4.2 MORTAR CO/1/1

My brother was killed in Korea; not sure where, with Marines on 
April 15, 1952. His name Robert Leroy Corbett. Sgt. How do I access 
casulty list or find out where he was killed? I'm in process of writing 
family history.

Thanks for responding to my letter. I was beginning to think that the
net was no good.. Now I know that is not true! One of the Marines in
my brother's unit name: Durwood H. Gilbert from
Maine. 

I sure would like to talk to him. I have some great pictures from
Korea, one, summer, one in the winter. The name of their unit is not at
hand.

I have some letters but no envelopes. Will there be a reunion in
Oregon? I would like to attend and talk to some veterans. The Marine
that was with my brother when he was killed, visited our family,
shortly after the (conflict) and I have lost track of that person, even
his name.

I believe I blocked it out. Where can I find your book? 

 Bye for now and thanks again.

Thanks for your assistance and your especially prompt reply. 
Apparentlythe spelling you came up with for Joe Leszczynski was correct. 
I had obtained the spelling I used from one of Joe's old high school
publications. They left out one of the z's.

John O'Brien was a close friend who served with me in the States and 
went to Korea on the same ship in November 1952.  We were assigned to 
separate units, and I heard months later that he had died on an outpost
called "Vegas" in March 1953.

Before you sent me the details yesterday, I was never able to confirm
this.

You also asked if there was anyone else.

There was an individual in my unit who was killed by a mortar round on
about February 16, 1953. I helped carry his body to the rear and I have
often thought of him over the years. I no longer remember his name, and
I suppose there is no data base that lists casualties by units or 
dates.

We were with the 4.2 mortar company, I'st Marine Regiment, and he was 
the only KIA in our company during that month. Any advice on finding his
name or any info on him?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
