Crawford, Charles Eugene Sr.
Army Sergeant 1st class
Charles Eugene Sr. Crawford from Richland County Fayetteville, South Carolina .
Spouse: Mary E. Crawford
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. Master Sergeant Charles Eugene Crawford Sr., who joined the U.S. Army from South Carolina, served with Battery C, 38th Field Artillery Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division. He was captured by enemy forces on November 30, 1950, as his unit made a fighting withdrawal south from Kunu-ri to Sunchon. He was marched north with a group of prisoners to Camp 5 at Pyoktong, where he died of malnutrition several weeks after arrival. His remains have not been identified among those returned to U.S. custody after the war. Today, Master Sergeant Crawford is memorialized on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. His name is also inscribed on the Korean War Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, DC, which was updated in 2022 to include the names of the fallen.
