I am Korean. My family fled during the Korean War and settled in Busan and has been living well so far. After a long time, the Republic of Korea has developed a lot and suffered a lot in the war. I'm helping countries that are missing. All of these are the sacrifices of many countries that helped during the Korean War and thanks to people. It's been a long time now, but many people still appreciate and remember your hard work during the Korean War. Thank you very much for protecting the Republic of Korea with young blood during the Korean War. I will never forget your sacrifice in the Korean War until I die. Thank you. You are the true heroes of Korea.

Tell you what though Australian troops while being supported by New Zealand artillery was not to be fucked with back in those days. Seeing this and the battle of Long Tan, they averaged a kill to death ratio of like 2000 enemy killed for every 1 death. Also the fact that Canadian troops were holding back multiple waves of machine gun wielding Chinese that were attacking from multiple directions with only single shot rifles for as long as they did is awe-inspiring. May us Western brothers always remain allies!

This is one of my father's stories of the War in Korea. He was a sergeant in D Company of 2PPCLI. One day to add to the C-Rations his troopers had to eat in the field he went hunting for game with his Lee-Enfield rifle. He eventually saw a deer which he shot & started to field dress. The deer was full of worms which put him off & he decided to abandon it. Starving civilian refugees streaming southward showed up & begged him for the meat. He waved it to them & they fell upon it skinning & cutting it up. They were so grateful & they offered him the best piece which he declined. They were so hungry he also gave them his C-Rations. He told me this story years later with tears in his eyes, a lump in his throat. His name was John David Wesołowski.

I interviewed an Australian veteran of that battle, Ted Hearn Ted had been one of the subjects I interviewed from the WWII 2/14 battalion of the Australian Imperial Force, veterans of the Middle east, New Guinea and Borneo. Ted had collapsed with scrub typhus during the brutal and legendary Kokoda track campaign where the Japanese had attempted to cross the Owen Stanly ranges of New Guinea to capture Port Moresby. He regained consciousness in a repatriation hospital in Melbourne Australia. In spite of his papers being marked 'not to serve outside Australia' Ted volunteered for the Korean war. Ted was quite a character. After defeating the Vichy French in the Syria campaign, another forgotten war but 'nasty little war', he and an engine driver mate had borrowed a steam train and drove it to the Turkish border and back. He said of Korea, 'It had two types of weather, boiling hot and freezing cold. We should have apologized and given it back to the Koreans'. Ted said of Kapyong 'It was worse than anything I faced in the last war... They came on, wave after wave like ants, blowing bugles and making all kinds of noise.' The battle ended on April 25, ANZAC day, the anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli in WWI. Sadly all the men i interviewed are gone now, but we will remember them at the 2/14 battalion reunion lunch on Friday.

Like the rest, he never spoke of it and we only learned a little through a documentary the History Channel did, with him and 3 others " War Story". How these soldiers were treated by Canadian government was despicable: they were not to wear their uniforms when they came home as it wasn't a war- it was peacekeeping. Yet Truman awarded them the Citation. And the South Korean President sent them congratulatory letters. Canada? Only the soldiers that were alive received, a piece of paper from Harper's government acknowledging their involvement. Big deal.

Outnumbered, outgunned but stuck it out, then the nz gunners got into action, could have been much worse.

My uncle was a corporal in 3rar in Korea. Not sure if he was in this battle. He was wounded when he tripped a mine in an unmarked us minefield. He ended up becoming an RSM .

In a Korean War documentary, an American veteran said he was greeted by ONE person when he returned home from Korea. Understandable.

Sorry but I cant resist 04:21 he said the Lee-Enfield was from 1914, but the SMLE is from 1904 and designed in 1903 which is just a short version of the MLE of 1895, so its realy a Victorian Rifle in Post War usage

I hope that old timer also thinks about that border between North and South and how they held that line. That border is in large part thanks to those brave Canucks. Soldiers like that are the reason I still proudly display the maple leaf on all my vehicles and packs and gun bags. If you've read this far is a couple other not so well known facts about the Canadian military. There is a movie about this called The Devil's Brigade, I myself have never seen it, I know about it because I watched the scene from it when I was searching for the song Scotland the brave. Anyway that was the nickname of the first Anyway that was the nickname of the first Special Service Force from World War II. It was a unit that consisted of top us and Canadian soldiers which were specially trained in certain tactics. A few years later the first Special Forces Unit was formed, which I believe later became Delta Force. The red Arrowhead they use for their airborne is actually the US Canada badge that they used for the first special service Force, the unit that is credited as the first actual Special Forces Unit that paved the way for the specific and special training and duties for nearly all the special forces in the USA and Canada. Most War and history Buffs know about the German Stormtroopers but what a lot of them don't know was they actually stole those tactics after seeing and fighting against the Canadians at the battle of Somme, the Canadians were first called Stormtroopers by the Germans before the Germans made the decision to have a stormtrooper unit on every Battlefront. Hundreds of years ago military's dreaded the sound of bagpipes if they were on the wrong side of them, Scotsman were known as some of the toughest Warriors to ever fight. The east coast of Canada was actually settled by Scotsman, that's why people from Newfoundland have an accent, that accent actually derives from a Scottish accent. Military-wise Canada in Scotland have always been fairly tight and after forming the Scottish 16th battalion ( a battalion whether they were Canadian or Scottish that demanded they have pipes when they go into war ) the Canadian Forces to this day still use bagpipes and Scotland the brave is still a song that the Canadian military plays and uses. And what I love about it, is that in World War I if you heard those pipes it wouldn't matter which military it is, Canadian or Scottish, it was a really bad thing if you were against them. I talk about that Stormtrooper bit because before that the Canadian military hadn't really made a name for itself, after that they were feared, and I just love the idea of the enemy hearing the pipes and shitting themselves knowing that Scotsman and Canadians are coming their fucking way Canadians, americans, and Scottish all have been nicknamed devil in some way or another in war
