Several of us young (Vietnam veterans) Marines have been searching for Korean War ANGLICO Marines to document our beginnings. Some of the ANGLICO teams were TAD to the 1st MarDiv or from there to the Korean Marine Corps, and called in close air support at places like Chosin and the Punch Bowl. Some were on islands off the coast calling in NGF. Some were on covert ops, with low-altitude jumps behind North Korean lines, to call in NGF or other ordinance on the enemy leadership, or just doing nasty things to them.
We have little time left to document this part of our history. Most of these Marines are in their late 70's and 80's. I've conversed with four by telephone in the past week, and stopped by the home of one in my state last week. I'll drive a couple of hours and meet another in a few weeks.
If you know a Marine who served with ANGLICO in Korea and who is willing and able to discuss it with an ANGLICO brother, please advise.
