An excellent article on the Battle of Kapyong in 1951, where an Australian and a Canadian battalion held off overwhelming Red Chinese forces.

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.
