Are there any one who served in 1945 Korean Occupation ?
I was in 40th Div. 185th Infantry E company 1st Platoon
1st Squad. Sept we went to Inchon,then by train to Taegu,
Korea. The Japanese soldiers were still at their posts. We
relieved them and took over the posts. The second night we
were just going to bed, when the C.O. came in and told our
squad to make full field pack(with rations), get our rifles and
ammunitionn because of some trouble in town. We went to the
city hall and just standing there when from three directions
three Japanese soldiers came running up to us. They wanted
to surrender to us, they said they were afraid of the Korean
Police. We turned them over to our superior officers. WE were the
first Americans in Taegu. The Army gave us M.P. Helmets,
M.P. Arm Bands, and 45 caliber pistols and we worked with
Korea Police
