Their lives and their training were both disrupted when the Korean War broke out and marine reserves were called up to fill out the First Marine Division. Evansville's men went to Korea on short notice, to endure Korea's hostile landscape and fight against formidable Chinese opponents. Most of them arrived in time for the march out from Chosin and were veterans by the time of the fighting in spring 1951. Except for six who didn't return, they mostly served out their time by the end of 1951
