1	"'Council held in Boston, New England July 30, 1686'. The Keeper of the Prison at Cambridge petitions 'that Robert Blood the Younger prisoner for Debt... upon the 25th of May 1686... did break prison,' the keeper 'praying that he may have a warrant... to apprehend and return the said Blood to Prison until he shall have satisfied the debt...' 'Ordered: that the Secretary do forthwith grant his warrant...' The Imprisonment apparently was the outcome of a suit which appeared in Suffolk Court in April 1685, the case of Samuel Knight of Woburn vs. Robert Blood, Jr., Knight presenting a bill of goods dated December 21, 1684 and consisting of 'trucking cloth, powder, shot, powder horns, tobacco, flint, spring knives, rings, tin shoes,' amounting to L6-09-11. These were obviously for trading purposes, primarily, it would seem, with inland settlers. His brothers Simon, age 23, and Josiah, age 21, testified that Robert had told Knight he was 'willing to reckon with him.' Robert was credited with 'bear skins, rackoon skins, deer skins, bever skins, 'etc and his (tin?) and horse, together with goods returned. Unfortunately the goods did not cover the bill and he was forced to languish in jail. A deposition made in 1694 shows he had been released by 1688, but details are not known. Some years later he removed to South Carolina and in June of 1701 a guardian was appointed for his son (Ebenezer) (though this does not mean he died in this year). Whether monetary troubles were the cause of his removal or not is not know. Possibly he went (to South Carolina) with Samuel Page of Groton who removed to that state, but returned in 1718. (Robert was listed as deceased in Middlesex deed 21:429 dated 1720.) (The Story of the Bloods)	BLOOD, Robert (I139)
2	"A young and beautiful maiden with a dowery consisting of 1000 acres, she was the daughter of the most illustrious man in Concord, Major Simon Willard, soldier and engineer... Elizabeth's brother was the Rev. Samuel Willard who became the Vice President of Harvard Collage. To marry this girl was to marry well indeed!" (The Story of the Bloods, by Harris) Harris states that a piece of the wedding dress worn by Elizabeth on the day of her marriage has been carefully preserved in the historical room over the library in the town of Carlisle. Elizabeths dowery consisting of a thousand acres of land be it more or less... the most of it in Concord Village (now Acton)." Robert was not to dispose of this land, "but it shall be for their children and heirs of my (Simon Willard's) daughter. This later became known as Virginia Farm and was not strickly a part of Bloods Farm."	WILLARD, Elizabeth (I146)

Although Chelmsford was his home he appeared for a time at Mason in 178 he was again out of Chelmsford in 1794, this time in Westford and when he tried to come back to his home he was warned out. of Pepperell at death." (Story of the Bloods) Warining out is the expelling (on paper only, or actually) of indigent residents or newcomers in Colonial and post-Revolutionary American settlements.

16	"of Groton; Yeoman and Cordwainer. Ebenezer was of Concord as late as 1718 but probably moved to Groton on the occasion of his marriage.

23	"Stephen A. Simon, Salem's oldest confectioner, died at his home, 140 Essex Street, this morning (October 5, 1908), quite suddenly. He had been feeble for some time, but was about all day yesterday. He was taken ill early this morning, and a physician was summoned, but Mr. Simon passed away soon after the arrival of the doctor. Mr. Simon was born in Salem, Oct. 20, 1821, and he recieved his education in the Salem public schools. He next learned the confectioner's trade of his father, the late John Saimon (sic), who came to Salem in 1804, and who (established the family confectionary in 1807 on North Street until 1816 and then) began business in the house 160 Essex Street in 1816. On the death of the father, the son continued the business until the present time. The store always enjoyed an enviable reputation; the lads and lassies of the last 75 years always believing that there was never any confectionary quite so nice as that made by Mr. Simon. Mr. Simon was twice married and he leaves a widow, a son and daughter. For nearly 87 years Mr. Simon had lived and conducted business within a few rods of where he was born." (per obituary in Salem Evening News, October 5, 1908.) The building at 160 Essex Street was located where Moustakis Bros. was located in 1925, and also where Tassinari's previously stood. The building is pictured in a drawing with the storefront labelled "J Simon"; it's pictured to the left of the L.H.Rogers building which still stands as the office center for the Peabody Essex Museum. Stephen A. Simon tried to purchase the building in 1864, since that is where the family business had been located for nearly 50 years. He apparently was unsuccesful and in 1867 purchased the property at 140 Essex Street from the heirs of Col. Francis Peabody. This building was located where New Liberty Street now lays - and must be the building to the right of the L.H.Rogers building in the drawing mentioned above. This old house was built as near as could be ascertained (according to the Salem Evening News, May 28, 1925) from old records sometime about 1710, probably by William Ropes. William's son Joseph, was a cordwainer and storekeeper as was his grandson, Daniel. John Ropes, the son of Daniel, kept store at the property for many years, possibly dealing in West India goods. His son, James, was also a shopkeeper, and at his death the property passed to his daughter, Mrs. Priscilla Ropes Archer. She lived there until her death sometime after 1837. Her son, James Archer kept a bakery shop there until 1840, when another baker named Pepper took over the property. He built the old oven which still existed in 1925. (see his picture in the Appendix) He retired at about the age of 50 (per S.H.Simon, via R.Simons)	SIMON, Stephen Augustas (I024)

