First Lieutenant Arthur Franklin Mulock, Jr.
(Page 3) |
As a result of a query placed in “The Graybeards,” the Korean War Veterans
Association magazine, Joe Gomez of McLoud, Oklahoma wrote that he joined
Lieutenant Mulock’s platoon in June 1950 in Japan. Gomez said that the
34th Infantry Regiment, their regiment, shipped to South Korea July 5,
1950. He said that he was with Mulock on an outpost in Taejon on July 19,
1950 when Mulock was wounded and evacuated. Gomez said that he and another
member of the platoon, French Kennedy, were captured on July 20, 1950 and
released from captivity in 1953. Gomez said that he never saw Mulock
during his captivity
Arthur Mulock’s name appears on the Korean War Memorial in Charlestown,
Massachusetts and is also engraved on paving bricks at the Korean War
Memorial in Worcester, Massachusetts. Arthur Mulock’s sister, Carolyn
McElhiney, has provided a DNA sample to be used in the event Arthur’s
remains are ever recovered.
Arthur Mulock’s awards and decorations include the Bronze Star Medal,
Purple Heart Medal, Good Conduct Medal, Parachute Wings, Combat Infantry
Badge with Star, American Campaign Medal, National Service Medal,
Europe-Africa Campaign Medal with four battle stars and invasion
arrowhead, World War II Victory Medal, World War II Occupation Medal,
Korean Campaign Medal, United Nations Medal, Republic of Korea Medal,
United States Distinguished Unit Citation, French Fourragere, Belgian
