Bill, I'm a little confused by your mail. You said "but I also made the trip 
from Inchon to Wonsan on one of those vessels." Are you saying you were on a 
Japanese LST, or "one of those vessels," a LST?   You also said you arrived 
"a little early," in a later E-mail you said you arrived Nov. 11th.  Were you 
an early arrival for your Division or are you under the impression that you 
were the earliest arriving troops? The 1st Marine Division, landed at Wonsan, 
October 26th and despite the Japanese not being a member of the UN and having 
a World War II peace treaty to the contrary, most of the LSTs we were on were 
Japanese. Have a nice day.  DON
