Seoul, South Korea 1950-09-26 (9 others)

Overview:

Obsessed with impressing General MacArthur, General Ned Almond promised to provide Seoul on a platter, three months to the day after the North Korean invasion. The capture of Seoul was therefore officially announced on the evening of September 25th, despite the inconvenient fact that the North Korean People's Army was still manning its defenses inside the city. That night, Almond exerted intense pressure on the 1st Marine Division to quickly get the job done, (ignoring casualties, especially civilian). Next morning, Colonel Lewis Puller's 1st Marine Regiment continued their push into the business district of the city, and Captain Bob Barrow's A Company was at the sharp end. Barrow was ordered to clear the main Seoul railway station, which had become a keystone of the NKPA defense.

Defender: North Korean (NKPA 25th Brigade)
