Summary



This is the story of Australia's 3RAR in the Korean War, culminating in the Battle of Kapyong in April 1951, where an Australian battalion held back an entire division of the Chinese army and prevented Seoul from being overrun - the only time Australians have fought Chinese troops. The focus is on the first-hand experiences of the soldiers - brave and resourceful larrikins - and on their brilliant commanders, Lieutenant-Colonel Charlie Green and Major Ben O'Dowd.
