Shown are Korean hills with a brief historical sketch of the country. Canadian artillery, armour, and infantry are previewed in action. The Special Force, renamed the 25th Brigade in August 1950, move to Fort Lewis, Washington to undergo rigorous training in the rain and mud, go on route marches, and learn to use Bren Gun Carriers, machine guns, and flame throwers. The commander, Brigadier J.M. Rockingham, inspects the men, as does Governor General Viscount Alexander of Tunis. The 2nd Battalion of the Princess Patricia's Light Canadian Infantry board ship for Korea. In mid-April 1951, the rest of the Brigade move to Seattle and embark for Korea. After disembarking at Pusan, the Canadians undergo more training and see action east of Seoul as part of the 8th Army. Sequences are seen on: Canadian soldiers advancing; supplies brought by half-tracks as other vehicles get stuck in deep mud; the 38th parallel marker with Brigadier Rockingham and a UN observer; road construction; soldiers on patrol helping a casualty as Koreans move supplies forward; refugees taking to the roads; and an artillery barrage in process. The voice over narration describes the experiences and feelings of the soldiers. Commonwealth troops are shown in action. Seen in the ceremony forming the 1st Commonwealth Division on 28 July 1951, attended by Major General James Cassels, Lieutenant General Robertson, and 8th Army commander General Van Fleet. Sequences show: soldiers fording a river during monsoon season; preparations for a big push beginning as artillery and tanks from the Lord Strathcona Horse and Infantry get set to move in the Imjin River region; a chaplain talking about the men; a hilarious hockey game on the frozen Imjin River pitting New Zealanders and Australians against Canadians; troops from Canada arriving by landing craft under Brigadier Pat Bogert; and men from 2nd Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, the Lord Strathcona Horse, and the 2nd Battalion of the Royal 22nd Regiment returning home.

The love of my life gave his life here.
Such a sad ending to a life. But hopefully you gain some solace in all the Koreans on this documentary and ones like it, thanking the US and the UN for saving them.

I lived in South Korea from 1995-2004 and it is just amazing seeing street scenes of Korea and its people in 1950-53. Today is completely different world from the time of the Korean war. Korea's development has been amazing and its proud, kind people are equally so.
and nearly 20 years later its even more amazing.. Korea is just about the worlds most technologically advanced country today
My wife works at the Veterans old age hospital were I live. Very few WW11 veterans left there. Many Korean war vets though.
I salute the Canada army. Thank you for helping my country. Korea and Canada are friends 🇰🇷🤝🇨🇦
Most Canadians think your Chinese and wouldn’t be able to point out Korea on a map
Canada was part of the Australian force, same for Britain, New Zealand, South Africa and India.
Thank you for posting this video. My grandfather was part of the Princess Patricia Canadian Light Infantry 2P.P.C.L.I and he is 91 and still alive and well. These men were very brave and got very little to no recognition from the Canadian government. Important men lost in a forgotten war.
The PPCLI was stationed in Edmonton Alberta for a while, and we are/were very proud of their dedication and bravery.
저는한국인이라는게 부끄럽습니다 여러분들의 고궈한 희생정신 을 모르고 살았습니다 죄송합니다 🙏 미안합니다 또 미안합니다
존경하는 참전용사 와 유족여 러분께 머리 숙여 감사한 마음을 표합니다 어떻게 당신 가족의 아픔을 조금이라도 치유 할수 있을까요 행복하기를 🎉
We sincerely thank the veterans who sacrificed themselves in the Korean War. South Korea was able to defend freedom and democracy through the sacrifice and dedication of its heroes. South Korea will continue to work to uphold freedom and democracy.
Indeed,sadly we could not bring freedom to the north
What a great video. I grew up hearing story's from family members that were either PPCLI or the Royal 22 reg. I eventual joined the RCHA in 76. Freedom is not free.
We always appreciate and remember that help.
I am a member of the Korean people and I am deeply grateful to all Korean war veterans.
purespiritualmilk thank you
Canada was the fourth largest contingent during that war with UNO forces.
Even the Chinese?
As a korean, I appreciate all veterans who served in the Korean war.
On behalf of all Korean people, we thank you brave U.S. and Canadian troops who came to save South Korea from the communism. Because of your valiant effort, today South Korea is flourishing in Democracy. With Lord's help we look forward for the day of unification again. We hope that you will come and join us on that day. Thank you all from our hearts!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a fantastic video!!!! Thank you for posting!!!!! 5 Stars!!!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Any country that puts a beaver on one of their coins deserves a soldiers salute.
