Atrocity Hill battles to defend Taegu in Korea
HAL BOYLE recalls Atrocity Hill as a savage four day fight that halted a Red advance toward Taegu. The U S First Cavalry Division held a steep ridge two miles from Wegwan, ending a threat to the Naktong river line and preserving the Taegu defense. The clash, marked by brutal combat, taught soldiers the resolve to hold ground rather than surrender to the enemy.
