Korea:Canada icon

's Forgotten War by John Melady
Pub.1983 ISBN 0-7715-9780-0

The book has a lot of great first hand accounts of indviduals who were there.The author interviewed veterans who were in the front lines,the navy,doctors + nurses,RCAF + the ones who were in Japan icon

.Theres a few stories from Pierre Burton + on Fred Demara the man who joined the RCN as a doctor + was after serving 6 months on the Cayuga + doing a number of operations was found out he had stolen medical certificates + impersonated as a doctor.Theres alot of good pics + in the back there's an honour roll of all the troops who lost there lives.Theres also a list of medals + awards given to each soldier from Canada + allied countries.

It dosen't go into great detail of all the battles that Canada was involed in,can anybody reccommend one.

Next on my reading list is The Price of Command,a biography of General Guy Simonds by Dominic Graham

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Thanks, it sounds like a great book about a war too many have forgotten!

Google up "Re-thinking the Korean War." Very revealing to learn the REAL reasons we entered into the Forgotten War.

I remember reading a story about a group of Canadians, I believe they were the Princess Patricia Brigade who were pinned down on a hilltop and stood their gound till help arrived...

I'm very happy that Canada icon

is our friend, probably closer to family the way we squabble, but always back each other.
