Korea was a different war.

They asked us if we would, if some of us would go to the Royal 22nd Regiment, the Vandoos because they were very short of officers. And I said yes I’d go, so that’s who I was with when I went to Korea, the Vandoos. A different war from World War II, I mean we were living in trenches and you had not only the enemy to contend with but you had the monsoons and all this sort of stuff. By day everything would be fairly quiet, no one dared showed themselves. Then at night the fun would start, the rear patrols would go out and the Chinese would send out their patrols and eventually you would clash, you know. I think the United Nations at that time did us a great disservice because they kept telling the Chinese we were not going to go North, but the Chinese never said they weren’t going to come South. And so the most that they could fear from us would be a raid maybe, but when they attacked us, they came in the thousands, you know.It’s hard to believe because you can see all these figures coming up and you start firing on them of course, they start to drop. I don’t know if you have fear or not, uh, but there doesn’t seem to be any end to them, you know, and I guess the thought in your mind is, “When are they gonna stop? ” And sometimes they just overwhelmed positions.
