Helping a Korea Vet probono, trying to corroborate his story from Army's 622 MP unit 1954.

[Stetson Vet Clinic]

I am a law student providing probono representation to a Korea War Veteran for his PTSD claim. I’m on here today because we need your help to finish the job. Our client’s orders do not show that he was stationed where he says he was. If you know someone who was in the Army’s 622 MP Company in/around February 1954, or who was familiar with assignments to protect/defend water towers in Korea, please contact me. You would be making a world of difference for a fellow Vet.

Try to get his military service records from The St Louis NRPC Archives  to include his DD 214....But back that far I'm not sure if it was called DD 214 Back then?

 Request ''All'' his US Army records & to include his 201 files.or any records they may have on him.

He will need to send them a FOIA release.

IF they come back and say his records were destroyed in the 1973 fire...he will have to use the ''presumptive'' and give his details of what his duty was name of his unit his service Number or SS # & names of commanding officers NCO'S and buddy statements to account to what.when and where he served.

Hey there! Thanks for the reply Buck.

The first thing we did was request his entire military and medical record. No word yet whether they were lost in the fire, but they have our request and will get to it eventually. In the meantime we're trying to strengthen his case and the best thing we can think of is to get him a buddy statement or find a unit history that places him where he claims he was.

Thanks for your advice. If you think of anything further, don't hesitate to post again.
