Guess, Ray Milton
Army Private 1st class
Ray Milton Guess, age 23, from Carter County Elizabethton, Tennessee .
Parents: Raymond R. Guess
Service era: Korea
Date of death: Unknown
Death details: By mid-November 1950, U.S. and Allied forces had advanced to within approximately sixty miles of the Yalu River, the border between North Korea and China. On November 25, approximately 300,000 Chinese Communist Forces (CCF) “volunteers” suddenly and fiercely counterattacked after crossing the Yalu. The 2nd Infantry Division, located the farthest north of units at the Chongchon River, could not halt the CCF advance and was ordered to withdraw to defensive positions at Sunchon in the South Pyongan province of North Korea. As the division pulled back from Kunu-ri toward Sunchon, it conducted an intense rearguard action while fighting to break through well-defended roadblocks set up by CCF infiltrators. The withdrawal was not complete until December 1, and the 2nd Infantry Division suffered extremely heavy casualties in the process. Corporal Ray Milton Guess, who joined the U.S. Army from Tennessee, served with D Company, 2nd Engineer Combat Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division. He was captured by enemy forces on December 1, 1950, during his unit’s withdrawal from Kunu-ri to Sunchon. Returning POWs who encountered him while in enemy captivity reported that Corporal Guess died of malnutrition and pneumonia in late January 1951. His remains have not been recovered. Corporal Guess is memorialized on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
