Hand-to-Hand Combat in the Mountains of Korea | James Sharp
Sergeant James Sharp joined the U.S. Army on April 7, 1950. After basic training Sharp was sent to NCO school, but this training was cut short with the news that North Korea has crossed the 38th Parallel and ignited the Korean War.
Sharp found himself quickly shipped to the Korean Peninsula with the 1st Cavalry Division and was embedded into South Korea to help stop the advance of the KPA. He quickly became a seasoned combat veteran experiencing everything from chaotic firefights to intense hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
On April 7, 1951 Sharp would be wounded by an artillery round and receive the Purple Heart. He would serve the rest of his time in Korea recovering from his wounds behind the lines.
