Título: Korean War, Australian Ground Force Unit
Descripción: Ver traducción automática
Caption: "Members of an Australian ground force unit, operating with United Nations forces in Korea, are shown eating their rations during a lull in a battle with the Communists." The invasion of South Korea came as a surprise to the United Nations. The same day the war had officially begun (June 25, 1951), the United Nations immediately drafted UNSC Resolution 82. The Liberal government of Australia, led by Prime Minister Robert Menzies, immediately responded to the UN resolution by offering military assistance. 17,000 Australians served in the Korean War between 1950 and 1953, and they suffered 339 dead, and 1200 wounded. The Australian government also called for 1000 men who had prior military experience in World War II to enlist in the army for three years, with one year of overseas service in Korea. They were called Korean Force or K-Force.
