Irish casualties in the Korean War 1950-53
August-December 1953 is the 60th anniversary of the repatriation of prisoners-of-war held by the United Nations and the Communists in Korea. During the Korean War 1950-53 the Communists held nearly 5,000 American and 1,000 British Commonwealth prisoners. A project is underway to try and identify Irish-born prisoners in both the US and British armed forces.
