Pro Patria Press - The 31st Infantry Regiment Association
Colonel Joseph Gordon Clemons, Jr. was a decorated soldier in the United States Army
in the Korean War and in the Vietnam War. His actions in the 1953 Battle of Pork Chop
Hill were the subject of a 1959 movie, Pork Chop Hill. Graduated from the Military
Academy in 1951 he was quickly shipped to Korea. Clemons was awarded the
Distinguished Service Cross while serving as a platoon leader in Company K, 31st Infantry
Regiment for "heroism in action against the enemy in the vicinity of Kumhwa, Korea,
October 28, 1952", a part of the Battle of Triangle Hill. In that action, Clemons led the
attack platoon in a counterattack, leading multiple attacks with limited ammunition,
including hand-to-hand fighting. On April 17, 1953,after being assigned as the
commanding officer of Company K while still a first lieutenant, he led the counterattack on Pork Chop Hill. He
was awarded the Silver Star for his part in this action. In his Silver Star citation, Clemons's "gallantry, personal
example, and outstanding leadership" was cited as the major factor in taking and holding the position,
commenting further that "rarely in combat history has a force of the size committed on Pork Chop taken such
losses ... and nevertheless continued to hold their position". At one point during the battle, Clemons estimated
that he had lost approximately half his force. During the battle Clemons was reinforced by G Company, 17th
Infantry Regiment, commanded by his brother-in-law, Walter B. Russell Jr.

Clemons and his command served as the centerpiece of a book by S.L.A. Marshall called Pork Chop Hill which
was turned into a 1959 movie, Pork Chop Hill. In the movie, he was portrayed by Gregory Peck, and Clemons
served as a technical adviser.—Excerpt from Wikipedia being put together by James Reid and others

The Frozen Hours by Jeff Shaara
This book is an historical novel written by one of the finest and most enjoyable writers of military historical
novels. Some novels are so well researched that I have learned more from them than from several history books.
While this book concentrates on the 1st Marine Division it provides an excellent explanation on how they got
caught in the mess. The 31st and 32nd RCT’s are mentioned many times in the book and explains how they came
to be attached to the Marines. A truly great read.
In the bitter cold winter of 1950, in the middle of the Korean War, hell froze over for Gen. O.P. Smith as his 1st
Marine Division led MacArthur’s push to the Yalu River at the China-Korea border. MacArthur miscalculated.
The Chinese feared United Nations forces would cross into China and responded with a massive pre-emptive
attack near Chosin Reservoir. Shaara’s latest is a novel of character formed in war’s crucible. Smith, thought a
plodder by glory hounds, is a master strategist, saving his division—and much of the army’s 7th Division—from
being wiped out by "advancing in another direction." There are views from the front lines: in minus-35-degree
temperatures, phlegmatic Sgt. Hamilton Welch leads the defense of a barren hilltop against human wave
attacks. Welch’s confidant, Okinawa veteran Pete Riley, collapses from malnutrition and dehydration. A doctor
gives him a can of fruit cocktail, and he returns to the fighting, feeling "the guilt, the odd need to stay out here,
                       that even if they couldn’t fight, they didn’t want to leave their units." There are also
                       candid assessments of MacArthur, poorly served by yes men and intelligence officers; his
                       10th Corps commander, the arrogant and pompous Almond; and ever stoic Smith. The
                       communist modus operandi comes through Gen. Sung, a wily survivor of Mao’s legendary
                       Long March, and Maj. Orlov, Stalin’s on-site observer; conversations between them are
                       sharp and revealing. Shaara's pace never stumbles. Weather is everyone's common
                       enemy—the desolate mountain terrain is constantly scoured by implacable winds and
                       freezing temperatures—which is reflected in scenes such as a Marine sharing bottles of
                       whiskey baked into his wife’s homemade bread; a crusty battalion commander rescuing
                       stragglers lost on a frozen reservoir; or Marines treated to hot Thanksgiving dinner only
                       to find the food freezing quickly in their mess kits. – Kirkus Review

Village dedicates highway to fallen soldier
By Rachel Steffan
The Village of Anacoco officially named a portion of Highway 171 this morning in honor of a local soldier whose
remains were brought home last year after spending more than five decades missing in Korea.
Maj. Gen. Gary Brito, Commanding General, JRTC and Fort Polk gave the dedication speech and participated in
unveiling the highway sign this morning. He said in an interview with the Leesville Daily Leader that he was honored to
participate.
The arrival home of SGT James E. Martin’s remains caused the communities of Vernon and Beauregard Parish, along
with Fort Polk, to demonstrate solidarity. “It was overwhelming,” said Martin’s nephew, Ronnie Martin. The experience
of bringing his uncle home to a resting place, provided closure for the family, and now dedicating the highway to him, has
all been life-changing, Ronnie said.
Martin was born on May 23, 1931 in Anacoco to Felton Glen and Meldredge Peace Martin. He graduated from Anacoco
High School in 1949 and quickly enlisted in the United States Army. Martin was killed during the Korean War while
serving with the 31st Infantry Regiment in the Chosin Reservoir, North Korea.
66 years later, Martin has been returned home and given his long overdue respects and memorial.

PROGRESS ON THE REGIMENTAL HISTORY
GEN (Retired) Barry McCaffrey has agreed to write the foreword to “America’s Foreign Legion.” GEN McCaffrey’s father,
William McCaffrey commanded the 31st Infantry Regiment in Korea most of 1951. During that time he was awarded two
Silver Stars. At the time, Barry McCaffrey was eight years old. His father ended his career as a lieutenant general.

                               LTG Steve Townsend will write the afterword to the history. Townsend, as an LTC, was in
                               command of 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry during its first post-9/11 deployment to
                               Afghanistan. Later, he was again in the 4-31 chain of command when he became CG of
                               the 10th Mountain Division in 2012. He was scheduled to be the main speaker at the
                               centennial Shanghai Bowl Ceremony August of last year, but that weekend he was in
                               South Asia assuming command of the combined JTF for Operation Inherent Resolve and
                               getting ready to retake Mosul. Hopefully, he’ll be able to get away for next year’s
                               September reunion in Myrtle Beach.
                               UPDATE: The last week of September, The 31st Infantry Regiment: A History of
                               “America’s Foreign Legion” in Peace and War, went to McFarland and Company,
                               Publishers. The manuscript ran more than 700 typewritten pages, with over 220,000 words.
                                The production process requires nine to twelve months to design each page for an average
                                book. The Regiment’s history is complicated by its 200 photographs and maps, which will
                                make its story more clear and vivid. Production time for such a major project will
obviously tilt toward the long end of the calendar.
Meanwhile, editing is constructing the massive index for this major work of military history. The goal is to have all
appropriate words—names of people, geographical places, significant terrain features, battles, units, weaponry and
soldiers of the Regiment—the real authors of its history—completed before the galleys arrive. Those galleys will be laid
out page by page like the finished product, in searchable PDF format, ready to provide page numbers for all the indexed
terms.
           Bottom line: we’re on track to have the Regiment’s history at the September reunion at Myrtle Beach