39	Summary Charlie was born in Maine 21 years after his oldest sibling. His father died a year later and the family moved to Cambridge, MA. His mother died when he was 9 years old. He became a soldier in the U.S. Army and fought during both World War II and the Korean War. Enlistment and War Charlie enlisted in the Army on May 27, 1940. He was originally a member of the Yankee Division, 26th Infantry Division, a major formation of the Massachusetts Army National Guard. He was likely a member of the 182nd Infantry Regiment, which along with the recently added 164th Infantry Regiment was transferred out of Yankee Division and assigned to Task Force 6814, on 14 January 1942. This task force was sent to Melbourne, Australia for nearly five months of combat training. Immediately following Pearl Harbor, on December 7, 1941, the United States hurriedly sent three individual regiments to defend New Caledonia against a feared Japanese attack. On May 24, 1942, this task force became one of only two un-numbered divisions to serve in the Army during World War II. Known as the Americal Division, derived from a combination of "America" and "New Caledonia", it was comprised of the 182nd, 164th, and the 132nd Infantry Regiments. Early in World War II Charlie fought at Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. Later in the war he volunteered for a "Dangerous and Hazardous Mission" and trained for long-range penetration behind enemy lines in Japanese-held Burma as part of the special operations light infantry unit known as "Merrill's Marauders". In Burma Charlie served in Company B of the 1st Battalion 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional). He was awarded the Purple Heart for wounds he received on May 24, 1944, most likely at Myitkyina, North Burma. After the Burma mission, the 5307th was consolidated into the 475th Infantry Regiment (the modern-day 75th Ranger Regiment). Charlie may have returned to his previous unit in the Americal Division, as he was photographed at Kobe base in 1946. He re-enlisted in 1946 at Fort Devens, one year after WWII ended. He was honorably discharged on Decemeber 31, 1948. Charlie re-enlisted again on February 17, 1949. He was stationed at Fort Benning with Company E of 15th Infantry Regiment. He married Shirley Schaub from New Orleans on July 31, 1950 - just prior to shipping out for Korea. In Korea he was a Master Sargeant in Company B of the 31st Infantry Regiment of the 7th Infantry Division. He was killed December 1, 1950 during the deadliest days of the war in a battle east of the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea. His body was not returned to the United States until 1955, five (5) years after his death. Service timeline: The date and division of his original enlistment is not known. (1942-43) Guadalcanal 1943, Sept.: India training for Burma campaign (based on his 5307th service) 1944: India/Burma (listed as an original member of the 5307th) 1944, May: wounded, presumably at Charparte, north Burma. 1944, Aug.: (5307th became the 475th) 1945-46: Kobe, Japan; photographed in 1946 receiving his Purple Heart at Kobe army base in Japan for his wounds in Burma. 1946: Re-enlisted Fort Banks, Winthrop, MA. Assigned to Hawaiian Department. 1948: honorably discharged 1949: Re-enlisted; stationed at Fort Benning, Georgia training other soldiers. When war in Korea broke he was told he would not have to go because he had been in combat... but he chose to go. 1950: married a Shirley Schaub from New Orleans, Louisiana prior to shipping out to Korea. 1950: North Korea (First Inchon landings were Sept 15; his regiment landed at Inchon Sept 19 and took responsibility for the zone south of Seoul highway where they engaged in heavy fighting with North Korean soldiers. After Seoul was retaken, they headed for the Yalu River, he was KIA December 1 at Chosin Reservoir.) World War II: He fought at Guadalcanal; this would have been in either 1942 or 1943. Later with US Army 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional), 1st Battalion, Company B, White Combat Team in Burma with Merrill's Marauders. He Received multiple Purple Heart in World War II (per LHO) Merrill's Marauders were the 5307th Composite Unit (provisional) led by Brigadier General Frank Merrill. They were a US long range penetration special forces unit (US Army Rangers) which fought in the Burma Campaign of World War II. They were active from 1943-1944, being disbanded on August 10, 1944. Code named "Galahad", this unit was comprised of volunteers for a "Dangerous and Hazardous Mission". "Of the 2,750 to enter Burma, only 2 were left alive who had never been hospitalized with wounds or major illness" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrill%27s_Marauders ). In slightly more than five months of combat, the Marauders had advanced 750 miles through some of the harshest jungle terrain in the world, fought in 5 major engagements (Walawbum, Shaduzup, Inkangahtawng, Nhpum Ga, and Myitkyina) and engaged in combat with the Japanese Army on thirty-two separate occasions. Battling Japanese soldiers, hunger, fevers, and disease, they had traversed more jungle terrain on their long-range missions than any other U.S. Army formation during World War II. The men of the Merrill's Marauders enjoyed the rare distinction of having each soldier awarded the Bronze Star. In June 1944, the 5307th Composite Unit (provisional) was awarded the Distinguished Unit Citation: "The unit must display such gallantry, determination, and esprit de corps in accomplishing its mission under extremely difficult and hazardous conditions as to set it apart and above other units participating in the same campaign. " In January 1944 the 5307th was formed by Special Order #3 by transferring the original volunteers from 3 separate travel and training Casual Detachments 1688A, 1688B, & 1688C. Charlie was transferred from 1688A. (http://www.marauder.org/SO3.htm ) On 10 August 1944, the Marauders were consolidated to the 475th Infantry. A decade, later, on 21 June 1954, the 475th Infantry was re-designated as the 75th Infantry, thus, Merrill's Marauders is the parent, 75th Infantry Regiment, from which descends the contemporary 75th Ranger Regiment.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrill%27s_Marauders ). Link to study entitled "Merrill's Marauders: Combined Operations in Northern Burma in 1944", by the Command and General Staff College: http://www.cgsc.edu/carl/resources/csi/Bjorge/BJORGE.asp Lineage: In September 1943 volunteers travelled to India on a transport with a battalion from the United States which was to become the 1st BN, a battalion from the Caribbean area which was to become the 2d BN, and a battalion comprised of men serving in the South & Southwest Pacific areas which was to become the 3d BN. On 10 Oct 43 they organized at Deogarh, India as the 5307th Composite Regiment, Provisional, and were activated 1 Jan 44 under U.S. Army Forces in China-Burma-India; 2 Jan 44 redesignated as the 5307th Composite Unit, Provisional, also known as GALAHAD Force and Merrill's Marauders; organized into three long-range penetration battalions and entered Hukawing Valley Burma on 12 Feb 44; assigned to the Northern Combat Area Command on 8 May 44 and operated behind Japanese front lines, capturing Myitkyina Airfield along the Irrawaddy river 17 May 44; 3d Bn defeated at Charpate 24 May 44 and 2nd Bn driven from Namkwi 26 May 44; battled at Myitkyina until captured city 3 Aug 44 where disbanded on 10 Aug 44 and assets transferred to 475th Infantry Regiment (the modern-day 75th Ranger Regiment).

