Col Mike's Wolfhounds Shine Frontline Valor in Korea
Col John Michaelis commands the 27th Wolfhound Regiment of the 25th Division in Korea after three major battles. The unit, once routine, proved crack on the front, earning praise for leadership and the ruthlessness and resilience of its infantry and support troops. Their actions stalled a Red drive toward Taegu, with heroes like Davis Zimmerman, Ed Hill, and Trevor Perry cited for bravery amid artillery and machine gun fire.
