Turkish Troops with UN in Korea

Experts in hand-to-hand combat, they have time and again fought their way out of traps, often saving whole divisions from dangerous attacks. Seen here is the Regimental Flag of the 241st, the leading regiment of the Turkish Brigade fighting in Korea with the United Nations Forces.
