The Photo above was taken in the fall of 1952 from the trench about 150 feet
to the west of the CASTLE. Orginally I was a member of the Second squad First Platoon
in reserve behind the castle. Sam Davis was the squad leader and Redwing was asistant
squad leader. Sam was killed there during the North Korean attack March of
1953.
The photo to the
upper right was taken at the same time and from about the same location but
looking more to the west looking down the valley and towards HeartBreak ridge.
If I remember correctly this was the jump off spot for the patrols we ran down the
ridge to the left in the upper photo. There was an OP manned about 100 feet in
front of this position every night .
