026 hospital, all\u00e1 en Se\u00fal. All\u00e1 dur\u00e9, aproximadamente, un mes, y me iban a devolver para Colombia, pero me devolvieron para la primera l\u00ednea, porque, como fue tan delicada la batalla, el batall\u00f3n qued\u00f3 diezmado, y hubo necesidad de reforzar con los heridos que ya estaban alentados. Estuvimos hasta el mes de noviembre del 53, cuando regresamos a Colombia, llegando aqu\u00ed el 24 de diciembre de 1953. Yo continu\u00e9 en el ej\u00e9rcito y estuve en tratamiento ambulatorio hasta el a\u00f1o, hasta el mes de septiembre del 54, aproximadamente, donde me trasladaron para el departamento Tolima, donde estaba la violencia, o sea, el problema de las FARC, en esa \u00e9poca muy delicado en esa zona del pa\u00eds. Permanec\u00ed hasta el a\u00f1o de 1955, donde solicit\u00e9 mi\u2026 baja, y me dieron de baja el primero de enero, primero de febrero de 1955. Y ah\u00ed me retir\u00e9, estuve trabajando en la contralor\u00eda de la rep\u00fablica, despu\u00e9s entr\u00e9 a trabajar a Cervecer\u00eda Andina, una de las empresas cerveceras que hab\u00eda aqu\u00ed en esa \u00e9poca, fuera de lo que es Bavaria. De ah\u00ed sal\u00ed y trabaj\u00e9 durante 18 a\u00f1os en, en la Cervecer\u00eda Andina, y luego, pas\u00e9 a la f\u00e1brica de muebles Artecto, que era una de las f\u00e1bricas m\u00e1s grandes que hab\u00eda en Suram\u00e9rica. De ah\u00ed me retir\u00e9 y entr\u00e9 a trabajar al Hip\u00f3dromos de Colombia. Ese es un hip\u00f3dromo que queda en el norte de Bogot\u00e1. De ah\u00ed sal\u00ed y me contrataron para Costa Rica, la rep\u00fablica de Costa Rica. Estuve de, de jefe de seguridad industrial all\u00e1 en Costa Rica. Despu\u00e9s de ah\u00ed entr\u00e9 a trabajar con el COE, Cuerpo de Ingenieros de los Estados Unidos en la elaboraci\u00f3n del aeropuerto antinarc\u00f3ticos en el departamento del Tolima, en la ciudad de Mariquita, Tolima. Trabaje ah\u00ed 6 a\u00f1os, hasta que terminamos el aeropuerto. De ah\u00ed sal\u00ed, de ah\u00ed la empresa me mand\u00f3 para el\u2026 a la hechura de unos puentes que se hicieron all\u00e1, y despu\u00e9s ya estuve en una petrolera en Agua Azul. \u00bfDeseas algo m\u00e1s?<br \/>\n&#8211; \u00bfQu\u00e9 recuerdas de Corea?<br \/>\n&#8211; Yo\u2026 nosotros \u00e9ramos muy j\u00f3venes\u2026 yo cumpl\u00ed los 19 a\u00f1os all\u00e1. Nosotros, la mayor\u00eda, yo fui trasladado porque yo era suboficial. Nosotros, la mayor\u00eda fue voluntario. Despu\u00e9s de que estuvimos ac\u00e1, s\u00ed nos preguntaron qui\u00e9nes quer\u00edamos ir y qui\u00e9nes no. Ya estando en la escuela de infanter\u00eda todos fuimos voluntarios. Cuando nosotros, el batall\u00f3n Colombia, estaba fundado, nosotros pertenec\u00edamos a la compa\u00f1\u00eda de reemplazos del batall\u00f3n Colombia. Cuando nosotros salimos de Bogot\u00e1, ya est\u00e1bamos directamente a \u00f3rdenes de las Naciones Unidas. El batall\u00f3n Colombia era una de las unidades de los 20 pa\u00edses que fuimos a Corea que pertenec\u00edamos a las Naciones Unidas. El batall\u00f3n Colombia trabajaba independiente, \u00fanicamente recib\u00edan las \u00f3rdenes del comando batall\u00f3n y la transmit\u00eda a, pero directamente, los oficiales comandantes de nosotros colombianos. Nosotros somos\u2026 cuando est\u00e1bamos en reserva ten\u00edamos el acompa\u00f1amiento de int\u00e9rpretes coreanos. Me acuerdo que le dec\u00edamos Oscar al nombre de \u00e9l le dec\u00edamos Oscar.<br \/>\n&#8211; S\u00ed.