The War in their Lives

Each family had a live-in house maid to take care of cooking, cleaning, and other daily chores. After he graduated from medical school, he was hired in a hospital in Chongqing city, in Sichuan province, in the southwest part of China. Just as the Korean War began, Dad graduated as a 2nd lieutenant, and without attending the infantry school, was sent directly to Korea and assigned to the 7th Calvary Division, Company K, as a Combat Platoon Commander. Besides the horrendous injuries resulting from gunfire and explosions, another severe problem these soldiers faced during the war was frostbite.
