Today in 1951–during the #KoreanWar –the Chinese People's Volunteer Army assaulted positions held by the Royal Australian Regiment & the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry at the #BattleofKapyong . Though outnumbered, the U.N. force blocked a communist advance on #Seoul .
I’m saddened to hear Ron Shephard, #BattleofKapyong veteran, has passed away. He was 1 of only 3 surviving Kapyong veterans in Manitoba. Ron was wounded at Kapyong and evacuated to a military hospital in Japan. He stayed in the military and retired as a warrant officer. 1/2
A great thread by Canadian Forces in 🇺🇸 about Tommy Prince and residential schools in Canada. We must all take time to read, learn and act. Canada in Korea also paid tribute to Tommy Prince in our special book on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the #BattleOfKapyong
We remember the bravery and sacrifice shown by Canadian soldiers in the Battle of Kapyong 73 years ago.
Of the 516 Canadians who lost their lives during the Korean War, 10 were killed in this battle.
We will never forget.

On my last visit to #Gapyeong before the end of my posting to #Korea next week, I paid tribute to #CanadianVeterans of the #BattleOfKapyong at the 🇨🇦 monument. I am grateful for Gapyeong's continued support for Canada and #PPCLI 감사합니다
I am just a recreational runner 🏃🏻♂️ but I enjoy the medals and t-shirts. Many thanks to Canada Army Run | Course de l'Armée du Canada for sending the race kit this year despite the incident at your facility in August. The #BattleOfKapyong 10K medal means a lot to me given my recent posting in 🇰🇷.
Very glad to see Korean families visiting the Canada in Korea photo exhibition on the #BattleOfKapyong and #CanadianVeterans at the Korean War Memorial on this rainy Saturday #Kapyong70 #LestWeForget
