“They went over to the other side of the world. It was part of the United Nations, they called it a police action, but it a war by all definitions of the word. We had 26,000 Canadians serve on land, at sea and in the air during this conflict. We all know with recent news about North and South Korea still have a lot of tensions and such but on July 27, 1953, there was an armistice signed and it stopped the everyday shooting and bombing.”
“At the beginning of the Korean War, North Korea had invaded the South and they had pushed almost all the way to the very southern edge of the peninsula,” said Banman. “So whenever the United Nations forces intervened, they did a lot because they restored peace and freedom to South Korea, so it was a very important war and an important outcome to the people of South Korea because they were able to develop into the free and democratic and wealthy society they have now.”
