Hi Ed,

 

Thank you very much! I would like to research on him but I have no clue where and how to start. Any suggestions?

Andrew,

 

Wish I could help you, but I've never researched anyone before. I know Forum members do it all the time and the USMF also has the Individual / Unit Research section. Hope I've helped.

This site is a wealth of knowledge: http://www.koreanwar.org/html/2011_2id_go_award_individual.html?key_2id=9884

 

I would next look at the war diary of the 9th infantry, to see what they were doing on the date given in his citation:
