![]() Born: 1927 KIA: April 2, 1953 As a 2nd Lt., Edward J. Mueller, a recent graduate from West Point, joined M Company in December 1952. I assigned him as Machine Gun Platoon Leader. He was eager to be active in combat situations to advance his career and after I left M Company he joined the 15th Infantry Regiment Battle Patrol. After participating in numerous battle patrols for 4 months he stopped to visit me in my K Company CP as the battle patrol was preparing to go on a night reconnaissance patrol. He wanted to transfer to K Company and be a rifle platoon leader. I told him that I would request his transfer the next day. While on patrol that night he stepped on a mine, lost his leg. and died in the battalion aid station after being brought back to the lines. (Written by Captain Martin Markley) |

Once his platoon reached the trenches, the men fought it out as infantry in a fierce action that raged through the night. He died a soldier. (Comments by Mike Slater, photo by Freeman Bradford) |
