Participants will overlook the ford on the Imjin, then visit “Castle Site.” Here, they will enter the Confucian shrine where an unknowing Lieutenant Phil Curtis took communion that Sunday morning, and stand on the spot where, just hours later, he won a Victoria Cross – at the cost of his life. Andrew will present a theory as to why this young man acted so heroically. They will then visit the brigade artillery position where Chinese attackers were repelled in Napoleonic style—over open sights. At the main valley they will hear about hand-to-hand combat, premonitions of death and “The Witch,” and will visit the backstop position overrun in the last hours. They will pass the spot where Colonel Kingsley Foster was killed with his rearguard at a Chinese ambush laid on the brigade’s line of retreat. They will finish at the Gloster memorial park at Solma-ri, where Andrew will recount the doomed battalion’s final hours.
