Summary
Far Eastern Tour : The Canadian Infantry in Korea, 1950-1953
What was it like to serve in the infantry during Canada's Forgotten War? In this text, Brent Watson tells the story of the Korean War from the perspective of Canadian soldiers. Dealing with the fiasco surrounding recruitment, a training regime inappropriate for the war they were to fight, and the stark living and combat conditions the soldiers faced, Watson examines the human consequences of an Army that was totally unprepared for service in the Far East.
