William ( Red ) Carter was a very close friend of mine, first in Japan and later in Korea.I was a young Cpl. and "Red " was assigned to my section. I have bad memories to this day about the day Red died. I Always wanted to talk to his family about his death, but after I was wounded and left the service I tried to forget that period of my life. Recently I was contacted by members of our old outfit and I started remembering again.I have several pictures of "Red"and others if members of his family will contact me.
