300th Armored Artillery Bn. members

I thought this might be of a slight interest.

I see in a recent issue Bob James passed away.

August of 1950 the Wyo. National Guard 300th Armored Artillery Bn. Was federalized and sent to Korea. The Bn. consisted of headquarters, Sheridan Firing Batteries: A-Thermopolis, B-Cody, C-Worland, Service Batt. Lovell.

Batter A-Thermopolis consisted of 70 volunteers local A Battery. After 2 years on the line, 70 came home, with numerous medals, Purple Hearts and citations.

There were 2 members alive at Bob James death. Bob James and myself, John Dodge, who is the lone survivor and maybe one other, Earl Hammond who resides in California.

Sure short memories often, 80 years, oh!

Not a war, police action.

John Dodge
