Nicholas Pucci
Pfc. Nicholas S. Pucci, 18, died, Sept. 6, 1950, in Pusan, Korea.
Pucci, a son of Patrolman and Mrs. James V. Pucci of Woodland Avenue, was killed in action. He is Nutley's first casualty of the Korean War.
Pucci was a member of the 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division.
Pucci, who left Nutley High School in July 1949, to enlist in the Army, was killed while fighting with a heavy artillery unit of the First Division on the Taegu front.
A telegram from Army authorities announcing his death in action came to the family only a short time after a letter arrived from Korea, dated Aug. 27, asking for cookies and candy to sweeten his Army rations.
Pucci had been stationed briefly in Japan with the First Division before the Korean affair developed.
Pucci is survived by his parents, and two sisters, Mrs. Angelina Policastro and Mrs. Katherine Boston, both of Nutley.
Three months after Pucci's death, the Avondale and Big Tree Boys Club asked the town to help build a memorial in his honor in Father Glotzbach Park.

Regarding Burt Hafkin
Regarding your web tribute to soldier Burt Hafkin, who died 18 Oct 1951 in Korea, member of the 21st Reg, 24th Infantry Division, which was not on Heartbreak Ridge.
The 24th ID was fighting in Operation Nomad-Polar, east of the Punchbowl/Heartbreak Ridge. They were trying to take Hill 770 and other peaks south of Kumsong the day he was killed. After the Allies broke the enemy in the Iron Triangle earlier in the summer, the Chinese had shifted their main operations eastward to Kumsong, which became one of the Chinese' main supply routes. Operation Nomad, although overlooked by most historians, was a brutal battle lasting from 13 - 22 October 1951. The daily average casualty rate was higher than either Heartbreak or Bloody Ridge.
Because Heartbreak was much in the news -- and overlapped Operation Nomad by two days -- it was a common mistake for newspapers to report casualties of Nomad as being part of Heartbreak Ridge, which was carried out primarily by the 2nd Infantry Division.
