Battleground Korea - The Story of the 25th Infantry Division 1951

[Lloyd I.]

Found this great unit book printed in 1951 today. Contains many superb shots including great ones of Matthew Ridgeway. Not only does it cover many actions it features write ups of citations including one for the Medal of Honor. Contains the names of all the soldiers with RA numbers and awards. Tons of history in this.

I served in A Co 3/21 Infantry Regt 'Gimlets' and C Co 5/14 Infantry Regiment 'Golden Dragons' 25th ID(L) and also found the name of a relative in this book.

I'm sure it would get torn apart in today's circles but kind of makes you wonder what happened to it. Pretty kick ass if you ask me. Don't remember seeing it at the museum down at Fort DeRussy or Schofield.

I need to scan another you'd like. 50s airborne markings.
