Just noticed this new sub-forum (good idea, by the way!), and thought I would make a small contribution.
This is my favorite of the few cool souvenir pieces that we have had over the years:
A key element in the Imjin River battle, the Glosters held Hill 235 against overwhelming odds; cut off from all support and low on supplies and ammunition. They managed to hold back the Chinese 187th Division back for 24 hours, then those few remaining who were able made a break for Allied lines. The hill was afterward renamed "Gloster Hill" in honor of their defiant stand which purchased enough time from the enemy to allow the left flank of I Corps to withdraw safely.