I remember watching an American documentary on Korean War, one of the US veterans they interviewed said he was greeted by only one person when he returned to his hometown from Korea. He actually wept when he said that. Must be painful for him.
This is the best and most well preserved of all the documentaries regarding Korea, thanks for the memories...both the good and bad.
We are originally from Quebec. My father fought as a US Marine in Korea in 1950. I served in Vietnam but spent time in Korea. Even my younger brother was a Marine and he served in Korea. We’d all do it again
Thank you for Your Service
While at Fort Lewis in 1950, the Canucks were housed in "North Fort" or "North Camp," which were the WW2-era barracks that have been used almost continuously, and over the past 50 years or so for ROTC Advanced camp. I was there for our six-week advanced camp in the summer of 1991, where we lived in the very same barracks in North Camp. I'm just learning now that they were also used by the Canucks deploying to Korea.
We were in Fort Lewis in the early 1980s.
My Dad was in the Highland Light Infantry Glasgow regiment he was in Korea
Respect from korea
Please let me also express my deepest appreciation for the heroes of the historic Battle of Kapyong, and all those who supported the struggle for what is right. I pray for all the blessings.
Along with 3 battalion RAR and US artillery, Kapyong was an heroic feat of arms.
Thank you so much
Our Freedom today came from your young solders bloods and sacrifices we thank you from bottom of our heart
Thank you is definitely not enough.
All I have to say is God Bless the Canadian soldiers, some of the best fighting men I have ever seen or served with.
Charles Flowers: Careful, god might change his mind and drown them.
Korean they fought for their country...and after they send units in vietnam..and today they are present in many U.N.operations...they are very professional..and they have very good equipments!
I m from italy...in 1950 my country was really poor..after second ww..and we didn' t have the power for send troops in your country.but we sent a military hospital for help the troops and the population .never forget who fought and died for freedom!!
My dad brought my my mom to Canada after the war he was all through Europe with the ppcli. She was from Genoa.
your country is the bomb
Hello Pietro. My dad, Canadian tank seargeant Gilbert J. Boyer, fought the Wehrmacht in Italy. (We never forgot Italian hospitality + our friends) - just wanted you to know that, Sir.
You are just like me because i'm italian too but also i do belived that those soldiers ho fought and died in WWII, Korea and many other conflict did all of this for the ideals of liberty, freedom, indipendence and the pursuit of our happiness, ideals and dreams so that se can live in peace and in a better and free world that's why i honored all of those brave soldiers and veterans including my father how fought in the Gulf War and was also in Somalia between 1992-1993.
Idiotas útiles todos uds!!! Realmente todavía creen que lucharon por la libertad???? Los banqueros y grandes empresas que manejan el mundo inventaron esas guerras!!!! En pleno siglo XXl, todavía creen que peleaban por la " libertad"; y por un "mundo libre"???????
감사드립니다
Losers
25 years Brit Airborne here, met a canuck who was serving with the US Airborne and had done tours in Vnam. We also had 2 canucks in our Battalion and an exchange officer from the CAB Regt.
Top soldiers, probably the best Army in the west- and yeah- I rate em above my own.
Respect to all Canadian men at arms.
Jaques I doubt you are brit or ever-were Brit Airborne. Your name and your subscriptions place you across the pond
Respect to the Brits from a Canadian Soldier as well, my friend.
sickkunt. And brotherhood from frenchies to Canadians and Britts. Friendly yours from France 🇫🇷.
Oh yeah tell that to the Glorious Gloucester Regiment who stopped a whole Chinese Army cold.
Ad me, has it ever occurred to you that jagues Daniels may just be a handle?
Most of us use handles, mine is.
..worked once with an old guy prospector who had a portable core drilling rig...he was in the Princess Pats...he told me he went thru 4 boxes of grenades one night when the Chicoms rushed his hill...
Feldwebel Wolfenstool sounds like kapyong
thanks so much
thank for your servise as military support, my country was saved by united nation solder's blood.
The Canadians were among the best trained and experienced troops ever fighting in both World Wars then later here in Korea and other conflicts including the Middle East.
My dad was in Korean War 25 th brigade. He lost leg there.Anyone knew him? Cpl. Chard
5:30 is the best part.
Of the 5 months of training that these boys received, 4 of them were spent rolling up and down the berm. One month was spent on brier bouncing, but mostly berm rolling was practiced
Canadians and Anzacs are wonderful guys.
