Atrocity Hill Becomes Symbol Of Bitter Korean Battle
Taegu Aug 21 AP In a brutal four day fight on hill 303 near Waegwan US forces halted a North Korean advance toward Taegu. Dogs led patrols to the trenches as Reds attacked by day and regrouped by night before American artillery and B 29 air power drove them off. The hill’s recapture protected the Naktong River line and taunted a growing beachhead, while teaching grit to US troops amid heat, death, and a sobering reminder of war’s price.
