Bob:
On further thought, I think it was on the hill adjacent to the road to Panmunjon. The ASA bunker was just barely outside of the "safe passage corridor."

Bob:
I don't recall the hill identification but it was near the western flank of the 1st Marine Division if not right on the western flank. I could clearly see the balloon and spotlight at Panmunjon. I was in the Army Security Agency and attached to the 1st Marines. My outfit monitored the front line radio communications of the enemy. I pulled a 24 hour shift in the bunker then went back to a Detachment area for a couple of days before returning for another shift.  Our Detachment camp consisted of a couple of squad tents near the headquarters of a Marine outfit. I am not certain but it may have been the 1st Batallion, 7th Regiment or the 5th Bat 7th. There was an artillery battery not to far south of our Detachment. Is any of this familiar to you?

J. Charles,
I was also there in 1953, 1st Mar. Div. Do you recall which hill that was ?
