- Title
Passing the Test: Combat in Korea: April–June 1951.
- Authors
Millett, Allan R.
- Abstract
I Passing the Test i uses contemporaneous interviews and reports to conduct a retrospective on Korean War ground combat in April-May 1951. Most published Korean War oral history interviews were made long after the action with subjects too young in 1950-1953 to know more than the horrors of their personal experiences. The U.S. battalion rescued two 29 BIB battalions, but a late, awkward attack by the attached 10th Philippine Battalion Combat Team did not open an escape route for a third British battalion, the Gloucestershire Regiment, which went down fighting in the finest tradition of the British army.
