An excellent article on the Battle of Kapyong in 1951, where an Australian and a Canadian battalion held off overwhelming Red Chinese forces. http://www.awm.gov.au/encyclopedia/kapyong/doc.asp |

I remember reading about it, it was something else... I think those battalions were some of the only foreign units to get the Presidential Unit Citation. |

Very interesting article. I will be frank and say that I have never heard of battle of Kapyong before, however, my knowledge of the Korean War is very limited... |

Korea is often described as 'The Forgotten War', and some battles don't get the same profile as others due to the participants. |
