In December 1950, some 100,000 UN troops were trapped in the North Korean port of Hungnam. They had been overwhelmed by Chinese forces in what became known as the Battle of Chosin, and were lucky to make it out of the mountains alive.
They had faced an army 레플리카신발=레플리카신발
almost four times their size. But now there was only one way to get to safety. By sea. And they had very little time to do it: the Chinese were closing in.
But the troops were 구찌=구찌여성의류
not alone. Thousands of North Korean refugees had also fled to the freezing beach. Many had walked miles through deep snow with young children in the hope of being saved.
They were cold, exhausted and desperate.
Around 100 US ships, including 이미테이션쇼핑=이미테이션쇼핑
the SS Meredith Victory, had sailed to Hungnam to pick up the troops, supplies and ammunition and take them to the South Korean ports of Busan and Geoje Island.
Rescuing refugees had never been part of the plan.
Colonel Edward Forney of the US Marine Corps worked with others to try to make it part of the mission. His grandson Ned lives 천안원룸매매
in Seoul.
"If you want to win a war - your job is not to rescue civilians," Ned, a marine veteran, tells me. "It's a nice thing to do. But the military does come first."
