For four days, between April 22nd and April 25th 1951, seven-hundred men of the Gloucestershire Regiment stood against 27,000 Chinese troops in the Korean War.  The Battle of Imjin River could only result in death or capture for the 29th Brigade of the Glorious Glosters. 
  
  Their orders were to delay the Chinese long enough to allow United Nations forces to regroup and protect Seoul; had they broken through the capital would have fallen.  The Glosters were surrounded but, crucially, they stopped the attacking forces controlling the road to Seoul.
  
  This is the Battle of Imjin River, told by the men who were there.  This is the story of the Last Stand at Imjin.
