a raw National Service Second Lieutenant when he was posted to Korea with

amazing episodes of the Korean war - the escape from Imjin river. READ

Reviews
Anonymous rated this book Excellent
At sixteen years of age, the author and I were in the same class at school. Just two years later he was a young officer in the Glosters looking across the Imjim river preparing for battle. After a few days of bitter fighting the battalion had exhausted their ammunition and food supplies. Although surrounded, he and others escaped. A month later the enemy were driven back and he returned to Gloster Hill to identify and bury his dead comrades. A gruesome episode. A true account of an astonishing historical battle told by a National Serviceman who, later, rejoined the army because he knew that is where he belonged. This book is about The Glosters, a proud regiment full of men like Dennys Whatmore. You have got to read it.
