Additional Information...

In February, 1951 the 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, joined as part of the 27th Commonwealth Brigade, and late that month had its first encounter with the communists and suffered its first casualties. The brigade moved into the Kapyong Valley where, on the night of April 22nd, the Chinese and North Koreans attacked in strength and the RoK (Republic of Korea) 6th Division was in danger of being cut off and destroyed. The 27th Commonwealth Brigade was tasked with maintaining a withdrawal route for the RoK 6th Division. During the battle which had the 2nd PPCLI on Hill 677, the unit was surrounded. In a battle that went on for two days the 2nd PPCLI suffered 10 men killed and 23 wounded. The 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry was awarded a US Presidential Citation for their actions on Hill 677.

In May of 1951 the remainder of the 25th Canadian Infantry Brigade (which was supposed to have sailed with the 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry) arrived in Korea and took part in another advance. In support of the US 25th Infantry Division, the Royal Canadian Regiment advanced near the village of Chail Li, but due to the depth of their advance were forced to retreat to avoid being outflanked.

There were many other engagements in which the Royal Canadian Brigade played an important role, including the defense of Hill 187 in May, 1953. The brigade repulsed a heavy enemy attack, suffering 26 killed, 27 wounded and 7 taken prisoner.
