  Notes	19 June 1951 The Tonawanda News, N. T. GI Dies On Front Line of Korean War A North Tonawanda veteran with four years of service in World War II became the fourth man from the Twin Cities killed in action in the Korean conflict. He is Pfc. Kenneth H. Glawf, 34, husband of Mrs. Shirley Glawf of 311 Bryant St. and son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Glawf of 1711 Ruie Rd. A Department of Defense telegram received by his wife June 14 reported his death on June 3 while serving with the 27th Infantry, Wolfhound Regiment, in Korea. The telegram gave no details. Pfc. Glawf earned a sergeant's rating in his combat infantry service in World War II. He held the combat infantryman's badge or 21-months of overseas duty and the European Theater ribbon with three stars. He was sent to Korea in March. His latest letters home described the fierceness of the fighting. He wrote … "things are rough … the smell is terrible because of the many bodies of dead Communist soldiers unburied … they attack with disregard of weapons and often try to overcome us in hand-to-hand combat without rifles." Pfc. Glawf was formerly employed by the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company and was a member of St. Peter's Evangelical & Reformed Church. -- NAME OF CASUALTY GLAWF KENNETH H SERVICE PREFIX AND NUMBER RA32730923 GRADE PV2 Private E-2 GRADE CODE 7 Private E-2 BRANCH IN Infantry PLACE OF CASUALTY LN North Korea Sector DAY OF CASUALTY 3 3 MONTH OF CASUALTY 06 JUNE YEAR OF CASUALTY A 1951 STATE OF RESIDENCE 23 New York COUNTY OF RESIDENCE 063 Niagara TYPE OF CASUALTY KIA Killed in Action OR Missing in Action, KIA PREVIOUS/DETAIL CODE OF CASUALTY CASUALTY GROUP CODE 1 KIA or Missing in Action, KIA PLACE OF DISPOSITION LN North Korea DAY OF DISPOSITION 3 3 MONTH OF DISPOSITION 6 Jun YEAR OF DISPOSITION A 1951 YEAR OF BIRTH 16 16 MILITARY OCCUPATIONAL SPECIALTY CODE 04745 Light Weapons Infantryman TROOP PROGRAM SEQUENCE NUMBER 07025 IN DIV - 25TH TROOP PROGRAM SEQUENCE NUMBER ELEMENT SEQUENCE 60 IN DIV INF REGT UNIT 0027 0027 RACE CODE OR RACIAL GROUP CODE 1 White COMPONENT 1 USA - RA (Reg Army)
