Corporal IHDE, wounded 7 Oct 1952

Comments: Looking for a Marine, serving in Korea, latter part of 1952, named Corporal Idhe (don't remember his first name) We were in "C" Company, 1st Engineer Bn. and went on night patrol together early October 1952 with "I" Co. 7th Marines. Got ambushed by CCF probably on "Frisco" (but not absolutely sure) about midnight. Many casualties including Cpl. Ihde. He was evacuated, and I never saw him again. I believe he lived in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area, but not absolutely sure. If anyone sees this and lives around Milwaukee maybe you can check out my request. I'm ready to turn age 79 so Cpl. Ihde, if he is still around would be about that age too. Luckily it's sort of an odd last name, so that might make him easier to find. Really SORRY about not remembering his first name. I don't know how badly he was wounded, but it must have been pretty serious, since he never returned to our unit.

Missing Father

Comments: I'm looking for a man who was a Military Police in the Marine Corp and was stationed at Okinawa, Japan during 1945. He was then sent to Korea. We have a picture of him but don't really have a name. We think his last name is "Jenks" and we know he was from Hawaii. He was involved with a Japanese women during this time and got her pregnant so the daughter is looking to find this man or any relatives he may have. We think he is around 90 years old so he may be deceased.