Caifson Johnson Marriage: Charlie married Shirley Schaub from New Orleans, Louisiana on July 31, 1950. They were married in Phenix City, Russell County, Alabama which is just over the state line from Fort Benning, Georgia. Shirley was employed as a social worker, but had served with the Red Cross during World War II, presumably in France as she is listed on the passenger list of the MS John Ericcson, a military transport ship leaving France in September, 1945 - the end of the war in Europe. Korean War ('Conflict'): US Army Reserve Infantry (branch) unit 31, INF RGT, 7th INF DIV Killed during the Battle at the Chosin Reservoir (11/27/1950-12/6/1950) Service Number: RA 20105959 In January 1946, General MacArthur restored his former guard of honor to active service at Seoul, Korea, assigning the 31st to the 7th Infantry Division. For the next 2 years the 31st Infantry performed occupation duty in central Korea, facing the Soviet Army across the 38th Parallel. In 1948, the occupation of Korea ended and the regiment moved to the Japanese island of Hokkaido, occupying the land of its former tormentor. When North Korean troops invaded South Korea in the summer of 1950, the 31st Infantry was stripped to cadre strength to reinforce other units being sent to Korea. In September, the division was restored to full strength with replacements from the U.S. and Koreans hastily drafted by their government and shipped to Japan for a few weeks training before returning to their homeland as members of American units. The 31st Infantry returned to Korea as part of MacArthur's United Nations "X Corps" tasked with invading Inchon, taking Seoul and then North Korea.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/31st_Infantry_Regiment_(United_States) ) The first landings at Inchon occurred September 15; the 31st landed on September 19 and took responsibility of the zone south of Seoul highway. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:31st_Infantry_Inchon.jpg They engaged in heavy fighting with North Korean soldiers as X Corps took back Seoul. Afterwards X Corps proceeded into North Korea towards the Yalu River at it's border with Chineese Manchuria. After serveral warnings by China threatening involvement in North Korea, American and U.N. commanders believed China would not risk war, and that any Chinese soldiers in North Korea were in small numbers. After the successful campaigns at Inchon and Seoul the war seemed to be almost over. Soldiers were told they'd be home for Christmas. They were surprised at the Chosin Reservoir in late November as the 30,000 U.N. troops were surrounded by 60,000 Chinese. A brutal battle lasting 17 days ensued in freezing weather over extremely rough terain. U.N. forces retreated out of North Korea which was recaptured by China and the North Koreans. U.N. forces lost nearly 6,000 men in this battle and another 7,000 non-battle casualties many due to the cold weather; while the Chinese lost 19,000 in battle and another 29,000 non-battle casulties. The war dragged on for another two and half years. "During the battle, UN casualties were buried in temporary grave sites along the road. Operation Glory took place between July to November 1954, during which the dead of each side were exchanged." The remains of nearly 4,000 US Soldiers and Marines were returned, with all but about 400 identified by name. Charlie's body was returned to the United States and he was buried in 1955.

