Brig Posted April 22, 2018 Share #10 Posted April 22, 2018 He isn't on the USMC Korean War casualty roster Quite possibly frostbite, keeping in mind what was going on December 1950 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFZFlyer Posted April 22, 2018 Share #11 Posted April 22, 2018 He isn't on the USMC Korean War casualty roster Quite possibly frostbite, keeping in mind what was going on December 1950 It has always been my understanding that the PH is not awarded for frost bite.

Brig Posted April 22, 2018 Share #12 Posted April 22, 2018 It has always been my understanding that the PH is not awarded for frost bite.It isn't...and there's no mention of a PH, OP assumed he was WIA because of a roll entry indicating he was hospitalized during the Chosin campaign. As he isn't on the casualty roster, the possibility is he was evacuated from frostbite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottplen Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share #13 Posted April 22, 2018 I assumed he was WIA from article in his hometown paper ! Im going to request his personal file ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted April 23, 2018 Share #14 Posted April 23, 2018 You may not get much on his injury if it's not WIA...medical records falling outside of FOIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
