Purpose


The Uyldong-Ree Battle (From 22 to 23 Apr 1951) was the biggest battle that the Philippines Army fought against the Chinese Army during the Korean War.  They bravely defended the position against the strong offensive of the 34th Division of the Chinese Army in spring at Uyldong-Ree, located 5km away from the north of Yunchun. They successfully covered the unit located to their right side, allowing them to withdraw from their position to the rear. Afterwards, the Philippines Army evacuated to the rear as the U.N. Forces had commanded. This monument was erected to commemorate the successful battle at UyldongRee.