Notes

Linked to

"'Council held in Boston, New England July 30, 1686'. The Keeper of the Prison at Cambridge petitions 'that Robert Blood the Younger prisoner for Debt... upon the 25th of May 1686... did break prison,' the keeper 'praying that he may have a warrant... to apprehend and return the said Blood to Prison until he shall have satisfied the debt...' 'Ordered: that the Secretary do forthwith grant his warrant...'
The Imprisonment apparently was the outcome of a suit which appeared in Suffolk Court in April 1685, the case of Samuel Knight of Woburn vs. Robert Blood, Jr., Knight presenting a bill of goods dated December 21, 1684 and consisting of 'trucking cloth, powder, shot, powder horns, tobacco, flint, spring knives, rings, tin shoes,' amounting to L6-09-11. These were obviously for trading purposes, primarily, it would seem, with inland settlers. His brothers Simon, age 23, and Josiah, age 21, testified that Robert had told Knight he was 'willing to reckon with him.' Robert was credited with 'bear skins, rackoon skins, deer skins, bever skins, 'etc and his (tin?) and horse, together with goods returned. Unfortunately the goods did not cover the bill and he was forced to languish in jail. A deposition made in 1694 shows he had been released by 1688, but details are not known. Some years later he removed to South Carolina and in June of 1701 a guardian was appointed for his son (Ebenezer) (though this does not mean he died in this year). Whether monetary troubles were the cause of his removal or not is not know.
Possibly he went (to South Carolina) with Samuel Page of Groton who removed to that state, but returned in 1718.
(Robert was listed as deceased in Middlesex deed 21:429 dated 1720.)

