In the background, I would like to see a few words about what the 24th Infantry Division was doing in Japan in 1950, which the reader may not know. It should also explain that it was stationed in Kyushu, and was therefore the closest of the four divisions there to Korea. can you say a bit more about just how under strength it was?
"Also at the town were elements of the 1st Battalion, 21st Infantry, the elements that had not made up Task Force Smith at the Battle of Osan." Suggest: "Also at the town were elements of the 1st Battalion, 21st Infantry that had not made up Task Force Smith at the Battle of Osan."
"Brigadier General George B. Barth, 24th Infantry Division's artillery commander, ordered the 1st Battalion, 21st Infantry to hold positions 2 miles (3.2 km) south of town before departing for Taejon." Who was departing for Taejon: the general or the battalion?
"Major General Dean, commander of the 24th Infantry Division, telegraphed the command from Taejon," are you sure he sent a telegram? This was unusual in 1950, as telephones, telexes and radios were in common use.
