Donald Oren Cable, age 22, from New London, Connecticut, New London county.
Service era: Korea
Date of death: Thursday, July 9, 1953
Death details: On July 6, 1953, a large Chinese Communist Forces (CCF) unit attacked and overran the U.S. Army outposts on Pork Chop Hill in an attempt to seize whatever territory possible before the impending armistice agreement. After fighting for the position for four days, on July 10, the 7th Infantry Division Commander determined that the CCF disregard for casualties and desire to hold the outpost outweighed the position’s tactical value, and ordered a withdrawal that was eventually completed on July 11. The U.S. never again controlled Pork Chop Hill, preventing thorough recovery efforts for those who were killed or went missing during the fighting. Private Donald Oren Cable, who joined the U.S. Army from Connecticut, served with the Medical Company, 17th Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division. He was killed on July 9 as the 17th Infantry Regiment fought Chinese troops for control of Porkchop Hill. Conditions on the battlefield prevented the immediate retrieval of his body, and the terms of the armistice placed the area where he fell in the northern sector of the Demilitarized Zone. Today, Private Cable is memorialized on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
