Ultimately, he was one of only two people in his company to survive the conflict. He attributes it to always being wary.
Just wondering, was your Dad demobbed after WW2 and 'invited' to participate in the Korean War, or did he serve continuously?

Doing some quick arithmetic and guesswork, I think he'd probably be about 28/29 at the end of the Korean War so I imagine his experience helped to hone his sense of wariness.
