Sharing my grandpa's story of Battle of Chosin Reservoir, Korean War

I am very close to my grandpa who is now 95 years old. He shared his story with me and I just made a short booklet about his experiences. It's pretty incredible! It is my family's Christmas gift this year to that side of the family, and I want to share this gift of history with you all here, too.

That's absolutely fascinating to read through !!

I struggle to read through loads of text but I found it intriguing..

I think I noticed one little typo that threw me slightly but I guess that's nothing to be concerned about ..

I remember listening to radio news reports of the fighting in Korea when I was a kid. Great account! Many thanks!

Hagaru-ri was several times spelled Hagarur-i. There were other misspelled Korean names, so run the whole thing through a spellchecker.

Yeah those names were a challenge. I found them spelled different ways and just picked one and went with it. I'll check those again. Thanks!

Edited to add- I found a few more typos. I have looked at it a lot but it it helps to take a break and look again. :-)

Haven’t read through all of it yet, but this is fascinating. Very cool.

It's maybe more of a missing word or something rather than a spelling error .

I maybe wrong of course being dyslexic/ Aspergers but ...it's on page 9 .. right in the middle of the page .. something about levelling a field for a aircraft landing strip ??
It's around ..
" so the one on the fields "

I’m so glad I checked in this evening, what a special treat. Thank you Sun! :)

I never could cotton to history books, too dry and boring. But this first hand story, now THAT’S history! How interestingly enjoyable.

Please thank your Grandfather for his service for me. :salute:
