Description

Fallen Comrade: A Story of the Korean War tells the story of three young men from Clinton, Mississippi, who served in the US Marine Corps during the Korean War.

Waller King, Joe Albritton, and Homer Ainsworth were childhood friends who grew up in the same neighborhood, went to the same schools, attended the same church, and eventually joined the same Marine Corps reserve unit in Jackson.

Through extensive interviews with people who knew them, as well as excerpts from their letters and journals, this volume traces the life experiences of King, Albritton, and Ainsworth through their adolescence and into the war. Despite their shared origins, the three young men met different fates.

Ainsworth was in Korea just two months before he was killed.

Albritton and King returned home after the war, but Albritton died tragically in an automobile accident mere weeks later.

King went on to college and experienced success in business, the joys of a family, and the rewards of community service, all of which were denied his childhood friends by their early deaths.

Part biography and part military history, Fallen Comrade examines what happened to three young men from Clinton, their childhood in small-town Mississippi, their service as Marines in Korea, and their legacy to their hometown.
