Chosin Few On Veterans Day, Friday, November 11, 2011, the City of Murrieta unveiled its
Korean War Monument. One of the speakers at the memorial service was Rick Gibbs, a retired Air Force Colonel and current Murrieta City Councilman.
Gibbs read from the book “Colder Than Hell” quoting the words of Marine Lieuten-
ant Colonel Raymond Davis, who was the 1st Battalion Commander at the battle of Chosin Reservoir, Korea, November and December, 1950.
Shown below are excerpts from that book written by Marine Lt. Joseph Owen who was there serving with Lt. Colonel Davis.
“In December of 1950, the tem-
perature was recorded at minus 60 with winds of 60 knots and a wind chill well below minus 100. When we weren’t on the move, we were freezing. Up on the line we had only our body warmth. We wore woolen caps under our helmets to keep our ears from freezing. The hoods of the parkas went over the helmets and provided some protection from the bitter winds but obscured our peripheral vision. We seldom removed the knitted gloves that we wore under the canvas mittens. Bare fingers we found–froze to metal, they froze to weapons, bayonets, buckles–whatever we touched.
Chow was usually a can of half frozen rations,
although we learned to carry the next meal inside our clothing so it wouldn’t freeze solid. In daylight, if we weren’t under enemy observation we made

small cooking fires. The unused mortar propellant charges served to make a quick starter flame.
Down on the road if there was a vehicle near-
by, we filched gasoline and then poured it over any dirt or gravel that we managed to scrape from under the snow, and that made a skimpy but ad- equate flame. The cold rations diet caused stomach disorders. We alternated between constipation and diarrhea.
Weapons froze and seized up when we used lu-
bricating oil on them. They slowed up and jammed when we didn’t. The machine guns and BARs were most affected - on first firing they would hesitate two or three seconds between rounds, then slowly build up to their regular rate of fire. Hair tonic with alcohol in it became a fairly effective substitute lu- bricant.
