  • The Korean War Veteran an Independent Internet Publication Dedicated to the Sacrifice and Indomitable Spirit of Those Who Served in the Korean War
    The Korean War Veteran An independent Internet publication dedicated to the sacrifice and indomitable spirit of those who served in the Korean War. January 3, 2011 2011 – Veterans will have many books, videos to choose from that cover history of Korean War By Vince Courtenay The first three chapters of Love and Duty have been sent out on the Internet. I hope they haven’t been embarrassing for anyone – especially the writer. More chapters will follow in intervals of a few days. I wish to note that the year 2010 has been a busy one for many writers and producers. Dan Bjarnason, who recently retired from the CBC TV where he wrote and produced many features about Canadian servicemen, has a book coming this March entitled Triumph at Kapyong, Canada’s Pivotal Battle in Korea . I think it is based on interviews with veterans, possibly including myself and should make good reading. There is no conflict in the two works. Love and Duty is a documentary novel with a broad, historical approach. I believe that Dan has taken an interview approach that compiles the recollections of several veterans. Dan has an Internet site for his new book (click below on link): http://kapyongkorea.wordpress.com/ On the site Dan has exposition from a Canadian who teaches English in Korea. The teacher sometimes explores battlefields. He reports that he has gone onto some of the old positions at Kapyong and recovered .303 brass as well as .30 Springfield that was used in M1 rifles. It is amazing that the old brass exists as it deteriorates quite rapidly and has been subjected to nearly 60 freeze-ups and thaws.

  • The Korean War Veteran Battle of Kapyong Memorialized by 6.5 Ton
    The Korean War Veteran Internet journal for the world’s Veterans of the Korean War January 28, 2019 Battle of Kapyong memorialized by 6.5 ton Kapyong Stone, shipped to Langley, British Columbia by Gapyeong County community Two veterans who fought in the Battle of Kapyong in April, 1951 joined with Canada’s Senator Yonah Martin in Langley, British Columbia, when a 6.5 ton boulder from Kapyong, Korea was dedicated as a lasting memorial to the Canadians who served in that battle. They are (left) Ted Adye, Senator Martin, John Bishop, and John’s wife, Judy Bishop. Kapyong (now spelled Gapyeong) is a very small city some 60 miles north by northwest out of Seoul. In April, 1951 the 27th Commonwealth Brigade blocked the advance units of two Chinese Divisions which were bent on reaching the crossroads at scenic Chungchong. From there it would be a rush down the unpaved highway to Seoul, at least in theory. U.S. reserve forces, included massive artillery and fighter bombers that had complete air mastery could have decimated the units on open ground. Yet many of the rear force units, including logistical bases, would have to be rolled back from the field of battle. To reach the Canadian, Australian, British, New Zealand and American defenders of the Kapyong River Valley the Chinese units in the spring offensive had marched 40 miles. This after savage battles with Republic of Korea units. They had outpaced their supply source, were fatigued and had no artillery support to conclude the drive. But their infantry were many and vastly outnumbered the 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI), which held blocking positions on the west side of the Kapyong River valley, and the 3rd Battalion, the Royal Australian Regiment (RAR), which held key hills on the eastern side.

  • Honouring the Veterans of the Korean War
    The Hon. Graham West MP Minister for Juvenile Justice NEWS RELEASE NEW SOUTH WALES Minister for Youth <~hcustom1:090409 Battle Minister for Volunteering Kapyong.doc> Minister Assisting the Premier on Veterans’ Affairs Saturday 18 April 2009 Honouring the veterans of the Korean War Member for Drummoyne, Angela D’Amore, and Minister Assisting the Premier on Veterans’ Affairs, Graham West, today laid wreaths at the annual Battle of Kapyong Service, held at Concord Hospital’s 113th Army General Hospital Memorial Chapel today. Organised by the Korea and South East Asia Forces Association of Australia, NSW Branch, the Service commemorates the 58th anniversary of the Battle of Kapyong in Korea. The Battle of Kapyong occurred ten months into the Korean War on the 23rd and 24th of April 1951. Australians, as part of the United Nations forces, supported South Korean troops in stalling the Chinese army’s offensive, which had been aimed at retaking the capital City of Seoul. Ms D’Amore said that 340 Australian servicemen were killed in the Korean campaign between the war’s beginning on 25th of June 1950 and its armistice on the 27th of July 1953. A further eighteen servicemen died during the years that followed with Australians continuing to serve on the Korean peninsula through to 1957. “The Battle of Kapyong was the most significant engagement for Australian troops during the Korean War,” Ms D’Amore said. “These young Australians, many of whom made the ultimate sacrifice, have helped preserve our peace and freedom. “In the lead-up to Anzac Day on April 25, it is important to remember the sacrifices made by those who served our country,” Ms D’Amore said.
