You're Top Poster: #3   | AWARDS to CANADIANS in the KOREAN WAR
__________________ Spidge, ------------------------------------------------------- My Avatar is the memorial to the 22 Commonwealth Coastwatchers at the Temakin Cemetery on Betio (Tarawa Atoll) who were beheaded by the Japanese on 15th October 1942. http://www.dva.gov.au/media/publicat...mem_beito.html "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

You're Top Poster: #20  | Canadian Korean War Memorial Garden The Canadian Korean War Memorial Garden is situated in Naechon, northeast of Kapyong-gun and just below the hills which were defended by Canadian Forces in the Battle of Kapyong in April 1951. Three monuments have been erected here: a stone cairn to commemorate Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI); a stone tablet with three panels in Korean, English and French listing the units of the Canadian Forces which participated in the Korean War and the larger memorial, unveiled in 1985, and dedicated by the people of Korea to the memory of the approximately 26,000 Canadians who served in Korea. Of these, 516 died and 1,255 were wounded. In addition, a number of scholarships are awarded each year by various Canadian organizations to Korean students of the Kapyong Buk Middle School as a "living memorial" and to provide ongoing support to the Korean people. The children from this school also assist in maintaining the memorial park. |
