Not true. My father served in the First Marine Regiment in the First Marine Division and he told me (in 1952) only 648 men of the 5000 in his regiment survived the battle of Chosin Reservoir. The fifth and seventh regiments lost almost as many men. The papers have always lied about their losses. There are way too many different accounts of that battle and they all have different numbers. The documentary 'Chosin' ( https://www.amazon.com/CHOSIN-Documentary-Film-Brian-Iglesias/dp/B005EUXN6E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494788042&sr=8-1&keywords=chosin+dvd) is told by the men who fought at Chosin and what they say in that documentary does not agree with Wikipedia, or anyone else at all. In the documentary they couldn't find any men from the 1/1 because there weren't any left when the made the film. It's the only documentary where several marines with no fingers from frostbite told their stories about what happened there. The footage taken at that time is not like the many whitewashed documentaries I have seen.
This of course is not your fault. Your colorizing is very good. The monsoon seasons were very drab, turn the brightness down two stops.
The Chosin campaign was incredible. Too few people know about it. It's taught to the Marines, if I'm not mistaken.
Talking 300 Spartans at Thermopylae story and quotes.
I had the honor of hearing a man who served there speak to a class in college. Totally amazing and awe-inspiring.
Watch Brian Iglesias' documentary on it. I watch it every year with my students.
