The Korean War has been branded the 'Forgotten War', a lonely, thankless, unromantic conflict fought in a remote corner of the globe.

It was so soon after World War Two that some saw it as a sad little echo – but it was a bitter war that cost 1,584 Australian casualties including 340 dead, yet its memory has been allowed to slumber.


Battlefield Korea casts fresh light on that sadly unremembered conflict, documenting the heroism of the Australian soldier from the Yalu to Pusan and back, including Kapyong, Kowang San, Maryang San and Samichon.


The Battle Honours and individual citations encapsulate the courage, determination and mateship of the Royal Australian Regiment soldiers in battle.


Imperial and American award recipients are included as are those Mentioned in Dispatches and the citations give a remarkable battlefield authenticity.
