The British stand on the Imjin River, Korea 1951

[blurrededge]

On this Remembrance Sunday, I feel the need to recommend a book by Andrew Salmon "To The Last Round" The tale of the Battle of the Imjin River and the last stand of the Glorious Glosters on Hill 235, heavily outnumbered against Chinese human wave attacks.
With North Korea once again in the News it's worth remembering the previous sacrifices made by many young men in a war largely ignored or just forgotten unfortunately, by many people, at least in Britain it seems. Indeed, many people nowadays have no idea the British fought in Korea.
I'm pretty well read on the events of WW2 and felt I had good grasp on the historical events of British post war conflicts also, however after reading this book I was ashamed how little I knew.
