Seolmacheon

Seolmacheon is a stream in South Korea. It is a tributary of the Imjin River, which it joins at Jeokseong. It was on Gloster Hill, between the two rivers, that the British Battle of the [Imjin River#The.22Glosters.22|Gloucestershire Regiment] made their last stand against the Chinese in the Battle of the Imjin River, a major event in the Korean War, from 22–25 April 1951. At the Gloucester [Valley Battle Monument] the British Embassy in Seoul organises a service every April in commemoration.
