The Battle of the Imjin River: 75 Years On', Brigadier James Daniel, Nicola Nash & Robert Dixon

This April marks 75 years since the battle that became a defining moment in the Korean War.

Outnumbered by Chinese forces, the 1st Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment held the line buying vital time for UN troops.

Many were killed or captured, enduring harsh captivity in Chinese POW camps.

Robert Dixon, former Commanding Officer of the Glosters, Brigadier James Daniel from the UKs Strategic Command and top battlefield detective Nicola Nash explore the battle, the mission to identify the fallen and whether, with the current state of the Army, we could commit such an expeditionary force today?
