The 35th Regiment was involved in the Battle of the Ch’ongch’on River on November 30, 1950. Same time as the Chosin Reservoir.
Some of the most horrible fighting any American soldier has had to endure. -35F temperatures and vastly outnumbered by the Chinese. They were overran. Complete chaos.
God bless Jack Clark.
I wonder if he has any family left?
We are grateful for your sacrifice, and that of you family and loved ones who did without you for years after.
I found it interesting that there were many Marines who fought at Chosin who also fought at Peleliu.
Talk about going from the fire into the frying pan, figuratively speaking. Our troops have rarely fought in such disparate environments at those two places.
I would presume there must be some family since his remains were identified by DNA.
