of them using human shields. On 4 December, the 1st Battalion, 32nd Infantry Regiment, 7th Division, count- ed its survivors in Hagaru-ri. Only 181 officers and men of the original 1,053 remained. Losses were just as severe all along the line. By 7 December, Hagaru-ri had become an evacuation point and into it streamed the heartbroken remnants of the task force and of other infantry divisions trapped also by the Red Wave. C-47 after C-47 flew in empty A tank moving to u new position on the fighting front. The children have our most heartfelt sympathy. fem, ,,,. , M, . .,,.,..

and left with a full cargo of dead and wounded. Men sat along the airstrips in stunned silence, blood frozen to their uniforms and skin, frostbite pink on their faces and hands. To the north, the proud 17th Regiment was ordered to withdraw from Hagaru-ri on 5 December. They had to battle their way back to evacuation points through overwhelming forces of the enemy. It was a bitter fight for the 17th, a regiment long in tradition and glory which went back to Fredericksburg, Gettysburg and Chancellorsville in the Civil War and included Indian campaigns in the 1870s at Clear Creek, Powder River and in the Black Hills. It had taken part in the Philip- pines insurrection fighting the dreaded Moros and in the campaigns of Attu and Kiska, Leyte and finally Oki- nawa, where it spearheaded the drive which cut in half one of the most heavily defended atolls in the Pacific. Victory had always been at the end of the line. Now, f Q ,JR X l'i, ' 3 Q n 1 . i .-1 ,six , ' 2, . PA V 1 Q , , as .s , '-io X K 44 ei-W efsdaevy X aa, -ez- '1'alk about wires all fouled up!
