Carol Walker MBE delivered a presentation on the Korean War, providing attendees with an enhanced understanding of the conflict and the significant role played by the Royal Ulster Rifles. Carol's firsthand experience in Korea, gained through interactions with Korean War veterans, allowed for a highly informative and personalised presentation.

The Korean War, also known as the Forgotten War, started on the 25th June 1950. While not on the scale of the Second World War the losses were high. The United States suffered the most casualties among the Allied nations, with nearly 37,000 killed and 103,000 wounded. South Korea also experienced very high casualties, with at least half a million killed or wounded. The United Kingdom suffered over 1,000 killed and 2,600 wounded. Other Allied nations, such as Turkey, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, also sustained significant losses.

At the evening's conclusion, expressions of support were conveyed by the Lord Mayor of Armagh City, Banbridge, and Craigavon Borough Council, Alderman Stephen Moutray, and the charity's Patron, Lt Col Ant Maher. The charity's Honorary President, David Martin MBE, presented Korean War 75th Anniversary coins to Carol Walker MBE and Lord Mayor Alderman Moutray.

On behalf of the Ancre Somme Association Charity, we express our sincere appreciation to all event supporters, particularly Carol Walker MBE, for her unwavering dedication to fostering future generations' understanding of history and ensuring the enduring remembrance of those who served.

We Will Remember Them
