Arlington Bound: A Korean War Memoir: Corporal Robert H. Hickox, U. S. Army, Retired, "C" Company, 65th Combat Engineer Battalion, 25th Infantry Divis (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780788448010)

Robert Hickox was awarded three Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star with Valor, a POW Medal for thirty months in captivity in Pyuktong Prison Camp Five, and more for his service in the Korean War. This memoir briefly covers his life, but primarily he recounts his experiences during the Korean War.

"The dead speak. When one is privileged to hear their voices, one is obligated to quote them accurately. Several passages in this memoir contain racist language and battlefield jargon commonly used during the Korean War. Attitudes demonstrated by people in Bob's memoir were produced by the pressures experienced during youth and combat. ... The Hickox memoir records a powerful story, a tale of heroes fighting impossible odds. It is the last eyewitness account of a lost age, an age none of us should forget."

Five appendices augment the text: Memoir Extras, Individual Biographies, Casualty List 65th Engr Bn, 25th ID Daily Reports (edited), and Task Force Dolvin (declassified). Numerous photographs, and an index to full-names, places, and subjects add to the value of this work.
