Seoul, South Korea 1950-09-25 (6 others)

Overview:

X Corps landed at Inchon on 15 September and immediately advanced toward Seoul. By the 24th, Col. Lewis “Chesty” Puller’s 1st Regiment crossed the Han River west of the city and jumped off at 0700, but without their usual armor support, as all of the heavy bridges in the area had been destroyed. Capt. Bruce Williams of Company B, 1st Tank Battalion, would have to find another way to catch up and support the attack on Hill 105. Williams took his tanks around to a ferry run by Marine engineers, who, along with a rifle platoon led by Staff Sgt Arthur Farrington, became their immediate infantry support a they deployed for action in the small hills around Seoul’s western outskirts. After a shower of grenades and automatic fire revealed the location of the North Koreans, the Marine tankers deployed.
