The Battle of Kapyong stands as one of the definitive moments in Australian military history. In April 1951, the 27th Commonwealth Brigade – led by the Australian, Canadian, and New Zealand forces – held the line against a massive Chinese breakthrough, ultimately saving Seoul from occupation. Marking the 75th anniversary of the battle, this seminar offers a rare perspective from the front lines: the testimony of the last remaining Kapyong veteran in Western Australia. By combining first-hand accounts with historical data, the presentation explores how a force of under 1,000 men repelled an onslaught twelve times their size, as well as the evolution of the Kapyong legacy in both Australia and Korea.