BLOOD, Robert (I139)

"A young and beautiful maiden with a dowery consisting of 1000 acres, she was the daughter of the most illustrious man in Concord, Major Simon Willard, soldier and engineer... Elizabeth's brother was the Rev. Samuel Willard who became the Vice President of Harvard Collage. To marry this girl was to marry well indeed!" (The Story of the Bloods, by Harris) Harris states that a piece of the wedding dress worn by Elizabeth on the day of her marriage has been carefully preserved in the historical room over the library in the town of Carlisle.

Elizabeths dowery consisting of a thousand acres of land be it more or less... the most of it in Concord Village (now Acton)." Robert was not to dispose of this land, "but it shall be for their children and heirs of my (Simon Willard's) daughter. This later became known as Virginia Farm and was not strickly a part of Bloods Farm."

"Stephen A. Simon, Salem's oldest confectioner, died at his home, 140 Essex Street, this morning (October 5, 1908), quite suddenly. He had been feeble for some time, but was about all day yesterday. He was taken ill early this morning, and a physician was summoned, but Mr. Simon passed away soon after the arrival of the doctor. Mr. Simon was born in Salem, Oct. 20, 1821, and he recieved his education in the Salem public schools. He next learned the confectioner's trade of his father, the late John Saimon (sic), who came to Salem in 1804, and who (established the family confectionary in 1807 on North Street until 1816 and then) began business in the house 160 Essex Street in 1816. On the death of the father, the son continued the business until the present time. The store always enjoyed an enviable reputation; the lads and lassies of the last 75 years always believing that there was never any confectionary quite so nice as that made by Mr. Simon. Mr. Simon was twice married and he leaves a widow, a son and daughter. For nearly 87 years Mr. Simon had lived and conducted business within a few rods of where he was born." (per obituary in Salem Evening News, October 5, 1908.)

The building at 160 Essex Street was located where Moustakis Bros. was located in 1925, and also where Tassinari's previously stood. The building is pictured in a drawing with the storefront labelled "J Simon"; it's pictured to the left of the L.H.Rogers building which still stands as the office center for the Peabody Essex Museum. Stephen A. Simon tried to purchase the building in 1864, since that is where the family business had been located for nearly 50 years. He apparently was unsuccesful and in 1867 purchased the property at 140 Essex Street from the heirs of Col. Francis Peabody. This building was located where New Liberty Street now lays - and must be the building to the right of the L.H.Rogers building in the drawing mentioned above. This old house was built as near as could be ascertained (according to the Salem Evening News, May 28, 1925) from old records sometime about 1710, probably by William Ropes. William's son Joseph, was a cordwainer and storekeeper as was his grandson, Daniel. John Ropes, the son of Daniel, kept store at the property for many years, possibly dealing in West India goods. His son, James, was also a shopkeeper, and at his death the property passed to his daughter, Mrs. Priscilla Ropes Archer. She lived there until her death sometime after 1837. Her son, James Archer kept a bakery shop there until 1840, when another baker named Pepper took over the property. He built the old oven which still existed in 1925.

He retired at about the age of 50 (per S.H.Simon, via R.Simons)

Summary

Charlie was born in Maine 21 years after his oldest sibling. His father died a year later and the family moved to Cambridge, MA. His mother died when he was 9 years old. He became a soldier in the U.S. Army and fought during both World War II and the Korean War.

Enlistment and War

Charlie enlisted in the Army on May 27, 1940. He was originally a member of the Yankee Division, 26th Infantry Division, a major formation of the Massachusetts Army National Guard. He was likely a member of the 182nd Infantry Regiment, which along with the recently added 164th Infantry Regiment was transferred out of Yankee Division and assigned to Task Force 6814, on 14 January 1942. This task force was sent to Melbourne, Australia for nearly five months of combat training. Immediately following Pearl Harbor, on December 7, 1941, the United States hurriedly sent three individual regiments to defend New Caledonia against a feared Japanese attack. On May 24, 1942, this task force became one of only two un-numbered divisions to serve in the Army during World War II. Known as the Americal Division, derived from a combination of "America" and "New Caledonia", it was comprised of the 182nd, 164th, and the 132nd Infantry Regiments.

Early in World War II Charlie fought at Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands.

