| Description: |
Nineteen year old Dave Green was a National Serviceman in the Korean War. Not only did he fight in two major battles but he was captured at the Imjin River along with those of his Glosters who were not killed. They then endured extraordinary hardships over the next two years at the hands of Chinese and North Korean captors. |
| Synopsis: |
The author, a young conscript, fought with The Glorious Glosters at the legendary Imjin River battle. Heavily outnumbered by the Chinese and subjected to 'human wave' infantry attacks, he and his colleagues suffered the trauma of being over-run. Dave and those who were not killed became POWs having to endure appalling conditions for over two years. This fighting soldier's memoir brings home some most unpalatable truths. |
