French Hold T-Bone Hill In Korean War Clash
French troops on the Western Front defended T-Bone Hill against a 500-man Chinese Communist assault near Chorwon. Hand-to-hand fighting lasted about two hours with artillery bursts as 56 killed and 150 wounded reported among the attackers. The French battalion, attached to the U S Second Infantry Division, held the hill while U S Eighth Army confirmed the Second Division's assignment to guard the ridge overlooking the main front. The 45th Division had wrested nearby heights last month, but Old Baldy was again contested as rain and overcast limited air activity to fighter-bomber strikes.
