The Army on horseback that once was the United States Cavalry is no more, for our Army today is a mechanized force. But "cavalry" is a proud word in military terminology and no one displays that pride more than the men of the 1st Cavalry Division. They call themselves "troopers," like their tough for-bearers who, a century ago, rode against the Indian tribes of the west. Today, these men of the division (sometimes called "the first team") keep alive the cavalry's legendary tradition of bravery by fighting, when they are called upon to fight, with courage and an indomitable will to win. The Big Picture brings to the screen the story of the 1st Cavalry Division in Korea; a story as illustrious as any in the cavalry's magnificent history. Film 2: Big Picture: The 24th Infantry Division in Korea (1950s) B&W Runtime 28 minutes This is the story of the 24th Infantry Division in Korea and of its magnificent performance. The 24th Division was formed out of the old Hawaiian division shortly before Pearl Harbor, and it fought bravely in many decisive battles in the Southwest Pacific that followed. With victory, it went on occupation duty in Japan. When war came again, the men of the 24th were the first Americans to reach the bitter and tragic soil of Korea. In this film presentation, viewers will follow the history of the 24th Infantry Division from their first difficult days of battle in Korea until November 1954, when the proud colors of the Division marched in Korea for the last time. This is the first program dealing with a division that fought in Korea. Film 3: Big Picture: The 25th Infantry Division in Korea (1950s) B&W Runtime 28 minutes The story begins on June 25, 1950, when the division was still in Japan. As filmed by combat cameramen of the Army Signal Corps, the history of the "Tropic Lightening" Division in Korea is told. Dedicated to all those men of the division--past, present and future--this film presentation follows the battle from a perimeter defense in the north near Sangju, through a dramatic shift under cover of darkness of 150 miles south to meet the Pusan-bent enemy, and back up the Korean Peninsula. Then, began Operation "Mop-Up," a housecleaning, 25th Division style. As the war progressed, excellent footage was taken of the division on the outskirts of Seoul in January, 1951, as U.N. troops retired from the city. With the start of Armistice negotiations in July 1951, the division took up defenses along "The Iron Triangle." Here, cameras caught the searchlight company in action, psychological warfare in extensive use, and finally, in May, 1953, the division's last major battle. All films on this DVD are automatically Public Domain because they were made by the U.S. Military. I claim ownership and rights to this media.