Later in the war he volunteered for a "Dangerous and Hazardous Mission" and trained for long-range penetration behind enemy lines in Japanese-held Burma as part of the special operations light infantry unit known as "Merrill's Marauders". In Burma Charlie served in Company B of the 1st Battalion 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional). He was awarded the Purple Heart for wounds he received on May 24, 1944, most likely at Myitkyina, North Burma. After the Burma mission, the 5307th was consolidated into the 475th Infantry Regiment (the modern-day 75th Ranger Regiment).

Charlie may have returned to his previous unit in the Americal Division, as he was photographed at Kobe base in 1946. He re-enlisted in 1946 at Fort Devens, one year after WWII ended. He was honorably discharged on Decemeber 31, 1948.

Charlie re-enlisted again on February 17, 1949. He was stationed at Fort Benning with Company E of 15th Infantry Regiment. He married Shirley Schaub from New Orleans on July 31, 1950 - just prior to shipping out for Korea. In Korea he was a Master Sargeant in Company B of the 31st Infantry Regiment of the 7th Infantry Division. He was killed December 1, 1950 during the deadliest days of the war in a battle east of the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea. His body was not returned to the United States until 1955, five (5) years after his death.

Service timeline:
The date and division of his original enlistment is not known.
(1942-43) Guadalcanal
1943, Sept.: India training for Burma campaign (based on his 5307th service)
1944: India/Burma (listed as an original member of the 5307th)
1944, May: wounded, presumably at Charparte, north Burma.
1944, Aug.: (5307th became the 475th)
1945-46: Kobe, Japan; photographed in 1946 receiving his Purple Heart at Kobe army base in Japan for his wounds in Burma.
1946: Re-enlisted Fort Banks, Winthrop, MA. Assigned to Hawaiian Department.
1948: honorably discharged
1949: Re-enlisted; stationed at Fort Benning, Georgia training other soldiers. When war in Korea broke he was told he would not have to go because he had been in combat... but he chose to go.
1950: married a Shirley Schaub from New Orleans, Louisiana prior to shipping out to Korea.
1950: North Korea (First Inchon landings were Sept 15; his regiment landed at Inchon Sept 19 and took responsibility for the zone south of Seoul highway where they engaged in heavy fighting with North Korean soldiers. After Seoul was retaken, they headed for the Yalu River, he was KIA December 1 at Chosin Reservoir.)

World War II:

He fought at Guadalcanal; this would have been in either 1942 or 1943.
Later with US Army 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional), 1st Battalion, Company B, White Combat Team in Burma with Merrill's Marauders. He Received multiple Purple Heart in World War II (per LHO)
Merrill's Marauders were the 5307th Composite Unit (provisional) led by Brigadier General Frank Merrill. They were a US long range penetration special forces unit (US Army Rangers) which fought in the Burma Campaign of World War II. They were active from 1943-1944, being disbanded on August 10, 1944. Code named "Galahad", this unit was comprised of volunteers for a "Dangerous and Hazardous Mission". "Of the 2,750 to enter Burma, only 2 were left alive who had never been hospitalized with wounds or major illness" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrill%27s_Marauders ). In slightly more than five months of combat, the Marauders had advanced 750 miles through some of the harshest jungle terrain in the world, fought in 5 major engagements (Walawbum, Shaduzup, Inkangahtawng, Nhpum Ga, and Myitkyina) and engaged in combat with the Japanese Army on thirty-two separate occasions. Battling Japanese soldiers, hunger, fevers, and disease, they had traversed more jungle terrain on their long-range missions than any other U.S. Army formation during World War II. The men of the Merrill's Marauders enjoyed the rare distinction of having each soldier awarded the Bronze Star. In June 1944, the 5307th Composite Unit (provisional) was awarded the Distinguished Unit Citation:
"The unit must display such gallantry, determination, and esprit de corps in accomplishing its mission under extremely difficult and hazardous conditions as to set it apart and above other units participating in the same campaign. "

In January 1944 the 5307th was formed by Special Order #3 by transferring the original volunteers from 3 separate travel and training Casual Detachments 1688A, 1688B, & 1688C. Charlie was transferred from 1688A. (http://www.marauder.org/SO3.htm )
On 10 August 1944, the Marauders were consolidated to the 475th Infantry. A decade, later, on 21 June 1954, the 475th Infantry was re-designated as the 75th Infantry, thus, Merrill's Marauders is the parent, 75th Infantry Regiment, from which descends the contemporary 75th Ranger Regiment.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrill%27s_Marauders ).

