Battle Mountain Cost Most in Korean Battle

A vivid account of Battle Mountain in Korea, describing its high cost in lives and money, and naming American heroes who defended the hill during multiple brutal assaults. Includes references to Capt. Lawrence Corcoran, Maj. Dean Hess, Lt. Col. George R. Cole, Lt. Col. John T. Corley, and Warrant Officer Lester K. Armstrong, along with South Korean bearers and unnamed African American soldiers whose deeds remain largely unrecorded. The piece notes the hill’s strategic decline as UN lines advanced beyond it. It also contains a public notice about a 1950 truck sale at Crawford Motor Company in Lookout, West Virginia.
