My dad was in the Marines at the time these test were taking place. He
was in the Marines from March 1952 to March 1954. He witnessed and took
part in the testing done in April 1953 which we believe to be
Badger. After the Marines he returned to his family farm near Hickson,
ND where he still farms to this day.
Was very glad to see that there was information on the internet
regarding "Upshot-Knothole." Are you aware of any additional
information on the web or in print that may be of interest?
He was in "E" Company
2nd Battalion
3rd Marines
3rd Marines Division.
