Imjin River was one of the critical battles of the Korean War, and perhaps the most tragic. It was also one where two Irish units – the Royal Ulster Rifles and the Irish Hussars – proved their worth in the sternest test of war: Battle against overwhelming odds. 
Andrew Salmon, who has recently presented to the IAK and guided re-visiting veterans around the “Happy Valley” battlefield, will lead this Royal Asiatic Society tour, which will take in the full valley where the RUR fought, stop at their final “backstop” position, and recount the stories of the men who survived. If you have seen him talk or read his books, you’ll know that this will be an unmissable chance to learn more about the war and these battles.
