In Memory Of Late Captain Robert Lee Timmons

Kinsley Lee

Smoke, gunfire, cannon're thundering,
To the front fortress, wave attacking!
The assailants, The People's Army, the strongest enemy,
They're former Red Chinese Eight Route-Army,
The One hundred sixty sixth division,
Was changing uniform to sixth division.

They thrusted the Masan for gaining road
To Busan. The mountain's an important node.
The division risked their life for defending,
Losing the fortress and again occupying,
The possessor of the fortress was changed, in short time,
Several times, on the hill not ceasing the smoke climb.

Timmons' company encamped the mountain
They risked their lives, at the Seo-bug mountain,
For guarding the Masan, but he's wounded sadly,
But during transferring, being raided by enemy.
His body was found a year later. Far
Away, he left this land, be a star.

Even young Robert passed for Korea
And his son was appointed a commander at Korea
And his grandson's appointed a company commander
In Korea, his family is with Korea not bystander
For long time. And we must not forget him and family
Owing to them, from the disaster, we won a victory.

Late Captain Robert Lee Timmons passed by war during Masan battle, for defending action at Seo-bug Mountain. And most of his company solders were passed during the battle. We should not forget them forever. And we always should thank you for their sacrifice.
