"After the UN-offensive of the first quarter that allowed the Allies to successfully recross the 38th parallel, the Chinese decided to resume the initiative. This is the famous "spring offensive" three army groups (more than 700 000 men) are launched into battle. The objective is clear: scan the allied units stretched along the line "Kansas" and push the effort to resume Seoul before the open negotiations for a ceasefire Panmunjeom…"

I know that terrain well. Spent lots of time around there. The valley, really a canyon, south of there is a death trap if the other guys hold the high ground. The US 72d Tank Battalion (my old unit) tried coming up it to reach the Glosters. They were too late and could only pick up the survivors. I spent a night up on Gloster Hill. Pretty eerie in the early morning mist. You half expect Chinese soldiers to come sneaking around. I have pictures of the monument and surrounding area somewhere. Will have to dig out and post them someday. |
