Got another out of him, unasked! https://corlearshookfencibles.blogspot.com/2023/11/my-pistol-repair-problem.html

 Another good story,  it is very hard to find first person accounts of the Korean War.

Really interesting account with information you don’t often get from other sources, thank you for posting.

Echo the 'thanks for posting comments' . In UK never heard it described as anything but 'Korean War' .

This is the most recent of many of his accounts. Perhaps I should post an index to his stories.

Some of those stories might be nicely complied into a book some day.

[Harry Faversham]

Should be, they're priceless. It's our duty to help preserve these memories.

The idea has been mentioned to him, by my sister-in-law. So far, he hasn't signed on. We'll see.

I have really enjoyed reading through those posts. Thank you for sharing them here It isn't often you get an insight into the day to day like that.

One of the most interesting .45 pistols I’ve seen was one with a beautiful mother of pearl inlay on the grip. Sits in the collection of the Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians), in the vault. I had the opportunity to photograph and inventory the vault. Some very interesting pieces in there.

I have a massive collection of Canadian Korea photos, articles, and many have never been published. Spent months scanning battle reports, correspondence, and photos.
