THE GLOSTERS IN THE KOREAN WAR: From Mobilisation to the Battle of The Imjin River and Beyond

The Glosters' stand at Imjin River exemplifies extraordinary courage, buying crucial time for UN forces in a brutal cold-war crisis. Of the 620 Glosters who entered the battle, only a small number escaped. Many were killed or wounded, and more than 500 were taken prisoner. For their extraordinary courage, the battalion received the U.S. Presidential Unit Citation, an honor rarely granted to non-American units. Contains 100 mono illustrations.
