Col. Barrick Comes Home To Be Post Engineer At Detrick When an Army officer who ha? spent a virtual lifetime in service that has taken him to the far corners of the world finally Rets an important assignment in his own home town, it apparently would climax a soldier's dream. And that's exactly how he feels about it. admitted Lieut. Col.

Robert F. Barrick, 213" East Second street, arrived home Monday even- Ing from a tour of in Japan and more recently battle-torn 'Korea. Under new orders, Col. Barrick reported today at a Detrick here to assume the duties Of Post Engineer. Daughter In Marines Col.

Barrick hasn't had too much time to talk since his arrival home Monday evening, but his return at that particular time was most opportune. It occurred before the end of a furlough for his daughter, PVt. Helen Rebecca Barrick. US MC, who recently completed "boot training" as a Lady Marine at Parris Island, S. and who left Tuesday for assignment to San Diego, Calif.

Naturally, all the family and Col. Barrick, Army Engineers, and Pvt. Barrick, USMC, had lots to talk about--and they did. Enroute to San Diego, Pvt. Barrick, who arrived home Thanksgiving Eve, planned to stop at New Orleans to visit a sister, Mrs.

Joseph S. (Betty) whose husband, incidentally, is an Army reserve, lieut- erant expecting to be recalled to duty at any time. Despite his Very obvious desire to be closeted within the family circle, Col. Barrick was amiability itself. He couldn't help but be-he was home and to all intents and purpose, his new assignment will keep him here for a Jong time to come.

So, the Frederick Army officer quite willingly "took a few minutes out" to talk. And here's the latest bit about his career, by now familiar to many of his friends: Served 32 Months In Japan His new assignment as Post Engineer at Camp Detrick marks 1 the end of thirty-two months in I Japan, attached to the Air Force as installations officer at several posts--in addition to Korea from last August 8 to September 8. On I November 9. he sailed from Yoko- 'homa aboard the transport, Gen- eral Charles G. Morton, for San Francisco, where he arrived No- ed "contact" funsuB--'tne first lime I ever had 'athlete's foot' on my arms and legs." he said showing (he scarred evidence of what could i have been mammoth mosquito at- 1 tacks.

Last September 8, his engineering assignment as an installations officer in Korea having been completed. Col. Barrick was ordered back to Nagoya. the Fifth Air Force H. Q.

Two more months, and he was enroute home. Col. Barrick had little to say about the Korean struggle for two reasons. At the moment, he didn't have time--and from the viewpoint of the military, it was not expedient. He did characterize the Korean war as "the most unusual conflict in which our Army has ever participated." Proceeding to explain, he said there is no way of telling the difference between South Koreans and the Communist North Koreans, to say nothing of the Red soldiers of China.

"From our point of view, all Mongolians look, alike," he asserted. Lieut. Col. R. F.

Barrick vember 21. He immediately entrained for home, meeting some delay in the Mid-West due to snow, and subsequently arrived here Monday evening. Col. Barrick was home about a year ago--that time under different circumstances. It was in November of 1949 that the Frederick officer came home on emergency leave from the Nagoya Headquarters of the Fifth Air Force in Japan due to the illness of Mrs.

Barrick, who has since greatly improved. He ivas back In japan last January 23. Sent To Korea Then stationed at the Yokota Air Base, Col. Barrick was due to come home in August--but June 25 came along, and with it, the Korean outbreak. Instead of coming to America, he was sent to Korea on August 8, and during the ensuing month, his best-remember- Overwhelming Manpower With reference to manpower.

Col. Barrick said "we are facing an enemy of hundreds per man-our "men." The Communist Red armies live off the country and use the country--they force the civilian villagers into carrier service to transport baggage, food and nm-1 nitions, he continued. The difficulty distinguishing between friend and foe explains the ease with which the the enemy infiltrates behind our lines, encircling and encompassing in movements that make casualty lists soar, it was pointed out. "The cunning of the people and their unlimited numbers" were factors that give little cause for undue optimism, the local Army officer infer- red. Praises Gen.

Church In one brief concluding reference to the Korean strife. Col. Barrick paid tribute to Major Genera! John H. Church, commander of the famed 24th Division, which bore a major brunt of the original I North Korean invasion south of the SBttt Parallel and wnicn nas continued to figure prominently throushtnit the counter-drive by the forces of the i Nations. "Frederick is the adopted home of General Church," said Col.

Barrick, "He married a Frederick girl. (tho former Miss Regina Haller) was the first National Guard instructor to be stationed here after World War I. subsequently served two tours of here and claims this city as his adopted home." At the outbreak of the current struggle. General Church was plnocd in command of the South Korean defense, Col. Bnrrlck pointed expressing the belief a "hardly a man could have been left out of the original 24th Division." Paying tribute to General Church as a soldier, Col.

Barrick emphatically said: "Frederick should certainly pay him honor." Pleased With New Assignment Col. Barrick, himself a former commanding officer of old Company Maryland National Guard in Frederick, hasn't spent much time here for over a score of years. For some twenty years prior to 1946, he was virtually in charge at Camp Ritchie, Cascade, where he designed and planned the construction of mst of the buildings erected there. He later became Post Engineer at Edgewood Arsenal and was assigned to the Air Force in 1947. For around three months a year, he was in the Arctic in such far-off bases as Greenland.

Newfoundland and Labrador and after i to the States for a short i was assigned to Japan. While in the Orient, various Taunts mm rarmnur with innumeroble spots that loom large In Americn's i i a conquests In World II's Pacific history. Col. Barrick doesn't hesitate a minute, however, to express grail- fication with his newest assignment.