Lineage: In September 1943 volunteers travelled to India on a transport with a battalion from the United States which was to become the 1st BN, a battalion from the Caribbean area which was to become the 2d BN, and a battalion comprised of men serving in the South & Southwest Pacific areas which was to become the 3d BN. On 10 Oct 43 they organized at Deogarh, India as the 5307th Composite Regiment, Provisional, and were activated 1 Jan 44 under U.S. Army Forces in China-Burma-India; 2 Jan 44 redesignated as the 5307th Composite Unit, Provisional, also known as GALAHAD Force and Merrill's Marauders; organized into three long-range penetration battalions and entered Hukawing Valley Burma on 12 Feb 44; assigned to the Northern Combat Area Command on 8 May 44 and operated behind Japanese front lines, capturing Myitkyina Airfield along the Irrawaddy river 17 May 44; 3d Bn defeated at Charpate 24 May 44 and 2nd Bn driven from Namkwi 26 May 44; battled at Myitkyina until captured city 3 Aug 44 where disbanded on 10 Aug 44 and assets transferred to 475th Infantry Regiment (the modern-day 75th Ranger Regiment).

Marriage:

Charlie married Shirley Schaub from New Orleans, Louisiana on July 31, 1950. They were married in Phenix City, Russell County, Alabama which is just over the state line from Fort Benning, Georgia. Shirley was employed as a social worker, but had served with the Red Cross during World War II, presumably in France as she is listed on the passenger list of the MS John Ericcson, a military transport ship leaving France in September, 1945 - the end of the war in Europe.

Korean War ('Conflict'):

US Army Reserve Infantry (branch) unit 31, INF RGT, 7th INF DIV
Killed during the Battle at the Chosin Reservoir (11/27/1950-12/6/1950)
Service Number: RA 20105959
In January 1946, General MacArthur restored his former guard of honor to active service at Seoul, Korea, assigning the 31st to the 7th Infantry Division. For the next 2 years the 31st Infantry performed occupation duty in central Korea, facing the Soviet Army across the 38th Parallel. In 1948, the occupation of Korea ended and the regiment moved to the Japanese island of Hokkaido, occupying the land of its former tormentor. When North Korean troops invaded South Korea in the summer of 1950, the 31st Infantry was stripped to cadre strength to reinforce other units being sent to Korea. In September, the division was restored to full strength with replacements from the U.S. and Koreans hastily drafted by their government and shipped to Japan for a few weeks training before returning to their homeland as members of American units. The 31st Infantry returned to Korea as part of MacArthur's United Nations "X Corps" tasked with invading Inchon, taking Seoul and then North Korea.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/31st_Infantry_Regiment_(United_States) )
The first landings at Inchon occurred September 15; the 31st landed on September 19 and took responsibility of the zone south of Seoul highway. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:31st_Infantry_Inchon.jpg They engaged in heavy fighting with North Korean soldiers as X Corps took back Seoul. Afterwards X Corps proceeded into North Korea towards the Yalu River at it's border with Chineese Manchuria. After serveral warnings by China threatening involvement in North Korea, American and U.N. commanders believed China would not risk war, and that any Chinese soldiers in North Korea were in small numbers. After the successful campaigns at Inchon and Seoul the war seemed to be almost over. Soldiers were told they'd be home for Christmas. They were surprised at the Chosin Reservoir in late November as the 30,000 U.N. troops were surrounded by 60,000 Chinese. A brutal battle lasting 17 days ensued in freezing weather over extremely rough terain. U.N. forces retreated out of North Korea which was recaptured by China and the North Koreans. U.N. forces lost nearly 6,000 men in this battle and another 7,000 non-battle casualties many due to the cold weather; while the Chinese lost 19,000 in battle and another 29,000 non-battle casulties. The war dragged on for another two and half years.

"During the battle, UN casualties were buried in temporary grave sites along the road. Operation Glory took place between July to November 1954, during which the dead of each side were exchanged." The remains of nearly 4,000 US Soldiers and Marines were returned, with all but about 400 identified by name. Charlie's body was returned to the United States and he was buried in 1955.
