16 257 Garand Picture of the Day
Kagnew battalion soldiers in 1953, near the end of the Korean War.
The Ethiopian Kagnew Battalions were three successive battalions drawn from the 1st Division Imperial Bodyguard sent by Emperor Haile Selassie I between June 1951 and April 1954 as part of the United Nations forces in the Korean War. Even after the armistice, a token Ethiopian force remained in the country until 1965.
Altogether, 3,158 Ethiopians served in Kagnew Battalions during the war

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.
