THE Korean War, which began on 25 June 1950 and concluded with an armistice on 27 July 1953, is a conflict that remains unresolved to this day and, in the view of many, under-recognised in public memory.

On Sunday, July 27, members of the Ross and District Branch of the Royal British Legion will acknowledge the service and sacrifice of approximately 60,000 British combat troops, including both regular soldiers and national servicemen, who served during the war.

We will also commemorate the loss of over 1,100 British personnel and 37,000 American lives during the conflict.

The ceremony will commence at 10am, at the Market House. After a short service of commemoration, the Korean Flag will be raised. All are most welcome to join in the ceremony.
