Korean War Memorial
The memorial above was carved by a Korean mason during the succeeding battles before being erected on 3 July 1951 overlooking the battlefield
As Seoul expanded the memorial had to be moved and was repatriated to the depot of the Royal Ulster Rifles at St Patrick's Barracks Ballymena
It was moved to this final resting place on 24 May 2008 with the gracious permission of Belfast City Council
This relocation was made possible by generous donations from the Regiments and Veterans who fought in the battle, individuals, trusts, the Korean government and Samsung electronics