<br \/>\n&#8211; \u2026no solamente hac\u00edan las veces de int\u00e9rpretes, si no tambi\u00e9n controlaban al personal de trabajadores coreanos y nos ayudaban en el, en el aseo en el campamento, y otras, otras, otras cosas que hac\u00edan. De ah\u00ed para ac\u00e1, cuando regresamos hasta la presente, pues, yo veo muy agradecido con Corea, porque la \u00fanica, el \u00fanico pa\u00eds que nos ha ayudado a nosotros, porque creo que Colombia es el \u00fanico pa\u00eds que no ha ayudado a sus veteranos. Puedes preguntar a Etiop\u00eda que hay m\u00e1s pobres que en Colombia y ellos tienen muy bien las ventajas. Nosotros no ten\u00edamos, ni siquiera, el servicio m\u00e9dico del hospital militar. Colombia no nos ha reconocido completamente nada. Hemos pasado varios proyectos al congreso y nos los han echado para atr\u00e1s. Entonces, nosotros queremos a Corea, porque Corea nos est\u00e1 ayudando en la educaci\u00f3n de nuestros nietos. Cuando lo mismo que Samsung, Samsung, la rep\u00fablica de Corea y otras empresas coreanas\u2026 nos colabora. La asociaci\u00f3n vive de lo que nosotros mismos aportamos mensualmente. Porque, si no fuera as\u00ed, ella habr\u00eda desaparecido. En este momento tenemos muchos compa\u00f1eros, porque todos estamos viejos y enfermos, y aqu\u00ed no ha habido un gobierno que nos haya colaborado en lo m\u00e1s m\u00ednimo. Nosotros tenemos muchas ilusiones, y yo estuve hace cuatro en Corea, estaba visit\u00e1ndola. Est\u00e1 transformada totalmente, de lo que conocimos a lo que es hoy en d\u00eda, es unas ciudades extraordinarias, muy bonitas. La gente coreana es muy agradecida con nosotros, en la calle, donde nos encuentran nos abrazan, nos dan las gracias siempre en todas partes. Ahora, nosotros nos sentimos hermanos de, de ustedes los coreanos, y siempre decimos el hermano coreano, porque eso, eso, eso es lo que sentimos nosotros. El cari\u00f1o que les tenemos al pueblo coreano, y creo que el pueblo coreano tambi\u00e9n nos tiene mucho cari\u00f1o a nosotros.<br \/>\n&#8211; \u00bfY qu\u00e9 quiere del futuro de Corea? Porque la guerra no termina.<br \/>\n&#8211; Yo s\u00e9, el problema que hay todav\u00eda con Corea del Norte no se ha terminado, porque la firma del Armisticio, que no fue la paz, entonces, yo estaba en la \u00e9poca que se firm\u00f3 el Armisticio, y el d\u00eda que se firm\u00f3 el Armisticio, nos salud\u00e1bamos con los chinos, \u201cHey, China\u201d, \u201cHey, Colombia\u201d. Por fuera de las, de las casamatas y todos encima de ellos nos salud\u00e1bamos, los ten\u00edamos cerca. Y de las 2 veces, el primer intento que hubo de cese al fuego, tambi\u00e9n me cogi\u00f3 a m\u00ed all\u00e1, y el segundo tambi\u00e9n, que fue la firma del Armisticio, que fue en Panmunjom. All\u00e1 entregaron a los prisioneros colombianos y Colombia entreg\u00f3, las Naciones Unidas entregaron a los prisioneros coreanos del norte. Son unas ciudades extraordinarias, el comercio es muy grande, Corea tiene un futuro extraordinario, hay muchas empresas, mucho empuje, la gente es muy educada, porque el pap\u00e1 de la presidenta que fue un presidente un poco duro, impuls\u00f3 mucho el, el, el comercio y la industria all\u00e1 en Corea. Para nosotros es muy interesante y me siento muy orgulloso de ver que Corea ha progresado demasiado, porque nosotros nos dimos cuenta cuando nosotros llegamos, que Corea era muy pobre, demasiado pobre, entonces, el pueblo fue el que pag\u00f3 las consecuencias de la pobreza que ten\u00eda, hasta hoy en d\u00eda que es la tercera, la d\u00e9cima potencia industrial del mundo. \u00bfQu\u00e9 m\u00e1s se puede pedir de ustedes?<br \/>\n&#8211; Gracias por much\u00edsimo.
