Battalion Survivor Tells Of Reds
Burninq Wounded GIs Alive
Florida 81 Recovering
From Bullet Wounds
And Frostbite Effects

Three bullet wounds, frost-bitten
hands and feet and the memory OF
a narrowing 15-mile march along
a road raked by Chinese Red fire
are mementoes brought back from
the Korean war by Pfc. Rufus
McAdams. 10, of Winter Garden,
Fla.
Pvt. McAdams, who is a patient
at Walter Reed Hospital and hopes
ito get home the first Of Febru-
ary," was a member Of the 31st
Infantry Regiment, 7th Division,
when he was wounded last Novem-
ber 81.
He was one Of 200 men who tried
to bring a convoy of trucks carry
ing wounded soldiers out Of Chi
nese encirclement. After four days
of battling the Red hordes, Pvt.
McAdams said. only 143 men. in
cluding the wounded from his
battalion. made 1t to safety.
"We didn't know any Chinks
were even near u.s." he said, when
they overran our outposts about
8 am. on November q. They
killed four men on the machine
gun nest and forced us to retreat"
Supplied by Planes.
For four days, supplied by Air
Force CATS, the outfit fought the
Reds who held the hills surround
ing the Chonju Reservoir. The
Air Force blasted them by day, and
the soldiers fought them at night,
the young soldier recounted.
"On the 31st," Pvt. McAdams
said. 1--WE put all our wounded in
about 20 trucks. Those Of us who
could walk marched alongside,
continuously exchanging fire with
the Reds on the hills above us and
the ones who kept about 200 yards
behind U.s."
The convoy began to move at l
pm, and about an hour and a
half later Pvt. McAdams was shot
for the first time in the right leg.
II guess I just wanted to live
real bad, because I got up and kept
walking and firing" he said.
Some Of the boys would just lay
down, they'd be so disguised and
tired by the time they were hit"
1.-THE Chinese poured gasoline
on at least two of the trucks full Of
wounded and burnt them when
they were put out Of commission, !"
Pvt. McAdams said.
"The wounded didn't have q
chance" he said. "They were all
wrapped in sleeping bags 80 they
wouldn't freeze to death In 10 to
40 degrees below zero weather. We
couldn't stop for them. The Reds
even killed women and children
who tried to get out of there with
us.
1--WE fought our way through
roadblock after roadblock. About
8 pm. got hit in the right arm
and had to climb aboard the
truck. We rode that way until
midnight and then the motor
Of our truck was blown up by q
Red shell. That time I was hit
in the left arm and knocked OF
the truck"
Reduced to 3 Trucks.
BY that time, Pvt. McAdams
