On 25 June 1950 the forces of the Communist state of North
Korea launched a sudden invasion of South Korea. This aggression
led to intervention by international armed forces - the first
and, to date, the only United Nations "police action" in history.
The war which thus began turned out to be Canada's third
most costly overseas conflict. In it Canadian soldiers served as
part of a Commonwealth army formation and under a higher command
which in the last analysis was not Canadian, not British and not
American: it was a United Nations command.
