Description
The Last Stand of the 'Glorious Glosters' 1951 In the spring of 1951, over 350,000 veteran troops launched a massive assault along the Imjin River in Korea. The US 3rd Infantry Division and the British 29th Infantry Brigade, including the Gloucestershire Regiment, were among those defending against this onslaught. This book tells the story of their heroic defense, which would become one of the most epic clashes of the Korean War. Featuring full-color artwork, maps, and first-hand accounts, this account brings to life the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers involved. The Imjin River battle was a pivotal moment in the war, as it allowed the rest of the UN forces to regroup and organize an effective defense of Seoul, the South Korean capital city. A compelling and detailed look at one of the most significant battles of the Korean War, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in military history.
