BBC - Scotland's Forgotten War In Korea (1950-53) Pt 1

60 years after the Korean War, Jackie Bird investigates why one of the biggest conflicts of the 20th century has slipped from public memory. The war, in which thousands of young Scottish national servicemen fought, caused more British deaths than the Afghan, Iraq and Falklands wars combined. Jackie Bird discovers her own personal connection to the conflict and traces what happened to one of its forgotten victims. She also travels to Korea with some of the surviving Scottish veterans, on an emotional journey to reclaim their past. Although their numbers are dwindling with the passage of time, many of the Korean War veterans still have to come to terms with a war the rest of the country has largely forgotten

The presenter was highlighting the war but from a personal point of view as the storyline revolved around her neighbour

In the War museum in Seoul, Korea, there are items of all forces.including Belgium, during the Korean war. Uniforms and weapons and data of all their casualties.