Anzac is kinda a better name if I am to be honest.
Thank you glad to have helped really feel for the average Korean folks.
@@LSPD1909 buy the ANZAC biscuits!
Very cool video
So nice to see Canadian films in colour.
감사합니다
I would like to express my sincere respect and gratitude to all those who have defended the freedom and peace of the Republic of Korea!
Thank you with all my heart!
Excellent videos
My grandfather fought in Korea with the Princess Patricia's in the battle of Kapyong. He talked about seeing trucks of America's soldiers retreating telling them that they "better not go in there". He also meantioned how him and his fellow soldiers threw they're helmets off the trucks as they were heavy and uncomfortable.
I find the training footage at Fort Lewis astonishing to look at,Im in Lacey,WA not 5 minutes from there.blessing to our Canadian cousins!
The "Rock"-(Rockingham), was my fathers' commander in WWII...
Really great quality video too 👍
GREAT CANADIAN SOLDIER
GOOD!!!
THANK'S!!!
고맙습니다!!!
Thanks to Every UN nation, from R.O.K
I love your presentation, every step well prepared , understand that after signing the armistice treaty Canadian soldier from Vancouver stationed in the 金化，bought his book , Canadian soldiers were well disciplined proud of your performance
모든 참가 어르신에게 감사드립니다.
Great sacrifice & service for Korean War. God save this honorable Veterans!
9:37 True. 2/3 of the land consists of hills and mountains. In Korea you can see mountains all around.
Thanks to and Toast the Canada army.
I keep watching this old footage hoping to see my grandpa. He joined in 1943 and served in WW2 in the pacific with the Marine Corps then was deployed again to Korea and served throughout the entire war. He never talked about it, especially Korea. But lately I've found myself missing the old coot and it'd be nice to see his face.
Thanks Canada~~!!
THANK YOU KING DOM ARMY FROM KOREA SEOUL
thank you Canada, truly
I remember the shock of those hills on my first visit all too well. Coming from Japan where everything is pretty much concretified on hiking trails. Seeing the locals start a walk with steel rods, ropes, proper mountain gear was ... disconcerting. They thought nothing of inching along spread-eagled along a wall of rock with half-foot width support, pulling one another along. Totally ridiculous!! Man, any war there is simply be pure hell.
None war is Paradise..none war is beautiful..romantic...sweet..but sometimes is necessary.war is like the hell..i agree! But if you live in a dictature country... can be also worst,!!
Great Story.
I inherited a couple of Mark IV rifles after my husband passed away
Are you selling them?
Ordinary men doing the extraordinary.
감사합니다 캐나다.당신들이 없었다면 지금의 한국도 없읍니다.목숨바쳐 도와주신 모든이에게 감사드립니다.잊지 않겠읍니다.
흘려주셔서 고맙습니다. 마지막 1953년 늦은 가을 태에 났어요.
We are Canadian Volunteers . Canadian Forces . 🇨🇦🍁👍✌️
My dad and uncle were in Korea, 51/52, uncle Wally was wounded there, radio man 2PPCLI.
Thank you canada! Thank you UN! from korea.
I wish my country could remember her veterans.. Greece also was there , at korea.. war is bad for everyone..
Canada was part of the Australian force in the Korean War, same as Britain, South Africa, New Zealand and India.
My dad was in this war and he will never , ever talk about it . 😒
good documentary all the others I've watched have been from an American perspective.
There is also a communist prospective...but it is simply comic!!we know very well who start that war and why...and general mc arthur was right: we had to kick the reds untill the chinese wall.
Canadians go to war and a hockey game breaks out?
I'll bring the molson and rhe maple syrup.
SSSPRRIIIUUUN GATZOING, THE SOUND OF RICOCHET IN KOREA ! ! ! CHEERS FIR THE UPLOAD AND UPWITHITS WITH OOT END AND GALORE 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
Without your sublime sacrifice, today's South Korea would have already been occupied by the communist country.
Without you, Korea would not exist today, which has led to freedom and economic
prosperity. You are our true heroes.
why the national defence army declear wal which is 10,000km away?
감사합니다.
Thanks you Canada
Thank you Canada for your sacrifice!
South Korea is now an amazing country and well worth a visit.
Part of the great effort to establish Tim Horton's outlets in Asia.
lol
wouldn't have done any harm
@@russellking9762 Actually, Koreans did adopt a lot of American food into their cuisine as a result of the war.
