On November 27, 1950, the battle of the Chosin Reservoir began. It was a two-week-long bloodbath pitting 30,000 US, ROK, and British troops against 120,000 Chinese soldiers and was a defining moment of the Korean War.

Fighting in bitter cold and brutal terrain, men endured severe frostbite, sleepless nights, and total mental and physical exhaustion. Below-zero temperatures, snow-covered mountains, icy roads, and wind-swept cliffs made every skirmish, firefight, and attack a nightmare beyond the men’s wildest dreams.

With tens of thousands of young Americans and Chinese locked in eye-to-eye, hand-to-hand combat in the desolate, freezing mountains surrounding the Chosin Reservoir, the death toll soared. Even men with minor wounds or injuries frequently died. If you stopped moving, you froze.

In the end, nearly 6,000 Americans were dead or missing; thousands more were wounded. Chinese dead, wounded or missing numbered over 48,000. None of the men who survived the horrific battle would ever be the same. Today they are called “The Chosin Few."
