520    The story of the Forgotten Battle in the Forgotten War: 
       how a small band of Australians, Canadians and New 
       Zealanders in Korea gave up their Anzac Day barbecue to 
       stop the Seoul-bound Chinese Army in its tracks. It is one
       of the most signifiant battles in Australia's military 
       history  -  and the least acknowledged. On April 24, 1951,
       following a route of the South Korean army, the Chinese 
       People Volunteer Army pursued their enemy to the lines of 
       Australian and Canadian troops still digging fall-back 
       defences, 39 kilometres to the rear. Here, sometimes at 
       the length of a bayonet, often in total darkness, 
       individual was pitted against individual in a struggle 
       between a superpower and a cluster of other nations from 
       across the world. They fought for a valley, the ancient 
       and traditional invasion route to Seoul. If it fell the 
       southern capital and the war, was lost. The United Nations
       troops had the military advantage of the high ground and 
       artillery support:  the Chinese relied entirely on vastly 
       superior numbers.  As a result, young men from both sides 
       found a battle which was very close and very personal. The
       Battle of Kapyong became the turning point of China's 
       Fifth Offensive in that Korea Spring. The aim of the 
       offensive was to finally drive the foreign troops out of 
       South Korea and into the sea. What happened instead, 
       changed the history of the Korean War. The Chinese were 
       denied victory and forced back into negotiations. Had they
       succeeded, another crushing defeat for the US could have 
       triggered events that led to a nuclear holocaust in Asia  
       -  and World War Three.
