Though sometimes called "The Forgotten War," the Korean conflict remains vivid in the hearts and minds of those who fought there. Author Harold Gamble, who served as a medic with the 29th Infantry, has documented the experiences of the unit in a book that illumines the hardships and exhaustion, the terror and emotional pain felt by the soldiers who served there. Only 25 years old at the time, he was part of the occupying force of Okinawa when the call came in 1950 for troops to go to Korea, and he trained even younger medics on the troopship that took them to an uncertain future. The focus of Gamble's book is the grit and heroism of the men he served with. Even against overwhelming odds, they persisted to achieve their military objectives. The greatest crises for the unit were the devastating ambushes at Anui and Chinju Pass, and the battle for the Pusan Perimeter. Included in the book are the extended accounts of two prisoners of war who were freed after years in captivity. "Now my buddy is safe in heaven and no one can ever hurt him again," he murmured as he tenderly stoked the stock of his M-1 rifle, where he had etched his buddy's name" Tending the wounded and dying for more than two years left Gamble with a permanently heavy heat and a desire that others should know of the greatness of the 29th Infantry in Korea.
