This is the second book in an ongoing trilogy about the military career of a remarkable soldier and officer. The first book, “To the Last Man!” Kulbes’ Mongrels at the Chosin Reservoir, described D Company of the 10th Combat Engineers during the icy ordeal at the Chosin Reservoir and their against-all-odds withdrawal to Pusan. During the month of November 1950, 350,000 Chinese troops quietly joined forces with a nearly defeated North Korean People’s Army. On November 28, the two armies initiated a surprise counter-attack against combined South Korean, American, and United Nations’ forces so confident of victory that their northern advance had been labeled the “Home By Christmas Offensive.” The undetected build-up of forces in those snowy peaks and canyons was a remarkable military feat. Equally remarkable was the subsequent defense and evacuation from Hungnam to Pusan by the 7th and 5th Marines, to which Kulbes’ Mongrels had been temporarily attached. By the time the Mongrels arrived at Hamhung, inside the perimeter held by General Soule’s Third Division, they had suffered more than 50% casualties. Their daily reports had been lost in the chaos of battle, however, and for too long, they were not recognized for their role at the Chosin. Their status as a temporarily “lost” company, combined with their cocky attitude, created ongoing friction with headquarters. As a result, they were assigned to demolition of docks and ordnance and had to watch as units they had fought alongside debarked for the security of Pusan. In reality, that assignment was probably both a punishment for their cocky attitude as well as recognition of their notable efficiency as combat engineers. “War Dawgs” was General Soule’s nickname for the Mongrels.