Nice to see ships from Seattle here, love for Canadians tell your Vancouver mates to be nicer to us yeah? Cheers!
My stepfather was in Korean war. Somewhere I still have his boot knife he killed 27 NK's with. He was an Army Recon Ranger ... Seldom used a gun ... He told me they made too much noise! He liked his knife and really fine piano wire ...
My sister has his two purple hearts ... somewhere ...
God, it might as well be a wholly alien country compared to today. Union Jacks, the accents, the uniforms, the crowns and pips, the tam'o'shanterns and kilts, and the men themselves: New Zealanders, Australians, Englishmen, Canadians, Scots, and South Africans. BRITONS!
What about canadian army who lost their life during WW2 in hong kong?
I am surprised to see that the Cdns were still using Lee Enfield .303 Rifles. A very accurate rifle but it's old bolt action technology. The American Army had automatic rifles in WW2.
The Lee Enfield was still in service during the Malay emergency. A war in which unlike Vietnam the communist came out second best. It doesn't matter if you can pray and spray with your weapon if you don't hit anything. The Lee Enfield was paired up with the Bren the M1 Garand with the BAR which was outdated as an LM with its 20 round mag.
@@CharlesvanDijk-ir6bl
In the meantime the Commies were equipped with the famous Kalashnikov AK 47, a vastly superior weapon in every way to the Lee Enfield .303; as many western soldiers found to their surprise. Even the much vaunted USA could only come up with the Armalite AR-15 is a semi-automatic, 5.56×45mm .223 cal, air-cooled rifle.
A decent gun; but not well suited to battlefield conditions, at least in the 1960's. Jammed in muddy or sandy conditions ; while the Vietcong AK 47 continued with rapid fire under all conditions.
Like the WW2 Germans, the USA has got stuck in the "Too Fancy" rifle design rut. The Kalashnikov continues to out perform US Weapons on todays battlefield. i mean in all conditions. The Taliban is winning; while the USA Army sits in it Afghan bunkers whining & pining for home. Who can blame them?
I seen an M-2 carbine with a 30 round bannana magazine.
@@cdnsk12 Im not sure there were many AKs on this battlefield. Maybe AKS carbines and of course lots PPSH burp guns. Canada went with the FN FAL after Korea. On of the first to adopt the rifle.
Are you kidding me? Kelly Helmets when the British Army had converted to a better Helmet during WWII?
มันๆภาพชัดแจ๋ว
Quality Canadian film making
Before welcome philippines to korea but today welcome korea to the philippines( the unfogotten mission to korea)
Nobody knew about the PEFTOK boys, 1950 to 1955
I am glad you guys did not suckerd into the Vietnam debacle.
Don Bryant I .
See you are wrong here an estimated 40,000 Canadians joined the us under thier flag of course to fight in vietnam.......thats quite a number
In vietnam us was on the right side..it was right to fight overthere... but the south vietnamese forces ,or at least a part of them....and also a part of the population was against that war...not like in south korea.so americans decided to came out from that country. When the south viets realized who was the real ennemy..even with the same blood....for them was too late.and they escaped with boats..and americans ( and not only them..)went to try to rescue them.
old boy said screw low crawl ill just roll down lol
Love n.korean🇰🇵
할머님 그 때는 산에 나무가 없었어요. 가난하고 무었을 몰라서 지금은 나무 많아요. 개발이 엉키었지만 잡으면. 다 좋아지지요. 하하.
Almost looks as if they were setting out to embarked on D. Day wearing MK 2 Helmets.
고맙고 감사합니다 카나다여 ~
My Grandpa Served produly from Las Cruces NM
At last!! The secret farm team of the Vancouver Canucks is revealed!! lol
i love canada
Lest we forget
화질좋네
I was there. and it was rough
Kinda expected to see Bugs Bunny with the intro credits.
you have no clue. I aswell as about 50,000 other Canadians served in Vietnam!
Numbers pretty high.
No..after the korean war communists never put again their noise in south horea...better for them.
Still using WW2 equipment in Korea.
Gary Mckee Well…is only about 6 years after the end of WWII
All combatants from both sides were using WW2 equipment
Belgian and Luxembourg troops were equipped with FN-49s in Korea, but other than a few hundred of them, everything else was WW2
Craig Winter Also，US got some heli in Korea war too. That is new ：）
Let's look at the Korean War Museum Seoul you find. M4E8 ,T34/85, SU100 Russian 76.2 mm field gun Russian 152mm howitzer 90% of the stuff they have there is WW2
