Cameron Commemorates Korean War
The AFP reports:
SEOUL — Prime Minister David Cameron laid a wreath Thursday at the site of a brutal Korean War battle in which dozens of British troops died, as the country commemorated its war dead on Remembrance Day.
Ahead of a G20 summit in the South Korean capital, Cameron went to Gloster Valley, at Solma-ri north of Seoul, where troops from the 1st Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment, held out against superior Chinese forces until they were finally surrounded and overrun during the Battle of the Imjin River in 1951.
Some 59 troops died defending the site, while another 34 later died in captivity.
