al writer of the Detroit News,
told correspondents that in
neither the Pacific nor Europ¬
ean theatres “did I find a div¬
ision that fought with more
gallantry than the second.”
Marshall Is serving as an
operations analyst in Korea and
Is compiling the detailed his¬
tories of 16 companies of the
Ninth, 23rd and 38th Infantry
regiments during their offense
and defense against six Chinese
divirions in the K’^'angdong-
Suchon sector last month.
“I did not find one company
that yielded ground until its
ammunition ran out or until it
became unusually encumbered
by its dead and wounded. No
unit left any of its wounded
behind.
Highest praise went to “B”
company of the Ninth, for
bravery in action, and to its
Negro executive officer, Firs* -
Lt. Ellison C. Wynn of Durham,
N. C., who was in command of
the unit for 2-4 hours. I
“That company’s stand was t
nerhans peihaps uneaualled unequalled m in Ameri- amer ! j
can military history, said Col. |
Marshall. “It entered action j
with 125 men and withdrew
only on regimental orders with
its tall up fighting like hell for
24 hours later with only 34 men
wounded.
The company commander,
Capt. William C. Wallace, white,
was wounded in the first hour
of battle and Lt. Wynn took
over the command.
Col. Marshall commented:
“Get the picture. The CO
from Virginia, a Negro second

in command, and two non-com
(both white), distingushing !
themselves in action.
Of Wynn, the colonel said:
“Nothing can be said of his
heroism which would not be an
underestimation. As an exam¬
ple when dawn broke after a i
night attack, Wynn lea
men to the crest of a hill and
—because they were out
ammunition—threw rocks and
C-ratlon cans at the charging
Chinese with great effect. His
action enabled 30 of his 34 men
to escape.” to
Wynn was one of the 30
