Korean Veterans’ Day is commemorated annually on 27 July – marking the anniversary of the day in 1953 when an armistice was signed to end the fighting in Korea.
More than 17,000 Australians served in the Korean War, supporting South Korea alongside 21 other allied nations in defence of freedom and peace. Tragically, some 340 Australians lost their lives, more than 1,200 were wounded, 29 were taken prisoner, and more than 40 remain missing in action.
These efforts went largely unnoticed in Australia – causing added suffering for many who served in the so-called ‘forgotten war’.
On 27 July, join us in remembering the invaluable contribution of Korean War veterans.
Lest we forget.
