Brutal Combat In Korea leaves Soldier with Shrapnel in Brain #militaryhistory #history #military
CPL Walter Dowdy was hit in the head by shrapnel during a intense bombing raid on his companies position.
He enlisted in 1948 out of high school, passed a test to enter Officer Candidate School but was instead shipped off to Japan in early 1950. He finally received orders to report to OCS back in the U.S. in September, but the Korean War broke out and the Army assigned him to a combat unit.
Hear Dowdy's full story on our YouTube channel.
