CONTENTOn this podcast we feature the British involvement in the Korean War which took place between 1950 - 1953. A war that is fairly unknown and overshadowed by WW2 and later the Vietnam war. It is considered forgotten but was as gruelling as any of the WW2 theatres of operations. We discuss the prelude to war, the opening engagements, the ferocious battle for Imjin against a determined and fanatical enemy alongside the bravery and fighting spirit not only of the Gloucester Regiment but the rest of 29 Brigade consisting of 1st Battalion Royal Northumberland Fusiliers and 1st Battalion Royal Ulster Rifles supported by the 25 pounder guns of 45 Field Regiment Royal Artillery, 4.2 inch mortars of 170 Independent Mortar Battery RA and the tanks of C Squadron 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars and by 55 Squadron Royal Engineers. We also talk about the retreat from the Chosin reservoir, a gruelling fight undertaken by 41 (Independent) Commando Royal Marines deployed alongside the United States Marines. We finish off with General Douglas Macarthur's nuclear strategy that would've reduced a large swathe of Korea to nuclear waste and was one of the reasons he was relieved of his command.WHERE TO GET OUR DESERT ISLAND DITS BOOK CHOICESMost of our book recommendations can be bought via the Unconventional Soldier Bookshop. 10% of each purchase supports the pod and helps independent book stores on line sales.

Chris joined the army at the age of 17 with his first posting was to Brisbane to C Squadron, 2nd 14th Light Horse Regiment ( Queensland Mounted Infantry). Chris's brother Scott was already posted there as he had joined in mid ‘05. He then posted to B Squadron 3rd / 4th Cavalry Regiment in Townsville in 2009 and was immediately attached to Bravo Company on Mentoring and Reconstruction Task Force 2 (MRTF2) Afghanistan with 1 RAR Battle Group. He deployed again in 2011 whilst still at B 3/4, this time with the Mentoring Task Force 3 (MTF3) as part of the 2 RAR battle group Afghanistan. In September 23rd, 2011 the PMV Chris was commanding struck an IED which resulted in destroying the vehicle and both the driver and Chris were wounded in action with both escaping serious injury.

To mark the 75th Anniversary Commemorations of VE Day, we spoke with a few of the veterans we know about their experiences on 8th May 1945 and hear their advice for future generations. Ken served in 3 Troop, C Squadron of the 1 Northamptonshire Yeomanry. His unit arrived in Normandy a few days after D-Day and its Sherman Tanks were thrown into the thick of the action as an independent armoured brigade. Ken operated as a gunner, but due to his taking / passing the initial test for officer training before the unit left for oversea operations, he was promoted to a tank commander and frequently utilised in this role, taking over from other tank co’s when they were wounded. Ken served the whole way through the fierce fighting of the Normandy Campaign including in and around Caen, then the breakout towards Falaise and the Seine. This included Operation Totalise and the fierce battle to take and hold the bourguebus ridge in August 1944. Following the break out he took part in the capture of Le Havre before eventually going onto fighting into and through Holland. But in October 1944 Ken’s war was over, his tank overturned and he sustained a serious leg injury, he was evacuated by Dakota back to the UK to undergo an operation and recover.

The pace of his unit means that his letters become less frequent as he moves from “C” Squadron, 42nd Royal Tank Regiment of the 11th Armoured Division, 23rd Hussars to the newly formed “A” squadron.
